 Ok Ok Don't laugh :) I'm a TOTAL newbie, I have VB 6.0 Pro edition and I'm in school for it now.
I have followed along with the books make a silly program. The program/code
works great on mine. However I tried to send it via email both the Cab and
the setup.exe to a fiend of mine and she can't get it to run. I looked
through the newsgroup here in hopes of not having to ask the dreaded
question but didn't see it listed.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rookie in Atlanta.

Ok Ok Don't laugh :) I am a newbie too but i think your problem is that your friend doesnt have
the Visual Basic 6 runtimes installed
you can get that for free off www.microsoft.com or just search for it

Ok Ok Don't laugh :) Have you hard coded some paths? Like Open "c:\myprogram\some.file" that
maybe your friend has a different path to?

Ok Ok Don't laugh :) if friend cant find own files, it isnt your program having the problem.
that is more of a user education issue.
specific pathnames will not be created "automatically" as needed, you must
use mkdir as required
specify the exact errors that are occurinG???

Ok Ok Don't laugh :) You need to make an installation using Application Deployment Wizard. This
will install all the needed files, DLL's and OCX's to the target PC so that
they can run your code. Without them the code won't work...
Usually the resultant install is at least 3 MB with even only a small
program.

Ok Ok Don't laugh :) You also need to send her the SETUP.LST
File that is created when you send your vbp through the package and deployment
wizard.
It should be in the setup folder that is created when you run the P&D wizard
