Here is my problem: I created a FM7 file to retrieve data via ODBC from a series of Access tables, the solution works well on all my Microsoft Windows XP machines. However I have one Windows 98 machine still in service on our network. I need to run this solution on that machine. I do not have FM7 Developer, and understand it can compile FM7 files to a stand alone application. If this is correct this may be my solution.

I do not know how difficult this would be to compile, nor if this is an appropriator request to make. But it never hurts to ask, so here I go. Would someone be willing to look at my file and possibly recompile it to a stand alone application . Or if there is another direction I should go, direct me.

Any help here would be appreciated. I am under a significant amount of pressure to get this one solution going, without additional software investment, or lost time. A working solution here would greatly increase my bid for additional investment in such things as FM Developer, and continued hardware investment

Hi kelbantaemi,

I've compiled the file you posted using FMA 8. Unfortunately its created a 18MB file, which is in zipped format, which I wont be able to post in the forums. Besides I dont think a compiled application with v7 or 8 will work under Win 98(I maybe wrong). If you want me to upload to a space or something you can message me the user/password details

However I have one Windows 98 machine still in service on our network. I need to run this solution on that machine.

A FM7/8 runtime won't run on 98. Minimum requirements are XP SP1 or 2000 SP4.
