>>>When I run my vfp5 app on NT4/SP4 and go to a certain process, I get the above message & good old Doc Watson. Under Win95, there has never been a problem like this. I guess I'll have to install vfp5 to debug, but has anyone ever encountered this problem?

You've got me. I've not noticed any real differences between 95 and NT as far as that goes. All I know, is that since we switched from Novell 4 to NT 4 a couple of years ago, we don't have anywheres near the corruption problems we did back then.
