>Craig,
> that was what I thought but just wanted to make sure. Do you have any Win 95 stations running VFP 7?

I don't - any client who wants to run a VFP7 app should have adequate resources on the machine to run Win98, a far less problematic OS; memory is dirt cheap, as are new machines that are adequate to handle the environment. They can run unsupported on Win95 if they want; there are too many things like Shell.Application, DCOM, some APIs and VMM issues that make it nearly a no-brainer to upgrade. The cost of continued maintenance under Win95 nearly always exceeds the cost to upgrade.

>>>I was just looking through the MS VFP web pages and noticed that the requrements call for Windows 98 or higher. A lot of my customers are still running 300 MH Pentiums with Windows 95. Does anyone have any number of Win 95 stations running a compiled VFP 7 app. or does that simply not work. Currently we use VFP 6 with really good results. I don't want to change if there is any chance of a problem. 30 plus sites with 5-15 PCs each make me nervous.
