Laurie, It sounds like an "on demand backup" or anti-virus program is preventing opening the compiled APP to turn it into an EXE. Kurt, The only time I've needed to compile with Administrative rights in VFP 7 is when there is a class with OlePublic set. Right click the project, select Project Info, then the Servers tab. If that tab shows information you have a class flagged as OlePublic. You have COM access in to the application.
