I guess I'm not seeing how using WSH is better way to load an application EXE than just using Foxpro code itself compiled in it's own EXE. How do I ensure WSH is installed on all the hundreds of PCs involved in an update? Do I need to include code that installs WSH? How does the VBS file execute? Is it automatically done when it is first detected on the hard drive of the local machine? Do you realize now how much I don't know about this?

Ed,

Do I detect sarcasm?

I read your post to me and knowing that the place I'm at (state government) won't spring for a site version of Stonefield, was trying to find the best way to use what you said. I found George's FAQ regarding WSH and was trying to understand how to implement this.

Sorry Ed, we're not all Yale doctors of computer science...

If I missed the spirit of your post(s) I apologize.
