>Can anyone make suggestions for reducing the size of an application's EXE? My VFP 5.0 app just crossed 6MB and someone once told me that big EXE's could be problemmatic. What kinds of things can I do to bring the size of that EXE down? Can I somehow externalize code or forms and make some kind of DLL? Can VFP make DLL's? Am I worrying about nothing?
6MB isn't that large nowadays, and unless you're having specific problems, I wouldn't worry too much...but a few things you can do, if you haven't yet:
1) Pack your classes
2) Remove reports from the project (I've picked up > 1MB from this)
3) Make sure data is not included in build unless you really need it
