    Hi,
    I guess there shouldn't be any problems, unless your program is using some Active X stuff (like Crystal Reports or something), then you most probably need to build a setup program.

    IMHO you MUST create a setup program and stuff it into a CAB file for downloading. You can't really assume that your users have the VB runtime files that consist of several MB or DLLs and OCXs.
