Thanks Segrey.

Fantastic. For some reason, the VFP8R.DLL and VFP8T.DLL in the Windows\system32 directory kept the old version (2521) after I installed service pack 1 (which has version 3117), so that was the culprit.

Many thanks again. It would have taken a VERY LONG TIME to track down this one without help.

>>I just upgraded to FoxPro 8 (yes, yes, I know I am waaaay behind) and recompliled my code. It mostly runs OK when run inside the development environment, but when I run it outside FoxPro (like an EXE file run by clicking on it in the Windows Explorer) I get this error message 'Resource file version mismatch.' If I click OK, I get another error message which says, 'Visual FoxPro cannot start. Could not load resources...' and then it aborts.
