This seems like a top-notch tip. A few clarifying questions from the gallery, if I may:

1. When you replace all method fields of both classes and forms, do you replace only the records that are not empty, i.e., REPLACE ALL METHOD WITH '*' FOR !EMPTY(METHOD) ?

2. Do you then leave the DEBUG INFO checkbox checked in the Project Info/Project option?

3. Is the "Build" option of the Project Manager the same as "BUILD EXE myExe From MyPrject", so long as the Rebuild Project and Rebuild All Files options are unchecked ? (Sorry for this last one, I've just never used "Build" from the command window before...

Thank you for sharing your ideas.
