ID: Q126873
The information in this article applies to:
An .EXE file named DIALOG.EXE that was built with the FoxPro for Windows Distribution Kit (DK) will not run when Microsoft Office Manager (MOM) 4.2 is installed. When the executable DIALOG.EXE is executed, there are no error messages or other signs of activity from the machine.
Rename or rebuild the DIALOG.EXE application.
NOTE: DIALOG.EXE runs when executed from the development version of FoxPro using the DO command.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
The steps below assume Microsoft Office Manager 4.2 is installed on the system.
