Brenda, unless the client system already had the VFP runtime and any ActiveX components needed installed, this approach won't work. Copying files is not an adquate installation of a VFP application. Your best bet would be to fire an install (maybe a Setup Wizard install) that triggers the desired app as the post-setup executable.
