As far as I know W2K does not support DOS apps completely, odd behavior will occur...maybe you can make changes on a WIN95/98 OS on another machine?

You can recompile a DOS Fox app in VFP (I have done this in VFP 6.0) but it really doesn't look or run all that 'Windows-like'. It might get you out of your short-term problem, though.

It's been over three years since I did the recompile, but I remember the process wasn't too difficult. I can't remember enough to give you specific instructions, though...sorry.

HTH,

>I never thought this would happen again but ... I have picked up a client that has a small system written in FPD26. I am in the process of rewriting this for VFP. But ... the client needs a change to printer forms and I'm having trouble with FPD26 development under W2k on a 1GHz pc. It freezes repeatedly. Does anyone know why this might be happening? As an alternative is their some way I can simply recompile the entire system under VFP and run it character based? So far, the only thing playing with the fonts does is change the way the lines overlay each other.
