Who said anything about re-formatting? < s > All I did was trying installing the purchased version on my Win98 machine, which blew up. I uninstalled it, and installed the MSDN version. That worked. Unfortunately, it seems the bad version is more deeply entrenched on my Win2000 machine. Uninstalling and reinstalling the MSDN version on that machine doesn't fix the problem, even after running VFPClean. (Jim, I'm probably going to corner you at the summit on this. < s >)
