>My client is clicking on their desktop short cut and getting "File 'rt.exe' does not exist" (they read it to me so I believe this is the exact error). Rt.exe is an VFP 6 SP2 application that resides on the novell server. Thinking that the shortcut is wrong, they go into Windows Explorer and double click the file rt.exe and get the same message. Others in the office use the same software (rt.exe) on the server and do not get the message. Any thoughts?

Check for spaces in the path. Probably that user has somehow the path to the exe with some spaces inserted - and a VFP executable was unable to find itself if the network path contained spaces, until VFP6 SP3 or SP4, when this bug was fixed. I'd recommend upgrading all the way to SP5 (for a number of other reasons as well), but if that's not an option, just check for spaces.
