>>I'm sorry Dragan, that isn't what I meant. The implication was that his clients were going to see the VFP9SP2 splash screen. I wondered therefore if this was a case of installing the development environment on end user machines rather than the runtime: clearly not.

Unfortunately. I don't mind a splash screen that does not stop the loading of an app, but splash screens that pause processing - even for a few seconds - to show some pretty picture, etc. should be outlawed. I use a form that comes up after the app is loaded. It always displays when no other form is open, but hides itself when any other form is open. It has the name of the app, my company logo, logged in user name, etc. It doesn't stop processing and doesn't clutter the screen when other forms are open.
