>>>>I have a system that is written in Visual Foxpro 5.0 and I am ready to set up the users PC's with this application. In our environment here, it is strongly requested to run everything from the Server. In previous versions of Fox, I could put the ESL file with the Executable and other tables, etc, and run the executable without installing anything on the users PC if it was on a Win 95 PC.

I'm a little baffled as to why this won't run. According to Fox documentation, it should work, unless I missed something.

Now that you mention it, I recall this happening in the past as well. I'll do some serious testing on this to make sure. It's not a big deal to me if I do use the setup wizard, but I was hoping to simplify things if at all possible. I actually have one of the users PC's in my office, so I can beat it up pretty good. But, of course, the user always finds a way...

Thanks for the help.
