Hi Henry
There is little need to rebuild everything every time. I've seen many people with this bad habit and just like every other bad habit, they don't change just because there's good reason to change.
I build exe's all the time and ship them to clients without any problems. Test your exe's to ensure new features are included. If they are not, then somehow the programs didn't recompile when saved. Repeat the steps outlined below. Manually do a rebuild project (NOT COMPILE EXE), but tell it to recompile all files. This should rarely be necessary.
Open any .PRG file with MODIFY COMMAND. Click Edit on the menu. Go down to properties and check Compile before saving. Check Apply to .PRG files and check Save preferences. Click OK. From now on, anytime you edit a program it should compile automatically.
Now as to this program you want included in the exe...
Add this to the bottom of your main .PRG for the project:
PROCEDURE PMFAKEOUT
EXTERNAL PROCEDURE WHATEVER
ENDPROC
"Whatever" refers to the program name. When you rebuild project (without recompiling anything), the program should be included in the project. It will get put into the exe when you compile.
