>I have a large form with a map image on it. When the map is clicked, a messagege box opens and if the user response is 'Yes' a small circle is drawn at the coordinates of the click. All worked pretty good until I created the EXE. Now with every click of the mouse, the circles disappear.

Try using Shape objects rather than drawing right on the form. Drawings on the form can disappear for lots of reasons.
