No, no dig intended, I was meaning that having a working vfp debugger is *a lot* better than not having one...


>Anyway, I have tried installing VFP 7 and Service Pack 1 and VFP 7 itself wont even run. Is there some strange update MS might have added to the Version of Windows 98 that comes in the MSDN Universal package (Green CD # 0011)? By the way it also has all of these same problems on Windows ME. But it works fine on NT4.

Well, could be, but you'd think it would have made the news here and elsewhere. But not a lot of 98/ME users these days (nor NT, either), so you could be right. I take it you have no vfp6 or 8 or other OS to check on this.

Where is the vfp install placing the runtimes: ProgramFiles\etc... or a System directory, on each type of OS? That makes a huge difference between NT and XP, that much I can tell you. Installed in wrong place, they won't run at all. (For XP, the wrong place is System, for NT the wrong place is Program Files...just opposite of each other, basically.

Hold on, I'll check my 98SE while I'm at it. Okay, all vfp runtimes are in Program Files...if yours are, you might try copying them into the pathed System dir, see if they run. Just WAGs here, but this seems somewhat of an unusual problem.
