>Tom,
>I got this CD (same offer, same dialog with M$), but I can't use it at work, because it works only if you have CD-ROM attached to your PC. We have bunch of CD-ROM on network server, but not on my workstation, where I have VFP.
>Did you have same trouble? Do you know any workarounds? I asked M$ Fox suppot, they even did not know that migration CD exists. I tried CD at home, it works fine, but I don't have VFP at home and I prefer to learn VFP at work when I have time.
>It has something to do with "Autorun", I can see CD root directory, but can't open any folder or file.

You should still be able to map network drive to your server CD-Rom. You could then open Explorer and go to that mapped drive to run the setup executable. I think the key would be to map an actual drive letter to the CD-ROM first. Then "explore" the CD through that drive.
