>Is it possible to run a .exe compiled under VFP5.0a on a PC with VFP5.0?
Sure, you can, I've got an app in widepread use done that way, it's too much trouble to run new setups all over my agency for this small application, and no problems have been reported in a year or so of use. However, since the vfp dlls are a little bit different, I would still recommend doing a new setup...
