>Jim, thanks for the reply. I, too, have been using Fox stuff since the 80s and have never seen it move files of its own volition. The first time I questioned my sanity, the second time I was sitting at the keyboard with another (top-notch) developer looking on and we BOTH witnessed this weirdness. As for my code doing this, fat chance. My code in no way, shape, or form makes ANY attempt to move the datafiles, thank you. Just this morning, VFP trashed a project file when it crashed because I referenced a non-existent object (I had mis-spelled the name in the reference). I think you all should stop trying to lay this at my doorstep and fix this buggy piece of software. Send an engineer out to my place (see if Andrew Coupe has anyone available) and I'll show him enough problems to keep your bug-fixing team (you *do* have one of these, right?) busy for a month...

Richard,

No one here is a Microsoft employee. If you want to bark at Microsoft you should go where they are www.microsoft.com and voice your complaints.
