This was the scenario I found in vegas. No project No APP No source code system A disaster waiting to happen.
And worse.. Different versions of the same named PRG in various folders... No idea which one was the right one..

You really only need one EXE and just deploy the source directly. Otherwise you have to manage one EXE, multiple APPs, *and* the source code. This by definition defeats one big benefit Bill Anderson discussed, which is the reduction of system testing. In fact, taking this approach increases the need both internal system testing and customer acceptance testing. Worse, it also exposes the source code to "unauthorized" changes by anyone with a copy of VFP. Of course it depends on the circumstances with the customer, but I think this opens up a serious can of worms for most deployments outside of an internal IT department and maybe some Web sites. Interesting discussion for sure.
