I'm starting to use Vista as development environment. One problem occurs
when I create an executable. When using XP i normally build the exe directly
to a folder under Program files, however Vista does not allow this. So
please suggest hos I can handle this.

Hi Zeke,

You're supposed to have you own stuff in Documents and Settings or in a
development folder far far away from Program Files.
SET DEFAULT TO C:\PROJECTS\ProjectX
You can use a ProjectHook class to automate the command so that any project
you create will switch default to its HomeDir.

disable uac
create a manifest for vfp9.exe to give it full rights
or
follow microsofts new guidelines -- which says not to use program files
directories for any dymaic data.

Right click on the shortcut for FoxPro and click on properties. Click
on the compatibility tab and put a select "Run this program as
administrator"

The one downside I see doing this is you don't find in development the
stuff that might not work because of UAC. The better option is to
build it to a different folder.

IMO, bad advice. UAC is there for a reason. The end users of the application
could be running with it on and turning it off on the development machine
could hide issues the end users will have.

I didn't mean to advise one over the other-- I was just tossing out ways to get
around it; which was the OP question
