John - thanks - that is what I thought also. I am like you, I do not want to load both vfp7 and vfp6 runtimes on the same machine. I am going to try it at the clients site tomorrow and see if I can duplicate what you are doing.

Thanks again
Gaylen



>Actually I have many machines with only the VFP 7.0 runtime installed running VFP6 .exe's. I had tested before doing this and have had no problems. I did it because I wanted to make sure I did not have to install both the VFP 6.0 and 7.0 runtimes on new PC's while transitioning from 6 to 7.

>>>Yes! There has to be VFP6 runtimes installed or no dice. You get a little message box saying that it can't find the support libraries.

>>>>>>I need to know if I will have any problems running VFP6 generated exe's on a machine with only the VFP7 runtime. I want to slowly upgrade the client's computer with the VFP7 runtimes as I add new applications. A number of the older machines will have both VFP6 and VFP7. However,in some cases such as a new machines the only runtime will be VFP7. I would test it myself but my machines have both VFP6 and VFP7 runtime on them and I need to install today.
