Hi Kirk.

>After running the form in the IDE, it pops up the filter selector and works fine. But when I compile it into a exe, it pop's up the open file dialog box looking for sfutility.vcx.

I think this is coming from SFForm.Init, which instantiates SFUtility if it can find it. However, it's supposed to do nothing if it can't. Try commenting out that code and see if that resolves the problem.
