Hi Kevin,

>I have an executable for an app that seems to unexplainably grow by quite a bit when I re-generate it with out adding anything significant to the project...I have always thought that it was unusually large for this particular app, none of the bmp's or reports are inside the exe....I thought I saw a thread on this at some point, but I can't seem to track it down...this is in vfp5.

This is usually caused by VCX files thare have been modified. For once, VFP deletes the class in a VCX and adds the entire class as new records, letting the VCX files grow. And also we have the typical problems of memo bloat with the VCT files. The Class Browser has got a cleanup function to pack a VCX table.
