James, If your VMware workstations are using NAT instead of Bridged for networking, I saw many problems on my Windows 7 Professional host and network traffic. My scenario: I have a VFP application on the host that connects to data on a network share (physical Win 2003 server in another room). Each time I worked in this VFP application, and had a VM workstation running Windows 7, which was set to use NAT, the VFP application would fail not being able to find CDX or FPT files associated to the DBF. Upon closing the Windows 7 guest, everything worked fine in the VFP application. Changed the VM to use bridged and now I can work in the VFP application without troubles. I recall Outlook had many problems finding the associated files it uses on the network as well.
