Ok,, understood, but couldn't you simply fix the glitch and re-burn the = EXE? I need some further info (if and when you have time). Can I have your permission to email you privately? No sense to busy-up = this list with a subject that no one is interested in. Peter C. Stuart, Florida ? Kp@xxxxxxxx -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- ICQ =3D 412633 -----Original Message----- It was expensive. I never used the 97 version, I have the 2000 version. Creating a runtime database is pretty straight forward. When the runtime = is created all the code is locked, not even the creator can get to it, the = same with the database itself. The exe that is distributed needs to be glitch free, because you can't go back and fix it. =20 ************************************************************* PLEASE READ!!!!
