>>>>The downside - for me - to place each function/procedure in a separate .PRG is a maintenance headache. I have not counted but the application probably has a couple of hundred procedures. And having to scroll through this list in the project manager (if necessary to look at the code of whatever), would increase the time of maintenance. I know many will say that instead of the Functions/Procedures I should have them in classes. And maybe so. But I started this application way before I knew anything about how to build classes. When I can and when it makes sense, I do refactor the code.

>>>Why would you use the Project Manager to find a particular file? If I'm looking at a routine and it calls something and I want to see that, I use my keyboard shortcut for Thor's Go To Definition tool and it just opens. If I need to edit something and I know what it is, I just type MC and the filename in the Command Window. It's really rare that I need to look at a routine and I don't know its name. Does that come up for you a lot?

At the moment, I rarely need to build EXEs. (Someone else does that for the main project I'm on.) If I did, I'd switch to Project Explorer, which seems far better for things like finding relevant files.

May we simple agree there is more then one way to skin the Fox? If one is stubborn hard nosed enough the whole IDE is a bit superfluous.
