>Just a quick question on MS VC++ in VS 6.0. When a DLL or EXE are compiled for distribution, do you require any runtime libraries for the target machine like you do with VFP or VB?

Any runtimes you may need should be included in the OS. If you're using MFC and didn't statically link the MFC DLLs into the binary, those should still be in the OS as well. I was looking for something that docs this, but I'm coming up empty.
