Hi Michelle,
>I have a reference to a utility in my project. When I build it, the PM picks that up and tries to add everything downstream of it. I don't want it to do that. I tried the EXTERNAL command and excluding it from the project. Doesn't work. It still wants to add everything.

The only way I know is to use a dynamic reference. Macro expansion is one way to do that. If it is a program
do ("Util")
is another way to do it.
