Sometimes this is very useful if you want to repair a wfm or sth else "quick and dirty" without compiling a new exe. But: If you publish a new exe and forget, that there still is hanging around your old "quick and dirty repaired wfm", you will seek a while, why your new wfm inside of the exe doesn't work :-D (I know that very well from my days of beginning!! LOL) As Ken said (Hi Ken) use a folder to develop and use another for your published stuff. Cheers Jan
