I don't know that I exactly follow you here, but why not use a table for all your clients, their clinic number and licensed users. You can then scan the table, set these parameters wherever you set them [header file?], then build EXE by issuing BUILD EXE [OutputPath]+ "MYAPP" FROM MYAPP [RECOMPILE]. See VFP Help on BUILD EXE if needed.

Then the executable is compiled and I put it on CD for the user. Problem is that if I have just 1 or 2 clients I can manage this - but what if the number clients increase. I would just like to come up with and execuatble that can be applied to all users who are licensed (i.e. have a clinic number hardcoded in the program).
