I have tested SYS(0) successfully on standalone machines, Win95, Win98, WinNT machines, Novell networks and NT networks and never seen a problem. There must be one though, because you are not the first person to mention it...

Hi Erik,

If I recall correctly, SYS(0) was fixed in one of the VFP 3.0 releases or patches. I seem to remember downloading something from the MS site that fixed it. In FPW 2.6 it still doesn't work. Works fine in 6.0 (and 5.0 also).
