I can't help with the volume, not something I've ever tried. Making an exe is dead easy, simply select Win 32 Executable instead of Application in the Build Options screen which comes up when you click on the Build button on the Project screen. Be aware that it will delete any apps that may be there with the same name. You should then be able to come out of FoxPro and run the program by double-clicking on the .exe file. I suggest that you would be better having several apps/exes rather than one giant app. What I would do would be to look at the complete app then identify its functionalities to split it into several apps. I would make a safe copy of the original as a backup then decide which app I am building first. Remove all other functionality a bit at a time testing after each major change and making a copy so you can roll back easily. Keep testing as an app until you are satisfied then build it as an exe. Repeat for the next piece of functionality that you want. I always find it easier to work with several smaller apps than one giant one. Make sure your methods that are used in several apps are in a suitable class library that you can then build into each project. I have a separate folder for each project with any project specific forms, classes, etc and a folder I call VFP Common Code which contains my libraries.
