Hi Mike,

I was thinking about the same idea, as Steve. Right now I have fairly long procedure, which consists of lots functions. I was thinking about putting them into memo field and extract and compile, etc., when function changes... Are you saying, that it's not the right decision? Could you explain you position, please?

Thanks in advance.

>>I was thinking it would be fairly cool to keep code for some methods in a memo field in a table. Then I could change/debug without re-compiling everything.
>>Has anyone done this before? Can it be done? How would I execute the code once it was in the field (eval())?

What works better is just running the main.prg instead of the app, then it uses the files on disk as it is, not the ones compiled into an EXE or APP.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
