Greeting,

Why not exclude the reports from the EXE. I am pretty sure this will solve your problem. But, you must include the FRX/FRT files with your EXE when you distribute the system. I do something similar. I created a REPTMAST.DBF. This contains the SQL code used to create the input for the report forms. I envision letting users modify this someday. One thing that I will do is create a new memo field which contains the original SQL stuff incase users really mess up. Well, I htwh. Steve.
