Hi Vlad,
Yes, that's exactly what I wanted some way to 'see' the file and extract it even though it's included in an exe (or app)
Cheers
Will

>If you meant you included APP or EXE file into project and compiled another EXE, you can extract the file using FileToStr() function and then saving the resulting string into the disk file using StrToFile(). When FileToStr() will not work, create temporary cursor with memo field, add empty record and use APPEND MEMO command from file to get content of file included into EXE into the memo field. Then use StrToFile() to store content of memo field into disk file. These 2 commands (FileToStr() and APPEND MEMO) search file without path in the EXE file first, and do extract of them in case they're found.
