>You're right to try and get your boss to commit to the upgrade but fox 2.6 will run on NT. I'd look at some other issues if you still have to run it in that environment. Upgrade isn't the quick answer. -- Sarah

Sarah,

Thanks for the comment. Our network admin people still don't have that much experience installing WinNT. If fact, WinNT 4 was installed on my computer this afternoon - so they are still getting the kinks out.

Do you know of any reason why my FPW26 would behave the way it did? I know FPW26 will run on WinNT. Our state office in Hawaii is running our EIS on a WinNT.

Thanks again,

Dan
