I don't see how subclassing could help here. It seems much simpler to create a combined accounting & inventory system, and then disable or hide individual items, depending on some condition. The condition might be a compile-time constant (#DEFINE).

If you want to keep your executable smaller, you might try to keep class libraries separate, and then have three versions of the executable (accounting, inventory, both), that include only the forms and classes that are of interest in each case.

HTH,
