Hi Kevin,

We have experienced problems before with Visual Foxpro 5.0 and NT 4.0 SP(6) in relation to "Access Violation Errors"
Check out the Article ID Q16827 on www.support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles
Install the Service Pack 3.0 for Visual Studio 97; this fixes the Dr. Watson access violation error.

Hope this helps.

Philip
