>>The 'support library' referred to in the documentation used to be VFP300.esl, in VFP 3.0 which was the 'Extended Support Library'. This was discontinued for VFP5.0 where the ESL was subsituted for DLL's for higher performance gains. The ones you are looking for are VFP500.DLL, VFP5.DLL and VFP5.ENU. You should also include the type library, VFP5.TLB. Search for these files in thw Windows/System directory, and in the directory where VFP 5.0 is installed.

>Thanks,
The 128 files you're referring to most likely include your entire application. With the installation of the 4 files I had referred to in the same directory as your executable, or Windows\system directory, you will not get the error 'Can't find support library'. I really hope we are'nt speaking cross purposes!
