>>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.

This is just an FYI thing, but the only difference between an .app and .exe file (in FoxPro) is that the .app lacks the header information needed to load it. However, if an FP executable is already running, it doesn't need that information. You end up saving a few bytes of disk space, and whatever the initialization period would normally be required. Since you already have VFP fired up and running, it would mean better start up times, regardless of whether or not you copied the file over.

Of course, there's going to be some additional resources used that might otherwise be available. However, on balance, I'd say that the benefits outweigh the liabilities.
