Thanks Craig, I'll give that a try.

>During development you can Set Classlib To in your main prg and hardwire it. Something like SET CLASSLIB TO (HOME(1)+'FFC/_gdiplus.vcx'), and as far as ditribution... just compile _gdiplus.vcx into your project and use the Set Classlib To _gdiplus.vcx. Your source can tell which one it should do to, if nothing else check that _vfp.startmode. If _vfp.startmode = 0 then you are in development, otherwise you are in production.

>>I'm working on my first application using the new report features of VFP 9. The report preview generates an error that indicates it cannot find _gdiplus.vcx in the folder c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\vfp\ffc\. Of course this is where it is on my development machine but I suspect not where it should be on the users machine. So I tried placing it in the application directory and in the common files directory but neither works. Apparently the call to the file is hard wired somewhere in the new report listeners.
