>>I have an VFP 3.0 application I created on a shared drive on our network. I want to use the setup wizard to create the install files on the network. Since the forms, reports , tables, ect are already on the network drive, do they need to be included in the application/install files? My thought was to just include the kickoff.prg which sets the default to the network drive and runs the other forms, reports, ext from the network. When installing the application on an end-user's machine I don't want all the forms, reports, tables to be installed on their local drive since this will be a multi-user application. All I would want on their machine would be the run-time version and the kickoff.prg. How do I go about achiving this? Any help would be appreciated.
>>Thanks

Edward & Greg,
At the risk of starting an argument, you might NOT want to distribute the reports as part of your EXE but prefer to add them to the data files and EXE. That way a change in a report will not require a complete new EXE.

This is, of course, a matter of opinion. In some cases including reports in the EXE is required or highly desirable.
