Hi!

Well, while I was not able to fugure it out in a short tests, here are some ideas.
Just find what is deifference between these 2 computers. What version of VFP used?
Open Options dialog box, hold down the Ctlr, Alt and Shift keys and press Ok button - this will put into the command window all settings list. Write this into the text file, do the same at another computer and then compare settings. Take a look also to the difference in the regianal settings in Windows, but I do not think it can help.
