Glen,
The EXE is starting with an environment totally different than your developer time mode. You should examine stuff like SET PATH etc.
>I am trying to take a VFP6 application to the EXE environment. I am having a terrible time. Although it runs very well in the development environment using an APP, I get errors about missing tables, missing indexes, forms that won't load etc.

>I have validated the database and done just about everything I know. Why is it so fragile in the EXE enviornment. What should I do to make sure it works that same way in EXE as in APP?
