Hi Elyse.

>My question is once my EXE is distributed and running on a user's machine, is there a way in code to determine whether a particular table had been included in the EXE or it has a physical presence on the user's machine.

FILE('filename') will return .T. for the file because it looks in the EXE but ADIR(laFiles, 'filename') will return 0 because it looks on the drive.
