I didn't think I HAD any questions to be answered. Someone said "do I need to recompile my app if I added a new form". My answer was "of course you would because adding a new form doesn't help you if you haven't added it to your app." Unless the original poster meant "adding a modification to a form" in which case, no you don't need to compile. So I was answering the literal question that was asked.
And then I made a comment that being able to embed forms in the exe is a huge step in security. Otherwise someone could access all your forms and reports using an installed version.
