Hi Wesley,
As Pete mentioned, Windows 2000 will run Foxpro 2.6 apps under normal circumstances. The primary catches are printing, using com ports, ftp, shared network drives, and Ole automation. We have a HUGE FPD26 app that is running on literally hundreds of clients machines ontop of W2k. We are just about ready to field the updated app (in VFP7), but in the meantime, our clients are running the FPD26 app under W2k.

>They have a FoxPro 2.6 App that "supposedly" will not run on Windows2000 machines(I am told Win2000 does not support 16-bit Apps). Though the application does run on One of the clients Win2000 machines. Of course the solution would be to duplicate what the user did on the One machine that it does work, but that would be too easy.
