Sandi,

>It took 1 minute 23 seconds after I typed Modify Project xxx
>I tend to change some screens, rebuild the exe and then do xxx.exe and test my changes as they appear in the app. When I run the exe the project is immediately closed and I have to re-open it again to make more changes. I'm getting old so I don't like to do a bunch of stuff then test because I forget what I coded. :)
>My app is in a huge development cycle as it is just new and alot of modules / features are being added so waiting for a minute plus is highly annoying.

You could change your application so that it doesn't close the project every time it runs... For example, in my main programs I always use the VERSION() function to conditionally call CLOSE ALL or not. In most apps, the project window can stay open and you can still test fine... I use VERSION() to distinguish between development and run-time for stuff like splash screens, closing all files, and anything else you want to have different...

Our VFP projects take a while to load too, so the above methodology can be a real time saver for those of us who like to make small changes and then run the whole app to test (I am the same way!)

Good luck!
