>We have an app that is composed of one monothilic EXE (approx 10MB). We are interested in breaking it into smaller parts; not because we think it will run faster or use less memory. It's because our users download updates from our website and we're trying to make that faster and easier. Even when compressed the update file is still 1.5 MB. In previous versions, for example, foxbase+, you could create separate FOX files and simply set procedure to. Is there anything approaching this in VFP?

As far as I remember (it has been a while since I last installed an executable), you can create a small executable that requires two or three .DLL's from VFP to be present. The DLL's are always the same, and need to be installed only once. Only the .EXE must be copied over.

We use one .EXE with a login sequence and a main menu. From this, a number of .APP's are started that are put in the same directory. So when a module is changed, only that single .APP needs to be updated.

Hope this helps...
