Sergey,

Thanks. Reading through this site let me know that I either have to have a separate set of files in each APP folder or "register" a couple of the DLL's so the system knows where to find them.

>I have a client that does not want me to put any of the VFP runtime file in the \WINDOWS\SYTEM32 folder. This no problem because I can obviously just drop them into the root directory of the app but I was wondering; can you use one set of DLL's with muliple apps in differnt subfolders? For instance, with a directory structure like the following:
>
>\VfpApps
>\VfpApps\App1
>\VfpApps\App2
>\VfpApps\App3
>\VfpApps\App4
>\VfpApps\SystemFiles
>
>Is there anyway to place one set of runtime DLL's in the "\VfpApps\SystemFiles" folder and have the EXE's in the App1, App2, etc. folders reference that location. I've tried numerous things but I can't seem to get this to work. It, of course, works if I put a separate set of DLL's in each of the "app" folders.
