Hi Gerard,
>After wasting a day, I downloaded SP1 and it fixed the problem.
Good for you ;-)

>As a matter of interest, is there anywhere where known bugs are listed.
One of my secondary pet peeves with vfp - not official bug list.
There is a bug list here on UT, but I think a format like MySql's
is much better. MS stated often that they won't make their bug list accessible -
from my point of view a bad decision. At least you can read in each service pack,
what issues were cleared and what you possibly missed in your app <g>.

>I would have considered this a 'major bug'
Alex T. from MS described in a post what was the problem and why MS decided to disable
Rushmore then. I don't remember the exact content, but remember being impressed
with the open answer: the MS decison "made sense" and the info enabled customers
running against this problem to take steps with the knowledge what was happening.

>and would have saved a lot of time if I was aware of it .
That's the reason I'ld like a public bug list - been there as well...
