Daniel,
15 MB isn't really that big in VFP terms but if you have a problem with it here are some suggestions:

1. Under Project - Project Info, uncheck Debug Info. This will most likely reduce your EXE size by 50% to 70%. If unchecked, debug information returned by lineno() and message(1) will be invalid/useless.
2. You can create several APPs and have a main EXE call each one. Exclude the APPs from the main EXE and you can send out indvidual updates. The PM doesn't assist in this. You have to break the application up manually.

HTH.
