You know what this forum needs in addition to the Stars is a Dunce Cap or some way of taking a star from someone...like me, don't know where I got that in my head (thought I had read it somewhere but obviously it was something about one of the other msvc dll files. Who knows, but thank you to Mike and Rick for avoiding any confusion I may have caused for lilys.
I have finally come across where I got the idea that msvcr70.dll is not required sometimes:
See the VFP Helpfile under BUILD EXE command
"...An executable file created with BUILD EXE requires two support files: Vfp7r.dll and Vfp7renu.dll (enu denotes the English version)...."
There is no mention of the msvcr70.dll...given what that dll contains I would think that it is required at all times now, but why does the help file make no mention of it when talking about what is needed to run a VFP exe?

Yeah, it just seems really strange that the VFP 7 helpfile makes no mention of this very needed dll in it's section regarding building an Exe. I'm just lucky that I have always included it just to be safe. As you can see from my ealier post in this thread I was under the impression that it was optional depending on what kind of code your application actually executed. The line in the helpfile should say that it requires 3 support files at the very least...and they should also be much more clear on the files needed if you are going to distribute HTML Help with your application to...I guess if a newbie does enough digging on the MSDN and with Google they can figure it out, but why does MS make it so hard?

I have a fresh SP'ed win2k no application installs and found msvcrt.dll but no msvcr70.dll I always had the impression by the name "MicroSoft Visual C Runtime" and "C Runtime ver 7.0" like, Slighthaze thought I only needed to include when distributing w/ocx's and other libs that required C Runtimes. However like Mike I have always included it for good measure.
