>Yes Mike,
>You need runtime files also. Nearly all of them start with VFP*.* and in \windows\system directory. To get the whole list just create a simple exe (ie:one simple form on it only) and run the setup wizard. It will create a diskset for you and a report. You could find all necessary files there.

Cetin,

When you say 'run the setup wizard' I take it you mean the setup wizard from within VFP?

I have got the READ EVENTS statement in because I've made that mistake before!!!

Thanks for your help,

Mike.
