>>Hi Alex,

>>Thanks for the thoughts. The problem I face is that many of my users do not have administrative privileges on their machines, so they cannot install the .Net framework, or anything else themselves. The beauty of VFP is that absolutely no installation is required, no license is required, and the application runs on the user's computer, with the server being only a file server as opposed to a web-based application where the browser has to be compatable and server has to do some work as well. I am looking for something as easy to deploy as a vanilla VFP applciation.

I can copy my VFP app to a network shared folder with the VFP dlls all in a single folder. Then any user can run that VFP exe from their workstations without installing run-time dlls or doing any kind of dll registration at all on the local workstation (except non-VFP, 3rd party dll/ocx that we use).
