Sylvain,

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, this is not our problem. The application is installed on a local drive, and there is no space in the path to the application.

Thanks again,
Jonathan

The problem occurs both in Win95 and NT4 (not tested in Win98 or Win2000, but I suspect it's still there), and both VFP5 and VFP6SP3 have this problem.

>>No, I haven't resolved it yet. I've had some problems getting assistance from the user's system administrators. I can't go on-site to look at it, so I have to rely on them. It's interesting that your user is having this problem on Win98. I thought that the problem may be related to file permissions or some NT security settings. I guess now I'll look at things like Temp directories and environment settings.
