>Do you know where the list is stored? In windows 2000 the add/remove programs list is sortable so I guess I need to where the list is (if it is stored or just generated each time you choose add/remove programs), what is the format of the list, and is it possible to do some type of import into a format that can be use by VFP7.

No. Sorry, it seems I misunderstood your original question.

But probably you have to check somewhere in the registry. Run REGEDIT, and search for some string you know should be in installed programs.

If you find something, the next question, then, is "how to access the Windows Registry".

Oh, and be careful when playing with the registry. If you change certain critical entries, you may have to re-install the OS.
