That was the initial error, solved by unticking the box. It was also what made me uncertain if they were compiled into the exe or not. /Henning

Normally, unused components (not modules/functions) are "removed if unused" with no way accessing them :) -- Dee Earley (dee.earley(a)icode.co.uk) i-Catcher Development Team iCode Systems

It only effects ActiveX controls that you choose from Project-->Components. I just tested with a new Standard EXE, and adding a single empty UserControl without placing it on any form. I can see "UserControl1" in both cases when searching the EXE with a hex editor.

With that option unticked, you can not add it to a form dynamically with controls.add(). I don't know why it has the name in the binary though. -- Dee Earley (dee.earley(a)icode.co.uk) i-Catcher Development Team iCode Systems
