I'm having problems building a standalone .EXE and getting it to work.
Can someone please tell me what I need to do different?

The app is a simple visitor registration screen for a trade show booth. The project contains a database having two tables: Registration and Setup. The App also created a free table Afca_app.
There are two forms: Main and Registration. Main permits certain control functions, Registration contains a graphic and the text fields being filled in. There are no reports and no class libraries. The Code group contains a framework file Afca_app, a Main program, and a newid routine for primary keys, and SETOBJRF. The Other group includes the graphic file used on the registration form.

I have created a target directory under c:\program files\afca, and a distribution files directory C:\vfp distrib.

I have tried many variations on this process, but here is the simple one: With the project open, I choose Build. Select Win32 executable, recompile all files and display errors. For Save As, I select C:\Program Files\AFCA. No error messages appear.

I then use Tools, Wizards, Setup and follow the process to build the distribution disks. I specify only the VFP runtime components, direct it to the disk images directory, fill in the setup options, specify the default destination as C:\Program files\afca, and don't change the file settings. I note that the only thing in this list is the .EXE file - no tables are listed. Finish, and the files are built.

When I install the files on the target system, it won't run because it can't find the database tables.

If I copy the database tables into the target directory, then rebuild and install, I get an error box that the tables can't find the .dbc.

I guess I'm not getting the correct files into the target directory. I thought the Build EXE was supposed to take care of this. Which files do I need to locate and move to the target directory? Or do I need to copy the entire project directory structure into it?

Guidance appreciated....
