>My main custom class library gets compiled in with my main application, which all totals just under 1 MB. I know that's not large by any means, but I'm creating some utilities and a new module and would like to have them as their own .exes, no big deal. I've created a new project and added the main class library to it, but excluded it so that it won't compile in this new utility's .exe. The utility only consists of one prg and one form, and in the prg I've tried to include: SET CLASSLIB TO mainlib IN main.exe ADDITIVE ALIAS mainlib2. Well for whatever reason, I get a unrecognized phrase/keyword error when trying to use the ALIAS option. So I drop the ALIAS and everything compiles fine.

Isn't it supposed to just use the library that was compiled in the main.exe??? Why can't FoxPro "find" it? The curdir() is right where the main.exe is so it knows the main.exe is right there...

You don't have to - and don't want to - include the class library in every executable. The NEWOBJECT() function and NewObject methods allow you to specify the app that a class library is located in.
