Ok i have a prob with distributing. On any computer that has VB installed on it, theres no problem whatsoever, however when being run on a comp that has no VB on it. I get the error that the files not found and what its referring to are the other forms in the program. Only 2 forms open, and the other 2 dont. There is no difference in how i code it to open the form. I say formname.show and i get file not found. Please help. I know this is a dumb question but i have been up for the past 3 hours trying to figure this out and it eludes me. Please help a young programmer out.

do U use external file (txt,bmp,jpg) in function like OPEN, LOADPICTURE...?
do U use res file? API? db file?

it seems that it only has a problem on computers that DONT have VB installed. I sent it through the p&d wizard, so all the dlls should have been sent with it, but i will send the code maybe i did spell somethin wrong. (btw i changed the extentions on the txt files to .shn to keep people from opening them and accidentaly screwing up their database)
