That is, even if I comment the code or put it within #IF #ENDIF, the size of the .VCT file will go up (just the way VFP memo grows). And I am not sure if VFP at build time does not pull the .VCT file in the .EXE. Obviously it (VFP) does not pull the code into the .EXE but I am not sure what it does with the .VCT file. I will probably do a test of adding tons of commented code (or #IF #ENFID) and rebuild the .EXE to see if the size of the .EXE will change.

Thank you.
