>> afraid not... this commercial app I was my first Crystal Project and we're using Crystal for charting so HTML export deal didnt real do anything for us.<<

My main focus at first was charting as well, but sometimes we carried away. I might try "moving dlls around" <g> to see if I can get to the bottom of it. As long as my relatively simple (displaywise) charts go up on client workstations via my instal, I can move forward. I am still having some problems with regsvr32 not "shelling from fox correctly". I may have to sludge through the WINAPI32 CreateProcess() again.

You wouldn't happen to know if the REGSVR32 has caused any problems launching from VFP Run!

Thanks again for your help.
