Hi Dan,
Do you know what version of Foxpro the program was written in? There are issues with running DOS programs under XP; these have nothing to do with Foxpro.
When you say that the program didn't work, what exactly happened? Did it fail to load? Was there an error message?

i have an accounting software that work under foxbase program. in windows 98 system, the software work well, but when i installed it in windows xp system, it did't work.
FoxBase? Wow! It's kinda antique, y'know...![[smile]](/data/assets/smilies/smile.gif "[smile] [smile]")
Try to recompile it in VFP ver. 6.0 or later, if you have the source code.
Regards,
Ilya

Dan,
Sorry, I didn't notice you said Foxbase.
I guess you need to make some settings in XP to let it run a DOS app. Some sort of compatibility mode. Not sure about that, as I don't use XP.
If that doesn't work, Ilya's suggestion is good ... get hold of Visual Foxpro and re-compile. But you might need to change some of the code.
