>>I am developing a VFP executable that I am putting on a network. The people who are using the executable have Word on their computer but not VFP. When they run the VFP executable it creates a database that I am merging with MS Word. Since they do not have OLE setup for Foxpro I cannot do the Word merge. What do I need to do to setup OLE on their PC so they can recognize Foxpro databases?

I click on the button for the choices and on their PC Foxpro Database does not come up. But on my PC (that has Foxpro installed) it does. Why would that be?

I see. Did you choose necessary ODBC drivers (Visual fox and fp 2.x) in step 2 of setup wizard ?
