I was trying to find out someone who could guide one of my customers on their Foxpro Usage. Is there materials available on the internet that could help handle their environment with more ease.

Kindly let me know if you could shed some light.

As you know, the moniker "application" (which is the same as the _VFP objectreference) is referring to the COM-object side of VFP (This means: everytime you're acccessing _VFP, you're talking with VFP from the outside.) But for registering COM-objects you have to be an administrator, thus that's why the initial first start of VFP has to be in Admin mode. In WinXP most users have been administrators by default, thus you didn't noticed that requirement, but with the now enforced security levels of Vista and Win7, you need to explicitely switch the app into admin-rights.

Apparently once you run as an administrator the problem disappears even for the non-administrators. I may have run as an administrator in my initial testing. If this is the case it is a simple workaround. No, this is strictly a registry problem. Apparently once you run as an administrator the problem disappears even for the non-administrators.

The only think I can think is that it was trying to create a foxuser.dbf file in a place win7 doesn't want you to write to. <br /><br />Not sure why you couldn't duplicate it though. Strange.
