>>Hi Charlie,
>>The reason I want to keep each class into its own classlib is for the exact same reason you stated. To avoid having VFP pull tons of classes into a "sub-project" when I only need to use one or two classes. My .EXE is about 11MB and I was concerned about performance. Since you are saying that 42 MB is not a big deal, I won't worry about increasing size of the .EXE.

You could then have separate executable parts shipped to the local PC. I did that with reports, graphics and some other stuff that changed more frequently.

I already have all my reports (.frx) files in a separate .app file. And I have a couple of modules that are not very frequently used in .app files. This helps to maintain .EXE relatively small.
