Hi Jamie,

I've run into this before and I think that I read here that there was a bug in one of the VFP commands like getdir() or getfile() or something in an early release of VFP6 or 7 that caused this to happen.

Where this consistantly happens is when I print a report or text file to Adobe PDF writer. This ALWAYS changes the VFP default directory to that specified in the "print to" dialog for PDF Writer. Since I discovered this, I always assign the current directory value to a variable, print reports and reset it back if it has changed. Ive also seen some third party controls do the same thing.

HTH
