I work with VFP 6 SP4 on Windows 2000 Server, and I have not had any problems. It seems as though VFP does not crash as much, and Windows itself rarely crashes. It is so nice to get away from 3-4 reboots a day under Windows 9x!

Other people have had a problem with Windows 2000 corrupting their .sc? files. Please see message #447218
