RB impact on exe size

edited November 2001 in General
I am using RB in a project.

I began the evening with a form with one TppReport. At that time my
application executable size was about 5.7 mb.

During the course of the night, I added three TppReports. I have noticed
very looong linking times, and saving of the project. I knew it was RB, but
just continued working. Now, at the end of the night, I looked at the
application executable and noticed that it is 8.7 mb, and the .dfm file for
the report form is 8.7 mb.

I intentionally added the TppReports because I want to compile the report
into the executable rather than load from file. However, it seems like
something is really wrong here.

Are these size impacts on the application executable and the form file in
line with your experience. If not, what could be wrong?

    Ah, well, I found the problem. My client provided a bmp file and it
    accounted for the entire increase. The form file was 3 mb with the bmp.

    Sorry for the false post.

    I would consider saving the reports to RTM files or to a reports db table. I
    do the later and it works quite well. The user has no idea where the reports
    are (could care less), and I can update them real easy. And when there is a
    BMP change, or one client wants different reports then another, I just ship
    them different report tables, with the same EXE.
