>No offense, but this is one of the things I'm surprised more people don't know. If you build stuff into an exe there's better performance than if they're left on the disk. It's not just the difference between the OS searching for files. It seems VFP has a special way to access files in the exe. I'm not sure of the mechanism, but the result have been there for at least 10 years! :) I distinctly remember showing this to Jim Nelson when we first worked together.

Right you are! And it's still in there < s > (my head that is)
