>>>How do you get the copy/paste function to work on a user machine? I am using my own menu and added the copy paste functions under an Edit dropdown. When I test the .exe on any machine that has VFP5a loaded, it works great. Not so on the users machines who are accessing the .exe from the server. All user machines have Win95. All other parts of the project work great. Do I need to access the Win95 functions on the user machines? Hope this makes sense!

It's just on those machines that don't have Fox installed. I installed the project tables on the server (Norvell)and the .exe's in separate subdirectories on the server. The individual user machines get the .exe from the server to start the program. When I originally installed the project, I used a "dummy" install on each user machine to get the necessary Fox drivers. Is the Cut/Paste function coming from Fox or from Win95? Thanks in advance.

Should be coming from Fox.. Do you have a resouce file that these folks are using?? If so, make sure that each user has their own..

Do you have any condistions set in the menu, so that those options are disabled??

Why, if I may ask, do you have the people running the app from the network?? This is okay to do, but slows down an application, since they have newtwork traffic in downloading the app from the server, versus having a network install routine, that each user runs, to have it installed on their local machine.. Just wondering..

Thanx!
