Well, after searhing through 7 pages of threads I've desided to swallow my pride and ask a rather embarassing question. How do you save your DBPro program as a stand-alone file? I've looked through the reference manual, the user manual, and the help file and found nothing. please help me out. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and hang my head in shame.

Press F4 or F5 - the first will compile but not run, the second will compile and run. Either case will create an EXE in your Project folder based on the Settings tab in DBPro (I.e. EXE size, window caption, etc).

Actually, Pro creates a *.exe file first and runs it when you compile your project.
If you look in your <application name> folder under the "projects" folder where you installed DBPro you should find an *.exe file.

Depending on the settings you have in "project" panel (the red button "project") you can control how the *.exe works.

For example:
If you mark the "EXE whit Attached Media", DBPro make a single *.exe (and a big one too) where all your images,sounds and stuff is included.
If you mark the "Normal EXE" it makes an *.exe that only contains the program code. You must then also when you give the file to someone also give the person all the images, sounds and stuff you program is using.
