Peter,

Interesting. I have the tech preview installed on my machine at home apparently without trouble. I just wanted to make sure to wait a little while before installing at work. I haven't seen the behavior you mention but it's good to know about.

THanks!


>The only problem I have encountered with the TechPreview (I have not yet istalled the beta1) is the when going back to VFP6 all fonts are about 1 point size. A whole page of code fits into the top 1/" of the screen. When I go to change the font it is set to somthing like -65000

Best,
