Hi Tracy.
>I have not installed anything new or changed any settings, but when I click on the VFP8 shortcut I now get the infamous 'failed to initialize' message and VFP8 (development environment) will not start. Any ideas anyone?
you should try deleting the resource files from the folder where your VFP is starting from (foxuser.*). Sometimes that's what it takes. :)
