Erik,
I was wondering if there was a switch for this. Thanks. There is a problem though. I tested it and yes it did signinficantly reduce the size of the exe but I also lost the line numbers in the error report. A trade off I'm not ready to make. However, it does have one good place. If I need to send a quick fix to a customer using PC Anywhere I can do the compile with no debug and encrypt off and get a much smaller zip file to send over the modem. So in the end this does help quite a bit where it really counts. When the customer is down.
