Question in exe size..RESOLVEDSome of you may rememeber my question on exe size, viz, I was getting a 26mb exe after compile on 3 other computers, but on my new Duel Core Quad box, the exe size leapt to 96mb. Well, after much stuffing around, I decided to load EVERYTHING VB again. All OK, then I installed Active Reports and EVERY Active Reports update including minor updates. Now the exe is 26mb. So I'm pretty sure that it was AR somewhere along the way because I had already reloaded VB6 to SP5..and then SDP6 SEVERAL times before. Anyway, back to "normal". I hope that this all may be helpful to someone else in the future. Regards David 26 MB exe file size?????
Did you write all that alone? My file is only 3 MB and I wrote that for at least 3 years!

Another thing is stashing data in resource files. The size of an executable does not necessarily reflect the quantity of code written. Dave O. David said he wrote it all.
