Hi Nelson,
Typically problems of this type are caused by the absence of controls or dlls on the client pc. If you have Visual Studio (6.0) there is a packaging utility that will pick up all of the controls and such you need and create an installation set for you. You can do disks, or a netsetup. In the absence of Studio, you can get a copy of InstallShield. The setup wizard in VFP will not necessarily get everything you want, especially if part of your app is not VFP. The others will include it.
Regards,
Jason
