Not a FoxPro Program

[LorenC]

On startup of my foxpro exe file, the customer gets an Error prompt stating that the program is not a foxpro program and then within 45 to 60 seconds, kills the program and my customer is back to the desktop.

He used my program last year without a problem.

What's different ?
I used Refox MMII. I have about 200 customers using this version without difficulty.

I sent my customer a version without Refox and he still has the problem where he no longer gets the error but the program vanishes in about 45/60 seconds.

Any ideas ?

I would suggest to do a virus scan.

I would suggest doing a reinstall

Loren,
If Mike and Slighthaze's suggestion don't work, I'd check the VFP runtimes. I've seen instances where installs of other programs have overwritten these files with earlier versions. e.g. I was using VFP 6.0 SP5 and the user installed a "new" app that used the VFP 6.0 SP1 runtimes. All the new features and fixes introduced in SP3 were no longer recognized and caused my application to fail. Note: The 6.0 SP5 runtimes worked perfectly fine with the 6.0 SP1 app!

Any ActiveX, COM controls you use could also have a corruption / versioning problem.
