Russ,

The only cause of random GPF-type instability errors in FF!, that I know of, was due to the use of a Windows API call when FF! loads to determine if Excel is registered on the system. Depending on whether or not Excel was found would determine if Excel output options were enabled or disabled. This only happened on a few systems, but in any event, we added a memory variable, m.pg_look4excel, to version 3.0+ that would allow developers to disable the Excel search, which is really not that essential, since the worse thing that happens to a user who trys to output to Excel, if they don't have Excel, is a message stating that output to Excel could not be completed.

Therefore, I would upgrade to 3.0+, and set m.pg_look4excel to false. This can be done in FF!'s config file FFCONFIG.PRG, so no recompiliation of the FF! APP is necessary.
