>I can't get the encrypt to turn off when doing a build. I turned on encrypt in my project but sometimes I need to turn it off to do a build that can be zipped. PKZIP does no good on an encrypted build and sometimes I need to modem a new exe to a customer when things are going bad. Every time I turn it off it turns itself back on during the build. I tried refresh, pack, you name it I tried it. Anyone seen this?

I haven't seen it, but I may have a fix for it - try issuing:

_VFP.ActiveProject.Encrypted = .F.

just before you build. You can probably create a Project Hook to do this in the BeforeBuild event automatically.
