>>>>Just need someone to help a very braindead guy.....I built a EXE file in VFP 5.0, placed it on a network drive, made sure I included the VFP500.dll file in the network directory where the EXE resides and it runs just fine on my machine (which of course does have VFP 5.0 loaded), however when I try running the EXE on other users machines that do not have VFP 5.0, I get the following error: VFP500.dll is invalid or damaged. My users and I are running WIN95 on a Novell 4 network. Has anyone else had this problem? If so , Please Help!

News to me... I've tried this plenty of times and never been able to pull it off.
