>In an .exe i have a procedure that fires only once at the beginning of the program. Does VFP free the memory occupied by the one-shot procedure after the procedure finishes?

VFP, like previous versions of FoxPro, caches program calls in memory in order to speed execution of frequently called programs. It may release a program that isn't called, but the only guarantee is CLEAR PROGRAM to release the cache.

>Does it make any difference if i move the procedure to a procedure library?

Procedure files can be released via RELEASE PROCEDURE < filename >.
