>>I've just started with VFP5 (on WIN95), and have been testing EXEs and APPs from inside VFP. Today I tried to start an EXE from its icon in Explorer, and got a 'File Not Found' error. Finally made a 'Hello World' EXE, no forms, no libraries, etc. Same problem.

>I don't know what could be the problem because I can run any Foxpro .EXE or .APP from Explorer w/o first installing the individual apps. Somehow (I don't know how yet) the Exploer knows that my Foxpro .EXE file is a Foxpro program (I could see the cute little fox icon on the left :) ) and first start the Foxpro program before running the app. It doesn't use the runtime .EXE but the actual Foxpro development environment.
John,
I've got the fox icon too, but it doesn't RUN.
Thanks,
Barbara
