>What I don't understand is the fact that even this "out of the box" LOCAL apllication will not work. I guess that once I get the LOCAL application working mine will work as well. So for now I will concentrate on trying to recompile the LOCAL application before my own app.

Just a SWAG, but most of them don't seem to like dimensioning an array in a LOCAL declaration. You might try separating them out to a separate LOCAL ARRAY statement.

Is there a missing comma in one of them too?

You could also try using the VFE 5.5 classlibs instead of the 5.0. These were designed to work the same as the 5.0 but to work with VFP 6.
