Thank you for the quick response... Yes I have installers for both VFP6 and VFP9 (thank you Woodie) Turns out I needed to install the VFP9 runtimes, right as rain! As an aside, I have yet another "report
shell"
application that was running just fine prior to installing the runtimes. Go figure...
Thanks again, Desmond
Desmond,
I wrote a CMD file to search and display the versions of all the VFP9 runtime DLLS. We used to use it frequently with customers. Here is a link to the file, it doesn't paste well due to line wrapping.

On the fifth line, you can adjust the vfp9*.dll to just vfp*.dll to get all runtimes.
A quick explanation of the inner workings is: It creates a VBS file, then the FOR loop searches the drive and runs the VBS file for each file matching found. The VBS file echoes the filename, location, and version to the command window Then the VBS file is removed. Then the window pauses, allowing one to just dbl-click the CMD file.
