Hi, Jonathan.

>We just swapped out our old windows 98 computer for one that runs windows xp. we are running foxpro 2.5. when i try access a database file, foxpro comes up with an error message "this is not a database file". i have tried to correct the problem using the compatability wizard, but that did not permanently fix the problem.

I guess you have a corruption problem not directly related to XP, but in any case, you can try making a shortuct to your application, then right-clicking it to access the shortcut properties, and in the compatibility tab, select W98 compatibility mode.

Hope this helps,
