Joel,

FWIW, I don't use the component gallery. I got in the habit a long time ago to drag/drop items from a torn off All tab of the collapsed project manager. The CG sucks up 6mb of ram while it's running (almost doubling the memory footprint of VFP), that's grossly overweight imho compared to just grabbing a class out of the project.
