There are no stupid questions, just dumb answers as one of my teacher used to say :) This sounds like a deployment question. It's been a long time since I used a project file to deploy an app. I would suggest Ken's dBase tutorial as a good starting point if you have not yet worked through it already. The tutorial guides you through the steps to create an app. You will find it here: http://goldenstag.net/dbase/Tutorial/00_Preface.htm When you say that the user sees many files, could you post a screenshot of what he is seeing (you can attach small files to your posts)? typically, with a compiled application, and an installation script, you would only have one file (myApplication_installer.exe) for the user to download and to execute to install the application, so I am not sure where or at what stage in the download/installation the user is seeing those file. Are those the dBase forms (myApp.wfm, myApp.prg)? When you say "make the downloaded file appear on the desktop", do you mean something like a Desktop shortcut to run the program? or do you mean "choose the desktop as the destination for any download"? If you are referring to a shortcut, that would be done with InnoSetup, the tutorial will show how to do this (http://goldenstag.net/dbase/Tutorial/09_Build.htm). -- Gaetano.
