>We have a basic system that we sell to many clients, but we also sometimes customize certain programs for particular clients. I need a way to build and distribute custom EXE's for each client. So far, I plan to have a separate directory for each client that contains any/all of their custom programs. The common programs will be kept in one place. What would be the best way to build EXE's so that it pulls custom programs from the client's directory but all other programs from the general directory?

Make things totally data driven and keep all the code in one place. Use CASE, IF, etc to change how the code runs.
