Well Craig, thought you would like to know .....

The user friendliness of some messages ! What had happened is that our in-house standard form calls a debug form when specific types of errors occur, and that debug form had been accidentally moved out of our Forms directory. Instead of displaying a message to the effect that "Form so and so cannot be found" (as it does for report forms where it says "Report XXXX - Undefined"), the App builder was instead spewing out "Cannot update the cursor (Error 111)". Unbelievable !

============== Your original message follows ==================

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.
