However our understanding is that we cannot create a standalone executable from VB Express - anyone who wants to use the RSG would have to download VB Express onto their machine in order to have the necessary run time library, and this isn't satisfactory. The best solution would be to have someone who has Visual Studio, or one of the comparable Visual Basic packages prepare a standalone executable, and perhaps even a website executable (I am not sure what is involved in that). We could zip up the project directory and the data files, and email them to a willing person who has more of a clue than we do (Nora might eventually learn how to do it at work, but rarely has any time to work on such things, and so far as we know the program is usable now).My job is working with Visual Studio, and while I work with C#, I'm sure I could do VB too, so I'd be glad to help you compile the program.
With any luck, this should be a hierarchy of directories containing the entire project and all need data files in the resources subdirectory.
Sorry for the delay - my wife had a work deadline, and it was difficult to corner her to try to figure out what needed to be sent, and where it was hidden in the file system.
Let me know what happens. lojbab
