Hi,
Can anyone help me ?

I have written a space invader type game & when I compile it & run it from withen the folder which contains all my .bmp files everything works ok.

But when I copy my .exe program out of the main folder & run it, I get my main screen come up & all the sounds work but no sprites appear on the screen ?

Whats going on ?

When I compile my program I have added all my files in the media section of the compiler, and on the Executable file settings I have ticked the EXE with attached media so this should work ?

I would be very gratful if anybody can help me ?

Try putting all media in a ZIP file then putting that in a folder and unzipping it. You should have a copy of all media used in the game in a new file.
That may work,

put the dba. file in its own folder with all the media used in the game, then open the dba file in DB and press F7 -Build Final. I've never tried that, but that should be the way to include the media in the .exe.

... copy everything in the folder except your .dba .dbpro that stuff... and DO NOT COPY THE .BAK when opened in notepad you can see all the db code...
