Excutable

[Louis]

Hello,

I have just created an geography application that is around 500K. I will
like to distribute it to some people who don't have VFP. Is there a way I
could create an executable where they don't need to have the large VFP dlls.

In other words I don't want to distribute a bunch of large files. Is there
a way to keep it small?

Thanks

Louis

No. You need to have the VFP runtime files in order to execute your
application.

Thanks Fred, I just wanted to verify that.

One thing that might help make your EXE smaller--go to the Project Info
screen and make sure you don't have the "Debug info" checkbox checked.
