Another couple things I have run into running foxpro dos on newer xp and vista machines: Sometimes I've had to create a batch file that exlicitly calls the extened memory version of foxpro or the runtime ie "foxr +x" "fox +x" and on machines with a lot of memory you need to edit config.fp and put a memlimit line in there so fox doesnt go eat up all the memory. When googling the memlimit syntax I ran across this page on the fox wiki that says everything I've said and then some :) http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~Fpd26OnWin2000
