>just to comfirm, IF I use the SP3 or later technique, I have to distribute new copies of the 3 run time files with the new .exe ? ( And get them installed ?
If you don't distritubte SP3 runtime files, your users will not have access to the new features.
The distribution can be done by either a) copying the 2-3 required DLL files (vfp*.dll) - you need the third one only for ODBC-support, or b) creating a small installation program and including runtime support.
