Hi Renoir !
Load time of my application is quite good, but my application still grows and I would be nice if it would behave in the same good way in the future when it will be for example 30MB in size. Can I still pack reports,forms,clasess in single exe file or maybe I should diveded it ino smaller parts ? It is not a big problem for me. I made some test and it seems that exe size is not too important. But as I know some folks use launchers in network environment (exe starts from local disk) so maybe it is important and I simply something missed ?
I am also curious how VFP works internally, is it simply loading all in memory at the start or maybe it has a smarter way.

>>I have an application. It has size (exe file) about 16 MB. I've divided it into two parts: EXE file (10 MB) and DBF/FPT file with my app reports stored in its memo field (6MB). I thought my smaller exe will start faster. But it seems that size of exe is not important - the difference of load times is insignificant (also when exe was started from network).
>>I am curious is a limit of exe file when parting exe file in smaller chunks is a need. Maybe someone made some tests ?
>>I am curious also, how VFP load exe file in memory all or a part, (how big is this part) and etc. Maybe it is somewhere described ?
