Yes. Thus far, I have sent it to three people, and it didn't work for any of them. They all have the same version of the flash player also. mike c

Thanks for the info. This is actually exactly how I have my solution set up, and as you point out, it creates multiple dlls and and EXE. I was trying to find a way to then include all of those in one file, so I don't have to distribute all of the DLLs seperately. thanks again for the suggestions... mike c

thanks for the suggestion on app path. I had looked into that, but unfortunately, the app path is not search when commands are run from the command line. only from the run window. mike c
