Well, if re-building the project from scratch doesn't work, as an emerency, last ditch, I've got to get this working type thing, I'd copy the directory tree over to C:, and trying re-building it again from there. I'd also make sure that the CONFIG.FPW file that was being used was the one I thought, and I'd include paths in the TMPFILES statement (i.e.: TMPFILES=C:\FOXPROW\) and the same for EDITWORK, SORTWORK, and PROGWORK.

As for IBM...I won't say how I really feel. I'd probably get thrown out of here. However, Shaw went from IBM to Compaq and back to IBM. Had more problems configuring those machines than I can tell you about. Right now, I think we get the ones we don't build ourselves from Dell. Since the son of a friend of mine works for Dell, I'm probably going to get my next machine (this summer) from them. That is if they'll build it to my specs and don't try to sell me a bunch of stuff I don't want or need.
