Hi to all,

We have an app developed with VFP 5 which runs over Windows NT 4.0 Workstations and we eventually get Dr. Watson error messages, but mostly in developing time, for example when compiling a project or getting the last source code version of the components of the project from the VFP IDE (we use Visual Source Safe). We get a shared access violation error message.
Tried with all SPs but the errors persist ...

>>>Hi, gang...
>>>
>>>We appear to have a compatibility issue between a legacy app in VFP 5 and NT.
>>>
>>>The app runs fine under 95/98, yet intermittently generates Dr Watson or 'has generated errors and will be shut down' error messages when running under NT 4/Win 2000.
>>>
>>>There's no pattern to when it errors out.
>>>
>>>We're using the original VFP 5...never went to any bug releases of VFP 5, because we were always happy with the original.
>>>
>>>Has anyone run into this, and what did they try? For a variety of reasons, upgrading this legacy app to VFP 6 is probably not a possibility
>>>
>>>TIA,
>>>Kevin

>>We have experienced problems before with Visual Foxpro 5.0 and NT 4.0 SP(6) in relation to "Access Violation Errors"

>>Install the Service Pack 3.0 for Visual Studio 97; this fixes the Dr. Watson access violation error.

>>Hope this helps.

>On the subject of access violations using VFP5-SP3 and NT 4.0-SP6, has anyone come across "Access violation (0xc0000005) at address 0x1029bbfd"; The Article ID Q16827 solution was applied but did not entirely solve the problem (intermittant whilst running). I've also tried renaming the Foxuser resource file as some members have suggested.
