Hi Edward,

Thanks for the help about the file type I should distribute. About the Setup Wizard in NT, I have NT 3.51 with VFP5.0 on it, when came time to try the Setup Wizard everything went OK but when I wanted to install the distributed application on a Windows95 machine I received a "This setup is not intended for your version of Windows" message, even on my NT machine!!! Any idea? Could it be related to the Service Pack number installed on my NT machine?

Thanks again,
Yves
