>>Want to send an .exe file as a email attachment. Want the receiver to only have to click on the .exe and the rest is history. The card would display in a window, play some music, then after a period of time (or clicking on the front page graphic), the card would open and show the message in the card. I have all the graphics and the music, that is not the problem. It is the .exe thing that has got me. I have been in the corporate world for too long. How can I do this with a single .exe. Obviously I want to make as small a footprint as possible on the machine that receives my card. Prefer on to copy DLL or create a directory, etc. Just am not thinking right on this subject. Need some help.

>>Can I do this with Visual FoxPro? I could make a .html file, but then would need all the .jpg files also and how would i get the .html launched? I want the receiver to only have to click on the .exe and the rest is history.

>Not with vfp if you don't want a runtime to go with your card. Other options? maybe a small C++ program or maybe a shockwave flash.

I have done some C++ so that is an option. C++ does not need any runtime DLLs? I am intrigued by your suggestion of using a shockwave flash. What software would I need to develop a shockwave flash?
