>I am trying to distribute my app using VFP 9 SP2.

>As a test I put the EXE and the runtimes in a directory (say XxxDemo) on my development machine. Everything is fine until I try to run a report that uses *:EFFECTS FORECOLOR. Reports that do not use the Report Listener work just fine when run from the XxxDemo folder. The reports that use the Report Listener don't run when the EXE is in the XxxDemo folder with the Runtimes. If I remove the Runtimes from the XxxDemo (they are still in the Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VFP folder 'cause this is my development machine), my Report Listener reports now run without issue.

>The Runtimes I am planning to distribute (and are therefore in XxxDemo) are GDIPlus.dll, msvcr71.dll, vfp9r.dll, vfp9REnu.dll and vfp9t.dll. The vfp*.dlls are all dated 10/15/07.
