>I think what Nick was saying was to copy an .app file locally and run it. A VFP (or for that matter FPW/FPD) .exe can execute .app files without VFP itself being present. BTW, the .app file will have access to any contained in the .exe via dynamic linking.

Ah, didn't know that...haven't used .apps since 2.x...but then, why use .app instead of .exe? You can't use the RUN command with an .app, can you?
