>I have win95, win98, NT4, 2000pro, XP pro, xp home. I had a couple issues, one that wasnt vfp8 related. THe installshield engine would not work on NT4 sp3, I had to step back a version.

Thanks - I can do all my ISX work on XP, so that aspect shouldn't be an issue, I don't think. So, then you can install the vfp8 runtimes on any NT4/SP6a machine okay, then, and run a typical vfp8-compiled exe?

If so, I guess the only problem area would be regarding any vfp8 features that NT doesn't support, like Themes?

I'll begin SMS install-testing real soon, I just want to try to get a rough idea what will work and what may have problems...
