yeah thank the hard drive gods! Only thing is that this whole "solution" is going to be posted for download and I'm trying not to burn up all of my monthly bandwidth allocation. The size of the of the other portions besides the runtime is upwards of 18mb - 35mb (depending on platform and a few other specifics). I just didn't really want to add another 23mb on top of all of that. Granted it will be zipped/stuffed but that only brings it back down to the 18mb - 26mb range. thanks tho for your quick reply to my very "newbie" question; and if anyone else out there has an idea to help me cut the bloat it'd be greatly appreciated! skeetsummers - covered in more snow

I'm currently working on a runtime solution that when finished will run on both mac's and pc's and output a string of data to be used in another program. My trouble comes from not the process, it is working perfectly. Rather the size of the compiled solution. I've built and used this same type of solution in FMP 6 and it topped out at about 9mb where as this newly recreated version in FMP 7 is topping out at a whopping 23mb. I've read all I could about it in the FMP help and manual but it really says nothing that I can see about the file size. Funny thing is this newest version is much more streamlined with about half the grapics as the old solution. Is this just the direction of the FMP 7 runtime? Is there a way to reduce it's final size? Or should I just break out 6 and build it again in there? Please help! skeeter nummelin - denver - currently covered in snow
