I want to send the boss an update of my work. How does one go about compiling a mfc project so that the .exe can be run on any machine? I'm running VC++6 Professional edition on Win2K. thanks, kash

There's no mention of this in Help. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks Kash

I tried this, but when the program executes, it returns error message saying missing dll files.

Go to your project settings. Select "Use MFC in a static library". Rebuild all. Your exe will be bigger, but you won't need to include the mfc dll's. ----------------------- New and improved: kwakkelflap.com My first CP article: Pseudoregisters[^] "When I hear of Schrödinger's cat, I reach for my gun." - Stephen Hawking

If the DLLs are named things like MFCxxxD.DLL, then you have not built a release version, but a debug version. In the "Build/Set Active Configuration", you should probably have "proj - Win32 Debug" and "proj - Win32 Release", it's the release you should select, then do a Rebuild All. You can also use the Depends tool to see what DLLs your exe needs. It's possible that there is no MFC release runtime on the other machine, but unlikely.
