>Is there any reason to choose Encrypted when I build My application? I realise that Encrypted or not REFOX works well :o(((, But when I not choose Encrypted WINRAR build an file 3 times smaller the when I choose Encrypted.

The latter part seems quite logical to me. Once the information is encrypted, it looks like random data to any compression program. If there were patterns in the original data (numerous repetitions of VFP keywords or variables), these patterns would no longer appear as patterns in the encrypted version.
