>Database and table files (including memo and indexes) go to server and executable with run-time (installation package) is installed locally. You need in source files (vcx/scx/frx) to build executable only, i.e. you don't distribute them. Usually, you build executable from project manager.

ed,
ok, i'm done (although i can see i'll never really be done). i've created my executable and it works fine accessing/updating remote table data. now i'm ready to install the executable on a departmental pc. in your memo above you mention that i need to install the executible with the run-time installation package. does this mean i need to install VFP on this pc or a portion of it? what is exactly included in the executible? now, whenever i need to make a change to a form or table i need to rebuild and then reinstall the executable? sorry for all these 'basic' questions.
