For now - I did as you suggested - and Deleted those DOS records this
morning - and had my guy send it over to them.  And, I may do the same
thing again in the near future for other report forms that have this
problem when the problem is reported by other customers.

And - FYI - there are very FEW reports that are still of the old FRM
type file format - vs. FRX. 

And - if you ARE WRONG - then I will not be the last one to Laugh!

I believe it goes back to FP's roots as a true multi-platform
environment. The fact that it shows up in the runtime environment is
probably an unintended consequence. If your client is willing, you could
try adding _CONVERTER="" to your config file and see if the designer
still comes up. Otherwise, I think you'll have to rip out the DOS
records from all your reports in order to avoid this behavior.

I could be wrong, of course... <vbg>

Subject: RE: Strange Reporting Problem with Clients

Richard,

I've never heard of that Var before, so, I looked in the online help to
see what it was about. And it makes sense. Although, not sure of how
that would impact the situation - since its at the client site that this
problem happens - and they are running a VFP Dev Env - just running the
VFP DLL's and our EXE file. FYI - the content of that Var on my system
here is:
        C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT VISUAL FOXPRO 7\CONVERT.APP

-K-
