>This problem is driving me nuts. Two boxes at my desk, both Win95 (don't laugh) IE5.01 installed months ago. On one of the two, in VFP6SP3 using the File Open dialog either in VFP or my app the files are being listed in "date" order instead of "name" order. This just started a few days ago, and I sure as heck don't remember doing anything that would have caused this.

I have no idea how to fix this, but it happened to me once. ONLY VFP find dialog had the files ordered in reverse alpha. I never solved it. This was Win95. I never got rid of the problem until I upgraded to Win2K.
