>>No necessarily. Only if you (a) are making use of anything new in SP1 or (b) you are depending on something that was fixed in SP1 iro runtime. Its safest to do so but depends on what you are doing with SP1.

Hi Hilmar. I have tested this. Installed VFP8 SP1 on a machine. Re-compiled the exe. Copied exe to another machine. Ran the exe no problem at all. Obviously if I change the program to use anthing in SP1 not found / supported in previous VFP8 then I would have a problem. Also, one needs to test this but I was faced with the same problem - I wanted the design time fixes that SP1 had but could not handle, at that moment in time, updating 3000+ sites with the new dll's. So, bottom line, Roy should try it and test it out. User beware :)
