>>>Should there be any differences in running exe vs .prg?
>>>I do and the prob is that when I run an exe from my development dir and a said listbox is empty of its data, but when I run the .prg or .exe from the curdir, it's ok. In all here's the situation:
>>>do myprog.prg is ok
>>>do myprog.exe is ok
>>>do r:myprog is NOT ok. R: is network

You probably need to set the default directory.

SET DEFAULT TO R:\STARTDIR
DO MYPROG
