Hi Paul,

The VFP500.DLL was installed on the \windows\system directory of the machine you installed from. Trying to copy that file corrupts it and the only way to put it on a new machine is to install it. One thing I have done for networked apps is to install the app to a network drive and then I also place a small setup file, created with the setup wizard, on the network which contains resource files and VFP500.DLL to be installed to each users machine as a "One-Time Resource Setup". Once this setup is run the user can run your app and also any new VFP app you may install.
