Craig,

The application I am building is just one form which is a specialised
calculator, nothing else. No tables and databases are used, simply the
user's input and a result is returned on the display. All that is used
outside of the coding of some methods is three or four of our in-house
user-written functions (located on a network drive). Additionally, all the
textboxes used are derived from our in-house textbox class.

Local VFP drive on workstation is D:\Visual FoxPro 5.0

On network drive path to functions and class libraries are :

L:\Foxlib.LSM\Classes
L:\Foxlib.LSM\UDFS\Visual.Fox

Sounds like you included the DBFs in the EXE when you build it. Go back into the project and
make sure the dbfs, dbc, etc are excluded.
