>>It is now a known fact that our FoxPro/VFP source code can be obtained by third party decompilation tools like REFOX. Please tell me how can I protect my software and source code so that my software doesnot get decompiled. Are there techniques or tools for this?

>Don't include the source code in your exe. Create a copy of your source code for distribution. Compile all prgs but only add the fxps to your project. This assumes you don't explicitly call a .prg file in your source code. ie. CREATEOBJECT([myclass],[classes\mclasses.prg])

Also, you can apply the techniques described in How To Write Unmaintainable Code :)
