There is a program called Fusion that combines any runtime and OCX/DLL files into your EXE so you only need the EXE. It costs $$$ though. The cheapest option is to just send the required files as well. You could always zip them up

Anything you make in VB will need some type of system file. You can try using the Package and Deploy Wizard to pacakge all your files into an installer. That way everything gets installed at once.

I'll give you a head start and point you in the direction of www.lockless.com They've got a patch that converts the shareware version to full version. But you didn't hear it from me, okay!?
