The name of the executable (unless specified otherwise) is always something like Default.exe or Temp.exe (I forget which). If you want the name of the exe to be different,



To the name. It should be there afterwards, if it isnt try doing a search on your computer for the exe name to see where DBP is saving it.

Yes it does - just use the Build Final button.

The exe has the same name as the DBA file so MyProg.dba file compiles to MyProg.exe and is in the same folder.

[Edit] 'Build Final' may be 'Make Final' - it depends on the IDE you are using!
