If you're not using VFP 9 SP 2, you'll have some UI issues to deal with.

Dave covered many issues I've dealt with.

This isn't Windows 7 specific.

If you use a loader application that downloads updated EXE's to a local

workstation. You might run into trouble when a different user logs into

the machine and runs when an update is needed. The way to avoid this is to

create the folder where you copy the local EXE to giving it Modify access

to Authenticated Users, maybe Users.
