Re: Windows Keep Closing

Both programs on the laptop do the same thing - closing windows. When you
mention "installsheild express" I take iy you mean when I installed FoxPro to
begin with (not my own programs). If so, yes. I just used all the defaults.
I'll tell you, it's driving me mad!

Ok, so this is not VFP that is not working but rather a program that you
wrote in VFP? Did you use the installsheild express that came with VFP
to create the install? I find I have the best luck using that if I get
the settings right because all the right things get installed. It
sounds like something IS installed on one machine and is NOT installed
on the other.

Same program (same disk even). I once did a complete un-install, rebooted,
then installed it again, but the problem still continued. I went through all
the Tools / Options looking for soe kind of setting that needed changing, but
couldn't find one. Come to think of it, I have two different programs I
created using VFP 9 and, when I get back home, I'm going to see if the first
one does the same thing. If not, then I can narrow it down to the program.
I'll let you know tomorrow.

Thanks Cy.

What do you mean by "similar version"? Sounds like maybe a bad install?
What version of windows on the laptop and what version on the pc at
work? Also did you install SP1 in both places? I find that VFP 9 works
the same on my work pc and my laptop. With the exception of visual
issues, it works the same on Vista as on XP or 2000 as well.

VFP 9.0 works great on my pc at work, but when I installed a similar version
on my laptop, every time I click a different window the previous one closes.
This is extremely frustrsting, especially when I execute a "Find" in, say the
init of a form. The form closes when the "Find" window shows up.

Do I have a setting wrong or something?

Thanks
