>This exe was already in service on the network. The necessary run-time files are installed on the workstations. The exe works fine for the users on the network but as for the workstations of the programmers it generates this error and we're suppose to have all the run-time libraries needed to test the exe. I compile it into an *.app and it works fine but as an exe it gives me these two messages and will not activate the exe.

Nina;

Does each workstation have VFP installed or is it on a server mapped to the workstations?

Check which version of the run times are installed on the server and on your machines. Sounds like something is out of sync on the workstation side.
