Hi George:

Thank you fro your kind response:

Yes, Sergey pointed me to this site and I copied the requeired files. The only thing that I have not done is register vfp8r.dll and vfp8t.dll and gdiplus.dll.

As in the past with VFP6 and VFP7, I merely place the runtime files in a directory that contains the executable. Has something changed with VFP8, in that my original strtegy is no longer viable?

Thanks again George.
