You need to create a distribution version of your product, to do this you will need the VFP runtimes, data and the exe (and any other specific components you may need). It doesnt matter what media type its stored on CD/Floppy/ install directory on a server.

Depending on how your app works you have a couple of choices on distribution.
Generally I would recomnmend having an install program to install and configure your app. However, you could just copy the contents on the install CD onto the clients machine, this approach really relies on your app being clever enough to sort out pathing information.

>>I don't understand your question, but my message is clear: the EXE and the data sre two COMPLETELY independent things, the data does NOT belong to the project, and thus shall not be in the EXE. But both must reside on the CD you create. Both how to get the data files, the EXE, runtime files and other files from your machine to the installation CD, and how to create the installation itself, is described in help. Creating an installation CD the first time is a two-three day trial-and-error process, but you really MUST read the documentation carefully to understand how to do it, and why you must do it that way.
