Mark,

You really shouldn't just copy DLLs as Eugenijus is recommending.


You should install the VFP runtime engine on the machines that need it. The easiest way to do this is create a little dummy VFP project with a main.prg that just does MessageBox( "VFP Runtime installed" ), build an EXE and use the Setup Wizard to build the distribution files and run setup.exe on each machine.

>I am using a utility in work that a partner gave me, an executible called sav.exe. it is a grat zip and backup utility but althought it runs alright on my work machine on any other that does not have vfp installed on it it gives the error "Cannot Locate the Microsoft Visual Support Library"
>has anyone any ideas on how to get around this problem?
