>It doesn't look like a problem is with MSVCR70.dll. Are you using any activex controls in your application?

These the controls/classes in my project.

The VFP6 exe does not seem to have the problem I am experiencing, in that, if I click on the exe shortcut on the desktop, the target exe compiled in VFP 6 fires and all is well.

Thanks.
