Help... suddenly my compiled EXE grew from 3 to 18 MB without any reason!
I have no idea why. There are no unused resources. No important changes to the project...

Anybody an idea why this happens and how I can get rid if this?

thanks

did you put new files in the DOCS folder? these files are never removed during 'clean up'.

You'll need to use explorer to look at the files thatmake up your project.

Jasper,

no new files and nothing in my doc folder.
The only file that got bigger is the CCD file. I have no control on how that is made.

Gary:
I have never seen this happen; but I suppose it's possible.

You (or something else) put more data in your project. w/o seeing it; I'm out of ideas.

you probably used different (many) fonts for your GUI parts
AMS packs all fonts you used into CDD file
it may be reason of big CDD file

Bingo.... That was the right answer. By mistake I marked one button to use the Arial Unicode font instead of just Arial!

thanks for the tip!
