>Thanks Bruce. I see what yo mean about excluding reports. I've got about 1MB there too. With your report forms externalized from the EXE, did you find yourself having to code IF FILE("myreport.frx") into your apps when running a report form too? Or how did you get around file not found errors?

I keep reports in a dir always available (local or server) and run them with a path like

Report Form (cMypath + 'myreport'). I don't need to worry about "file not found' in my situations, but, you could check if you need to. For server reports, I keep in read-only dir to avoid problems.

>Aside, how do you pack a class? Is that the "clean up class library" in the class browser? (I get nervous messing with the class library and didn't want to just click it without asking ... VFP Help wasn't.)

In class browser, use last button on right of toolbar, I think that's what you're referring to (or you can USE and PACK if you prefer to)...SCX don't require packing...
