>Sometimes when running a standalone VFP6 EXE (where the EXE resides on the server and is being run from a workstation via a desktop shortcut), i get an 'opening....' msg on the taskbar and it just sits there. sometimes i'm able to right click on it and select and it does. other times it does not. running Win98. any ideas?
