Hi Nadya,

>Seems like very useful trick. What about building app? I believe, the rule still applies...

Yep, it does. The trick is that all form and classfiles are included in the exe. If you're able to reduce those files in size it will directly lead to reducing the size of the exe with the same amounts of bytes (unless the debuginfo checkbox was unchecked).

If you use the commandwindow I wrote (Available from the filessection) build into your exe you can easely check this in the following manner:

- Start your appplication
- Pop up the command window
- Enter: USE myClass.vcx (where myclass is one of your use classes)
- BROWSE NORMAL.

You'll see that your whole classlibrary is include in your project (if you do include debuginfo, you'll see your sourcecode is intact too). BTW, this is a great way to retrieve the original sourcecode from an existing executable (at least for classes, reports, forms and other tables).

If you've replace the methods fields with a *, you'll notice that it is also build into the exe.

Walter,
