>The last time I had to create an executable for commercial distribution, I was using VFP 6 and the rules were different. I haven't been asked to create another since then, but I understand that I need an additional application outside of VFP now in order to do so. Could someone tell me what tools I need to acquire, and perhaps a quick overview of the procedure and cost?

You should use InstallShield which should be installed separately, but it is part of VFP installation (you may want to check your installation disk if you didn't install it originally). The VFP Help file should guide you through installation process.
