Which files

[Anonymous]

Let's say, for example, that I have finished working on the Logon program, from Tutorial #1, and I want to install it at a customer's site.  I know that he is going to want some modifications... what files do I need to take with me to his site in order to be able to make modifications.

Assuming that the customer has PB and FF installed.

Thank you,

Buck

A FireFly project is usually only composed of a few different types of files:

Form files:  *.frm

Modules: *.bas, or *.inc  (usually, however the programmer can call it whatever they wish).

Resources: *.rc (only if the programmer has added any themselves. FireFly automatically generates its own resource file during compile).

Images - Stored in the \Images directory of your project (if you followed the Tutorial for setting up the directory structure).


Basically, all files in your Project direcotry and subdirectories, EXCEPT, for the Release directory - those files get regenerated everytime FireFly does a compile.

Also, of course, if you add your own DLL's or OCX's then you need to be sure that those are on the client's machine as well.

The easiest way is to simply use Winzip or a similar utility and zip the Project directory and subdirectories.
