>>A VFP app creates backups of directories listed in a table. It is normally run by issuing a command from Start>Run like "ZipAll c:\Zips]20090101". The app receives the parameter and calls a form which opens the table and creates the backups using pkzipc.

Very good tip. When I tried to run on the server which does not have VFP installed I got a reasonable message saying that run time files were not available. So I copied them to app directory and now it runs in both computers!

Thank you,
