I asume you've build an executable of the form. If you've got the debuginfo included you can do the following.

1. Start vfp
2. CD YourProgramDir
3. ON KEY LABEL F11 USE Myform.scx
4. ON KEY LABEL F12 COPY TO MyCopyOfMyForm.scx
5. DO MyExecutable
6. Press F11 and F12

You'll have a copy of the form embedded in your exe.
