I still would like to see your setttings in BOTH versions right at the problem line. Output to a text file while running in both versions the drive mappings, the default drive, and the path. Both use the SAME config.fpw file, correct? And do you use a foxuser.dbf? Is it the same or different between the versions? It needs to be different for each version. If so, start with a clean/new foxuser.dbf in both versions. Also, are you testing both versions simultaneously or separately on the same machine?

>>Mike, I just tested this on my W2k machine with the default in vfp set to the L: drive and the path set to the t: drive and when I tried to open a table that was located in the path, it worked fine. So it cannot be a bug. I'm using VFP7 SP1 too.
