Peter

Sure it is possible. In fact I run VFP itself from a memory stick, including Activex and other files.

I used an old program called Thinstall. They have since been bought over.

But there are others like molebox.

Basically you create a virtual application. This compiles all files into one EXE but loading is very fast. When you run it, it creates its own environment and cleans up after closing. Almost all "portable apps" that run from usb use this method or similar.

Search on google for "create portable apps" or "create virtual applications" and you will find much more info than I can give you including links to other software.
