This is one of those questions that Ed Rauh or George Tasker is probably going to look at and say "Well, duh..." - or at least I'm hoping < s >

As you may have noticed, the Test Harness that ships with VFP does not work with Windows XP Pro. Unlike its behavior in Win2K it will not recognize a running VFP EXE as a VFP app.

My understanding from talking to Rick Schummer and others who understand this far better than I is that this has something to do with the way Test Harness call the Active Accessibility functions of the OS, which I guess has changed from Win2K to WinXP.

In any case, since source seems to be there I was wondering if anyone who *does* understand this stuff has taken or could take a look at this problem. Testing scripts are very cool, but VFP tools that don't work with the latest Microsoft OS are less cool.

I've been told the harness was originally developed in house at SBT, so perhaps someone connected with them knows of and has solved this problem in house.

Guidance and hi-level guru-hood, as always, is appreciated.

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
