>The d-drive problem in FPW 2.6 is a pervasive one, and will appear in a lot of different places. We have reformatted every development computer in our office to have only a c drive. This has helped, however we have also found remnants of d-drive references in some unusual places. For example: we have had to use a hex-editor to remove d-drive references from both our genpd.app and setup.app files.

>>>After compiling an APP in Foxpro 2.6a on a machine that has both a C: Drive and a CD-ROM, When try to pull up the executable I get Error Reading Drive D:, d being the CD-ROM Drive. If I put a cd in the cd-rom drive it solves the problem but that is not an acceptable fix. I tried to find somthing on Microsofts Knowledge Base but was unsuccessful. If any one else has this problem please let me know the outcome. Thanks

There is a file I loaded up here on the UT files section a while back, that supposedly will go thru your project and fix the D: drive problem..

Thanx!
