>I am new in VFP and not any idea how can make distributed application i try my best but no result also having some error please help me how can i do my work continue please in detail or any link (Information Related about it)

I think the example provided by Benn is quite complete, as far as the coding is concerned.

Apart from that, you can only create an executable (EXE) if you create a project first. In the project, you mark the starting point of your program (usually a program, such as Main.prg - but it might also be a form, or a menu) as the main file.

Then, the user needs some support files, such as DLLs. You need to create the distribution disk, which includes these files, and does a few other things. Up to Visual FoxPro 6, you use the Setup Wizard to do this. In later versions, you would use InstallShield Express, which is also included on the CDs - but I never tried it myself.

If you got an error similar to "Support library not found", then this is precisely the problem - that you copied the EXE file directly, without installing the VFP runtime support (the required DLL files).
