I'm positive that this just started happening in the last couple of days. A program, which I know worked in VFP 7.0, that I created using VFP 7.0, now all of a sudden doesn't work due to the pathing issue. It definately sounds like my machine got whacked somehow. Possibly by installing another application or something. I'm testing both versions of foxpro simultaneously on the same machine.

I couldn't get the MAP program to export to a text file. I could view the settings using DOS.

Yes I am using different foxuser tables. What is the best way to get a clean/new foxuser.dbf? Zap it from the opposite version?

Thanks,

>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.
