It seems you're missing some fundamentals here. There is no need to create a large procedure file with lots of procedures and functions in it. Create each procedure as a separate .PRG file. Do not start each of these files with the keywords procedure or function. Sometimes you might need to make an object with methods and properties that are specific to that object. You should not create an object just to have a place to put all procedures and functions (as methods). Having all of the prgs separate will allow you to more quickly edit and recompile those that you make changes to.
Don't do this...
MYPROC.PRG
Procedure proc1
blah
blah
blah
return
Function func1
blah
blah
blah
return blah
do this...
proc1.prg
blah
blah
blah
return
func1.prg
blah
blah
blah
return blah
The set procedure to command actually takes some time. You can work this way without any problems. There is a slight performance problem as Fox/VFP try to find the files on the drive. (Its so small its not worth worrying about) When it comes time to compile to a final exe, the performance will jump right back up.
Good luck.
