>But why would you want to do that? Personally, that's one aspect of Pro Series that I like. If I need to make a change to one program, I don't have to get everyone out of the system to do it. Building a project and compiling all the programs into one exe just seems silly to me...

There are some component based strategies that I've used (app files) that actually dnamically link with the main exe. As Craig noted (and I did also in another post), however, using a loader program is a way around kicking everyone off.

You do pay some performance penalty by not using an EXE and relying on individual FXPs. Each time a new program is called: Fox has to check its memory to see if the program is already in the program cache; Locate it on the disk if it isn't and then load it from the disk. Further, you make deployment more complex by the need of distributing numerous smaller files (which tend to use up more disk space, BTW). Lastly, there's no guarantee that someone won't be using the module you're trying to replace.
