Like Terry said, it sounds like the flash and go app may be missing a read events. Check out READ Events and CLEAR EVENTS in help. The foxuser.dbf and foxuser.fpt are "resource files" . If you create a config.fpw file with RESOURCE = OFF in your app directory it will set resource off and not create these 2 files. The setup.exe created contains the runtime support library which is pretty large.
