Hi --sb--.

Yes I tried that before but this did not seem to do the trick for me. I just tried it again but still no luck. I looked in the registry and for file extentions like PJT, for instance, both VFP7.EXE an VFP8.EXE were now in the OpensWith list but with VFP7.EXE listed first.

Fortunately there are not too many registry entries and I just edited them myself. All fixed - no problemo :)

>>Hi All. In point form for ease:
>>
>>1) I have a server running W2K Server.
>>2) I had VFP7 installed on it.
>>3) Then I also installed VFP8.
>>4) The file associations for files like .DBF were still associated to VFP7.
>>5) I then uninstalled VFP7. This left VFP files without any asociated application because they were still looking for VFP7.exe.
>>6) I uninstalled and reinstalled VFP8 hoping that this would associate all VFP files with the VFP8.exe. No luck - they were still associated to VFP7.exe
>>7) I tried running VFP8.exe /regserver but this did not help
>>8) Under explorer/tools/folder options/File Types tab I have re-associated DBF with VFP8.exe.
>>
>>Q) Is there an easy way to get all VFP file types associated back to VFP8 or is this a registry hack and/or going via (8) above?

>>Thanks.
