Hi Paul ---

Are both VFP5 and VFP5 SP3 installed at the same time at the client machine? Try this: Create Setup disks from your machine and have her run full Setup and not just copy an EXE over. This may correct some obscure DLL stuff.

>On my home workstation, I have vfp5.0 with sp3. I created the executable on my home workstation. I can run both the executable and the application from source code with no problems. I have a win95 machine at home.

>On the client machine, she has vfp5.0 with sp3 on a winnt workstation. She has the executable created on my home machine. She can use vfp5.0. The gets the error message when she tries the executable.
