>A client is running a simple vfp3 app on a very simple windows 95 peer to peer network. One computer on the network will not run the application from a shortcut but will run it from Windows Explorer (by selecting the server's drive, clicking on the app's folder, and then double clicking on the app's exe.) We can right-click and drag the apps exe out of the explorer onto the desktop and create a shortcut and the app will not run. It complains of all sorts of things like "class not defined" or "can't add object to grid". All the other computers on the network have exactly the same setup and they run just fine.

I've occasionally had this issue, and it is almost always the 'Start In' setting inside the short cut that causes the problem. It can set the current directory to something other than desired.
