>>Does anyone use a compression software that compresses a VFP exe file? I've tried PKZIP & WinZip & they don't compress the exe. I've made changes to an already installed app & just need to send the new exe to my client. They don't have a modem so it needs to be a disk install.

If you have the built-in VFP "encryption" turned on in the .EXE, it's not compressible (except maybe for a fraction of a percent).
