>I have installed a VFP application on several computer in Egypt and whilst the setup etc runs smoothly, the program doesnt get beyond the starting line. Perhaps I have missed a file out of the setup tree? It does work fine on a workstation with VFP 6.0 installed. Any clues welcomed.

Are you running the setup wizard? and creating a setup.exe

that's by far the easiest way to distribute an application
There are a number of DLL's that need to be registered - it's all handled by the wizard.
