It's hard to see clearly with your head in the clouds...

Which cloud? I'm guessing multiple WIndows X VMs hosted on...

something. Azure? Amazon? Hosted server? What brand/version of all?

Which VFP? Reports using VFP9 or VFP8 compatibility? New Report

listeners or old "classic" FRXs?

How was VFP installed? Are all the runtimes the same version? Are they

patched up to Sedna + service packs?

Install vFoxRun if you haven't already. This is a *GREAT* tool for

debugging (Thanks, Ed!) Then you can test things like VERSION(), and

REPORT FORM right from the commandline, in your runtime environment.

One owner of our vertical-niche app runs virtualized, using RDP and TS

to run multiple workstations on a hosted WInServer2008. There are lots

of kinks with TMPFILES and sharing...

What I'm seeing in the Windows application log when this happens are mainly C6 errors. The Google gave me some recommendations about setting the EXE and the runtime DLLs read-only but I'm hoping that out there in Profox land this might ring some bells.
