Hi thanks for answering so fast.
The POS was developed on a Packard Bell Pentium 75 computer with I upgraded to WIN95 about 8 months ago I have 24MB extended memory the new system has 16mb extended memory and is using the same win95 version that I have I am not sure about FAT32 but you raised a very good question I've checked my CONFIG.SYS and found that I have FILES = 100. I don't have the other computer at hand but I figured it doesn't have this line on the config.sys sense I did not put it there. Perhaps this is the problem?
The system was developed in VFP 3.0
Again thanks.
