>>>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.

Brenda,

C++ does need some dll's (mfc42.dll for example) but they reside on allmost every PC around becourse microsoft uses them.

Shockwave flash development software can (i think) be found at the site from flashwhere (i think that's what they are called, but a searchengine will tell you the answer).

Kind Regards,
