I just wrote a little exe that displays on a form if I can PING a site.

Works fine on the development w98, as an exe or from VFP ( do my.exe )

Copied to another station, from VFP, do my.exe works fine.

As a standalone , though , it actually works, but with one fatal flaw, you cannot SEE the form or screen!! ( acts as if Visible = .F. )

Yet i simply copy the .exe from one machine to the other!

ANy ideas ?

thx
