Yes

Yes

Don't know what is protable (sorry)

Never seen a problem in this.

I personally don't use an exe forthe classlibs.
You also could have an app file with them.
Then you don't have the vfp runtime included.
To use the classlibs in it you can run the app from the exe and in the app have a main prg with something like set classlib to ..... additive.
For me this works.
I'm also seperating our app into different parts, so when we update part one of the app we don't have to send all the other not updated parts.
