#I bought the product thinking I could create windows 3.0 applications,

#This is not much different than using Excel except for the database

#I wanted to create applications that I could pass around but it is

#for the applications.

	Huh? The docs says you need the runtime version for others to
run your application if they don't have a copy of ObjectVision. You have
to order this runtime from Borland, a separate product. Pretty much like
dbase III Plus (or IV, I don't know) - if the target does not have a
copy of the product itself, your apps can still run with a runtime
version.
