When you compile and build your project not all the files are included in the executable file. You can see that in the Project Menu| Project Information, or somewhat like that. My Vfp is in Spanish. Also you can right click one of the Project Items like a Form o Report en Select the "Include " item of the short cut menu.

Anyway, the database files are not included in the project the most of the times, because as you know, they're dynamic files.

What you have to do is to be very carefull when you use file paths in your code. Set everything to work in the current path of the executable file.

All the file you do not include in the build process must be distribuited with your application.
