I just sent the application out to another group which had the older run time version on their machines and I get a printing error and one of the forms isn't working correctly. I can't reproduce the error so I'm attributing them to the run time but I'm not really sure. I'm going to install a new run time on a few machines in the new group and try to resolve the problem.

What type of printer are they using? VFP has been known to have some problems with an HP driver from HP. This has also been known to cause other problems (graphics, etc.).

If it goes to the registry first, my only solution appears to be to reinstall the run time for all locations. Although, I think I will volunteer to go to the Virgin Islands location to personally install the new runtime on that computer.

AFAIK, it doesn't use the registry at all so you should be okay using the default directory or SET PATH TO.
