Gnana,

Both VFP and VB are vulnerable to decompiling. Refox can 'brand' your exe
so it can't be decompiled, at least not without alot more work.

As far as the exe size, make sure you reuse classes whenever possible. Also, a good method I use is whenever I add code, I try to remove the same amount of bytes by optimizing another section. Like placing WITH..ENDWITH and optimizing statements. Almost everything you type gets put into the EXE with fox, so keep that in mind. Utilizing this our app is about 1.7m and replaces one that did the same thing that was almost 6meg.
