Hi Robert -

I read this article and am unclear as to whether or not this would work in my case. Would I need my EXE to be running NT, or could I just set it up using NT? I have an NT machine, but my users are on W95 laptops. I'm thinking this isn't going to work with W95. What do you think?

If this is a dead end, is there any way I could embed the EXE into a VFP table, and then retrieve it out within my program when I am ready to use it? My client DOES NOT want this EXE sitting by itself on the hard drive. I am stumped...

TIA!
ellen

>Are you using NT? - If so, I believe you can save to a non-default stream within the (EXE) file (using colon notation) which may work. Think I saw this in the MSJ October / November but I'm at home now and haven't the references...
