When I compiled my VB app & sent it to a colleague, he
got a message about a missing DLL.

How do I (on XP Pro) build an app that will run on Win2K
as well?

Well, if you want it to run without shipping any components with it, first thing, dont use any 3rd
party components. Second, compile on the lowest OS you wish to support, third, make sure they
have the framework installed. From there it should run fine.

The .NET framework and all components used by the application must be
installed on the destination computer.

Hi,

Did you install the dot net framework on his machine? Most
functions will work on both xp and win2k. If you look up any functions that
you used it will tell you what operating systems the function works on.
One function that comes to mind that will not work on win2k is
application.enablevisualstyles.
