>I have found that the "commandclauses.file" property of the reportoupt listener class contains the development machine's full path reference to the frt and frx of the report that I am using in this example. Of course this file path is not on the deployment machine. If I create the folders and put the frx/frt files on the deployment box the exe performs correctly. The frx is included in the project when the exe is built.

If you open included report as a table in EXE, DBF() will return location of the report on development machine. I guess that what you're seeing. I'm not sure that it 's the cause of the problem. Did you try to rename development directory with report on your PC and run EXE?
