See My compiled application started, flashed briefly, and then quit; What happened? FAQ #7557

>I have Visual Studio 6.0 installed on my machine. It was installed when I bought it from a friend, and the only caveat is that I have no manuals. A neighbor of mine asked for some help to create an invoicing system for his landscaping business. Since I have VFP experience, I through something together in version 6.0. It works just fine in VFP, but when I create an EXE to run separately, since he doesn't have VFP, it just flashes up, then goes away. I do have the runtime files;
>VFP6RENU.DLL,
>VFP6RUN.EXE,
>VFP6R.DLL
