>In order to run a VFP 3x app on Windows 3.11 Win32s must be installed on the client machine. Setup wizard does this automatically, so I would advise sticking with this tool. Setup wizard doesn't really care what files of yours are installed per se. Just place your EXE and data files in a directory structure and point the wizard at that. It isn't neccesaruy to distribute any files besides these. As a rule of thumb, take a look at your project - any file that isn't marked for exclusioon (with the circle/slash) to the left) is built into the exe.

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for the input. We had a problem that the application wasn't able to find the compiled form even though it was compiled into an .exe and as it turned out I had designed the form under windows95 and exceeded 8 characters which windows 3.1 didn't handle at all and wasn't able to find the form in the .exe.... once we changed that it executed properly and we're away the races. Other problems stemed from VFP 3.0 bugs which VFP 3.0b should address.

Again, thanks


Don
