Hi Hardik,
Yes, it did create only an .APP file. Someone had mentioned that this could have been caused by having a readonly .bmp file in the project, but I do not have one in this case. The only graphics in the project is the .ico file for the .exe's icon. I eventually upgraded the file to 5.0 and was able to compile it correctly, but would love to know why I'm having the problem in 3.0 because I have more projects in 3.0 that I don't want to HAVE to upgrade should I make a change to them.
Thanks again,
_Craig
