Thanks for the reply. Here's what I have:
1. The paths for the data sources are the same for both machines. We are using the Syskent table for all of our paths to keep things straight.
2. I checked both machines and drivers for VFP and the old FoxPro are included. I'm assuming since I'm using the newest VFP to do this, these are then VFP tables. Is that right?
3. No one else has the data source open when I'm trying to run on the Win95 machine.
4. I'll go check out the service pack stuff.
Thanks for your help!
