I remember seeing some threads about removing source code from .exe . I think it was done in the build exe part. If someone would point me in the right direction i would appreciate it.

TIA
 
I don't think the source code can be completely removed, but you can remove the Debug info and partially Encrypt the file.

Right click somewhere in your Project Manager window and select Project Info. On the Project tab, look for the "Debug Info" and "Encrypted" check boxes.

You can also remove the "source" code in forms and class libraries. You need to open the files as tables exclusively, delete the data in the Methods memo field (replace with ""), and then PACK. Note: Only do this after you've backup these files - once you remove the method source you can NEVER edit these again - even if they do run just fine.
