>I am preparing an application for the first time to be distributed to other users. I have compiled the app to an .exe and the required vfp runtime dll's are in the home folder as are the other required files designated in the dev guide. At startup, I get the message "Cannot find Metadata.dbf" and the app closes down. Putting this table in the home folder does not resolve the problem, although I thought it is only required for design time. I'm using mm version 6.2. Any help is appreciated.

Is your Metatada.dbf included into the project? Also make sure, that you don't have debug.txt file in that folder.
