>Are there any special settings that need to be set with FPW 2.6 (or VFP) using NT4 wotkstation ?

it needs set to run in it's own memory space. It's been a few years since I had to deal with this, but I believe I used to set this by creating a shortcut to the app on the desktop. Then right click the shortcut and under properties there is a checkbox you need to turn on. HTH.
