>I am working on an application which is getting too big to be managable. When I have to look for an existing form I am searching through a list of hundreds. It takes forever to compile and the final file size is huge. Not to mention that when I make a minor change to one program I resend the whole thing via modem to the customer.

What I usually do is exclude all bitmaps, icons, reports and most classes from the project. The classes I provide to the customer have the code stripped from the Methods field in all the VCX records. Of course, I strip a copy of the VCX. I keep the original VCX and VCT in their own directory. I then copy the classes to my development directory where I strip the code.
You can do the same with forms. Until a form is finished to your liking you can exclude it from the project so you do not have to continually recompile the app.
