>2 - ran it from another machine, it started with no problem and seemed to run ok, but when i exited the program i received the following message -- Microsfot Visual Foxpro - Fatal error: Exception Code = C0000005.

Does the machine have DCOM installed? If not, you will need to install it from MS web site.

>3 - ran it from a 3rd machine and the program did not start at all received the following message -- A required .dll file, mscvrt.dll, was not found.

Did you used the Setup Wizard?
