Hi Erik,

I missed this simple solution, thanks :). Now I find that unless LaserForms is installed I am unable to compile an EXE, I guess this is due to the early binding that goes on. While not that big a problem in this case, I can envisage a point where there are lots of interfaces implemented in a VFP 7 application and you have to install lots of 3rd party software simply to compile it. This situation will be a problem for all developers. Is there another simple solution to this?

Thanks again Erik for your help.

Lloyd.
