Whoops, sorry guys about that emtpy post.
OK, here's the real scoop on MSVCRT.DLL.
First, I seriously doubt if it's related to the problem. The following is from MS Knowledge Base article Q156976.
"The version of files MSVCRT40.DLL and OLEPRO32.DLL in Windows NT 4.0 and Visual C++ 4.2 are wrapper DLLs that call functions in a new file, MSVCRT.DLL. The file MSVCRT.DLL is included in Windows 98, but not in Windows 95 or Visual Basic 4.0."
Since I ran foxtools in both VFP 5.0 and 6.0 on an early version of Windows 95 without problems, it may not be the problem unless the DLL shipped with VFP.
