Hi Sergey,

Perhaps I wasn't as clear as I should have been. I am not sharing VFP8. My company has the required licenses to allow for multiusers and each of us has it installed locally. So that is not the issue.

What is the issue is the creation of a shortcut on a shared folder accessible by winXP and win2000 pc's.

When I create the shortcut with "c:\program files\microsoft visual foxpro 8\vfp8.exe" -cr:\config.fpw" as the target, the winXP machines can double click on the link and run using the specified config file. However, the win2000 users cannot. When I look at the shortcut from their machines, the target contains "c:\progra~1\micros~1\vfp8.exe" -cr:\config.fpw. And, as stated above, they have VFP8 installed on their local c: drives.

Therefore, my question remains if anyone knows of this behavior. There seems to be a problem with XP and win2000.
