Re: Source of EXE Size

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



What are you trying to figure out exactly? Why you EXE suddenly got bigger.
You could go into Windows Explorer and look at the files that make up your
project (forms, classes, modules).

Take a look at anything that ends in X like frx as these would be the files
that are holding binary data and most likely would be the largest files.
