Hi Al, thanks for answering.

>Sounds like either the form is not actually present in the .EXE,

You mean it is possible tht an included form is not included in exe when you build? As I mentioned the form is included in the project.

I guess that is my question, in a different form. The form daoes reside in the same directory with the exe, but why would anything search for the form?
