size of my gms

hello,

is it posible to clean an gms file?

The current size is 16.869 KB.
I think, if I make little changes (2-5 lines) the new filesize is (filesize+filezize).

1. Close Draw
2. Start it again
3. Go to VBA
4. Save the GMS again

Also I have exported all modules and forms then imported them back to a new GMS which seems to helps the file size.

Good Luck,

Shelby

in VB Editor Tools>References... add reference to Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Extencibility...
Create a folder written in Dir_for_code variable
Start code. It should export all the forms and modules exept of protected ones

Sub code_save()
Dim vbc As VBComponent
Dim vbp As VBProject
Dir_for_code="c:\temp\code\"
On Error Resume Next
For Each vbp In VBE.VBProjects
MkDir Dir_for_code + vbp.Name
For Each vbc In vbp.VBComponents
Select Case vbc.Type
Case vbext_ct_ClassModule
ext = ".cls"
Case vbext_ct_StdModule
ext = ".bas"
Case vbext_ct_MSForm
ext = ".frm"
Case Else
ext = ""
End Select
fn = Dir_for_code + vbp.Name + "\" + vbc.Name + ext
vbc.Export fn
Next
Next
End Sub

Do you mean 66KB or 66MB?

It looks like you might have some large images in the form resources somewhere (like background of a form or something).
