  I wrote a program and compiled it on my laptop(WinXP Home) using MFC in VS 2003.NET and took it to school and tried to run it on one of their computers(WinXP Pro) and I it said it couldn't run because it couldn't find "MFC71.DLL". Are MFC programs not portable and if not is there a way to write a program in Visual C++ so it is

  It's not about portability here. Since your program dynamically uses MFC, the target machine needs the required DLL. You can do a static build to avoid this issue.

  ok now I have another problem. it compiles fine, and when I run it I don't get any errors, but when it runs if flickers on the screen and then closes again immediately. I checked my code there is nothing to tell the program to close except when the correct menuItem is clicked. Please help, this makes no senes to me.

  In your Project Settings, set "Use of MFC" to "Use MFC in a Static Library"
