>We have a project .PJX, with the .DBC included in the project and compiling to exe, when we distribute the exe to a client, do we have to copy the .DBC physically onto the client pc or does the .dbc inherently already present inside exe ?
When I learned VFP, my teacher, Andrés Frank, explained that yes, the DBC can be within the executable. Any file within the executable is R/O, which may be both a blessing and a curse. I never tried this approach, and don't recommend it.
In general, any table that VFP can access directly can be placed within the executable. The files you can't place in the EXE include help files, since these are read by other programs - not by VFP.
