>>I have 2 small VFP7 applications that run perfectly well from a desktop icon for 99% of our clients. For one client, the apps run from within VFP but nothing happens when run from the icon. It seems to be skipping over the call to run the form and nothing shows up. I tried running the systems from the server which is running WIndows 2000 Terminal. Any ideas?
