Bad deal on inheriting the project like that! But seriously, when you've got a project that you've been a part of from the start, it's much less clutter and confusion to have the one big file.

I guess though, if you really wanted to automate the process, you could create an EXE with VFP that issues a RUN/! command to call makeproc.bat, then compiles the resultant prg - that is if you're running VFP6 SP3. If you're bound to VFP5, then you could create an FXP that does the same thing. Then as long as your Windows file association is setup correctly, you could dblclick the file and it would launch fox and compile it for you.
