I still don't have RDT access to the customer server but I know that your suggestion will work very well. I tried it last night on my wife's computer (where VFP was never installed). I copied VFP9.EXE and VFP9Enu.dll to her drive. It works very well; now I will carry VFP on a memory stick which will come very handy. Thank you.
