Look into your Windows registry.

Under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
Microsoft
Windows
CurrentVersion
MS-DOSOptions
Mouse

See if there is an entry pointing to the appropriate Mouse driver.

For example - on my own Win 2000 system there are 2 entries:
Autoexec.bat=C:\Logitech\MouseWare\mouse.exe
Flags = 67 (0x00000043)

Also make certain that you have the appropriate DOS Mouse driver -- MOUSE.EXE (or MOUSE.COM) on your system.
Alternatively - You can also load this DOS Mouse driver via the appropriate line within your %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT file which should be run automatically upon launching your DOS application.

Good Luck,

Wow, it's a lot simpler to just make sure the Quick Edit box in the Properties Option tab is unchecked.

rgbean and others - THANK YOU!!

But be sure to change the properties of the open Foxpro window, not the shortcut or direct file. I never got the Quick Edit button on just straight properties and thus I relearned the keyboard.
