>I installed Office 97 SP2 and began experiencing intermittent problems with the VFP debug tools. Problems became persistent. Today, with the Trace window open, attempting to do any program produces a fatal error (c0000005). I remember seeing a document on differences between Office 97 runtime dll's and VFP development dll's, but I don't remember much else.

First, try to bring up the debugger by itself without trying to debug any code and clear all the breakpoints (the hand icon with the X through it). If that doesn't work, you can try exiting VFP, deleting your FOXUSER.DBF/.FPT files, and restarting VFP.
