FoxPro puts a reference to the development drive letter in the application and if the user doesn't have an E: drive (such as a CD-ROM drive with no CD in it) then they get the error. If the user has a CD-ROM that is E: then they can put in any CD (either music or data) and you shouldn't get the error.

Thanks alot. I downloaded a program to fix the Cannot Read from Drive D: error, and low and behold it fixed this problem too! Thanks for the information, I wouldn't have known the two problems were related without it.
