If you have forms or class libraries, the source code is stored in the Methods memo field and the compiled versions are stored in the Objcode memo field. If you were to make a copy of your forms/class libraries, blank the Methods field of these copies, and then build your .EXE with these copies, you would not be distributing your source. Be aware that there are tools out there that can take the Objcode field and re-contruct the Methods info from that, like ReFox (among others).
