Marcia,

Thanks for your help. I'm still trying to solve the mystery.

Yes, but when I look at the other computer I find it's running VFP3.0 (which shouldn't make any difference since I'm installing an EXE) and the version of GRAPH5.EXE is older than the copy included in my setup. Maybe it's a version problem and the older GRAPH5 was not overwritten with the newer GRAPH5. I'll do some testing on that...

Uh, right. Thanks for reminding me, and that's fine. I don't want users to change the graph.
