>Another division of my company that uses Sybase has sent us some classes. We use SQL Server and due to the use of a SQL Server key word, we have had to change some of the code in the classes. We then have to build the classes into DLLs. We were assured we were sent all of the source code and I am still waiting for an answer as to whether we really did get all of the source because there is no project with the source.

>The reason I am rambling on: I was under the impression you could only build a DLL in VFP from a project. That's the way I have always done it. Is it possible to build a DLL without a project? If so, how do I do it? I hesitate to create a project here because I have no idea what the original project may have contained in addition to the Classes.

As Sylvain said, you definitely need a project. You can just build an imprmptu one using

build project mynewproject from mymainprogram

The VFP project analyzer will throw everything it knows about into your project. Unfortunately, if that other division used name expressions or macro substitution for anything, the project will build but the program will fail when it needs that code.
