Thanks Craig for the suggestion. This sounds like a nice way to go. How do I record limit my tables? Does VFP provide for that? I can't find any documentation in the help text.

Do you know of any limitations on running an application off of a CD. I understand that probably will have to set up a temporary directory on the hard drive(eg an installation), but where will the VFP dll reside? Does that need to be installed as well?

Thanks again for your suggestions.
Mike
