Bless you that sounds exactly like what I did. At first I couldn't find my app
since I left it on a home directory on the server but I rebuild the app and it
works on the original workstation as does the old app now that I have found it.
But is there any way to rreturn to just being able to run the compiled form?
And how do you compile an app so that it installs with the entire package
of components (foxpro library) it needs to run. While I'm at it what is the
difference between an app and an exe? Thanks a lot.Derek.
