Another one of our developers can build the same APPs on her machine from the same source code, GSX drivers, etc., and users don't get the error.
For this problem, if any drive other than c: is the offending drive, the advice given by Mr. Hairston (FoxPro Advisor, June 1997, page 60) makes sense - he gives solid advice on how to find non-c: references in the application and how to eliminate them, But for my problem, this does not help, since it is drive c: that cannot be found.
