Are you writing in Visual Fox or Fox for Windows?

In Visual Fox, the message box font is controlled by the Windows™ "appearance" setting for messagebox, at least it is in Win98.

JME

>But when I run a compiled exe on my own workstation the messagebox font looks to me like the old 'foxfont' or something similar, whereas when I run the same app within the dev environs, the font is the windows default (ms sans serif 8 point).

>Also, whatever changes to messagebox fonts I make on users' machines seems to make no difference whatsoever. They all seem to get an ugly bloated version of the foxfont.
