>I have compiled a VFP 5.0 program into an exe. When I tested the exe on another computer, it automatically invokes the file open dialog box prompting me for the location of the .dbf files. These files have been included in my project. Is there a way to have this .exe automatically open up all the tables?

Are you sure these .dbf files are really included in the project. They could be listed in the project, but have the status of excluded.
