Hi Justin

Firstly make sure that you do not have the recompile project option flagged or that you are not using the keyword Recompile.

Secondly, to clear up my confusuion, are the VCX being built into the EXE(s)? If you are, this shouldn't cause a problem as the other systems will use the VCX that is being built inside them. However, if you are not including the VCX, then how can it be re-compiled? You will jst get an error message during the build that the VCX can not be found and you can ignore it. I am little bit at a loss to understanding the exact problem.
