This may seem trivial, but did you select the start.prg file as the
root  when you did the compile and build executable? I speak from
experience.

Bob,

Thanks for the encouragement!  This app has been deployed to over 50
different sites.  I only wish that that were the problem. :(  It is
the behavior in NT Workstation at startup that puzzles me... It runs
fine at other NT Server and NT Workstation deployments...

Can you send me just the EXE, so that I can try it on my NT4 to see if I 
can reproduce the message?

Hello,

First, allow me to thank Bob Newman and Romain Strieff for their
excellent troubleshooting suggestions and prompt assistance.  Next,
the actual resolution follows...

My client deployed my application on their InstallShield 5 diskettes
(Vol 6 1997) that also included their app.  The deployment diskettes
installed on the customer's NT 4 WorkStation machine without any error
or warning messages.  In fact, the directories and key files looked
OK.  Recently my client sent their customer a new set of the same
deployment diskettes and the difficulty just "went away".  The
client's customer deployed all files to the same directories.
Apparently, the original deploy diskettes sets did not detect a subtle
error at install time.  This was a tough one to figure out.  I hope
this helps someone else...I guess the lesson is don't trust the deploy
diskettes just because they deployed...

Thanks again for all your help.
