Alec,

I doubt that VFP is the problem. Does http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=327462 apply?

However, once that user logs into the network on an XP machine they can no longer run the application on any of the W2000 machines. Seems that XP is changing the Roaming Profile on the server in such a way as to screw up W2000's ability to run the same APP.
