Yeah they are always there, after i compile my application, for Release, there is a .resources file for every form in my project. They disapear though whenever i recompile for Debug

i thought so, thanks DiverDan. So what are the .resources files built for then?

I had this problem for a while, include the regwiz.msm file (found in Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules and in your setup project select the regwiz file, view its properties and click the + in front of (MergeModuleProperties) which will reveal the field License Key. Enter the key you recieved when registering Crystal Reports inlcuding dashes eg: xxx-xxx. This should solve your problem

if you use form.dispose take not that any code in the Form.Close or Closing events will not be executed

Hi, i am a bit confused by what happens when i compile my application for Release. Several .resources files (eg: Project.form.resources) are created. Do i need to package these files with my application, or can i just include the .exe. I have tested both options, including the files and leaving them out, and there seems to be no difference. Also another question about packaging/deployment, am i only required to ship to my users a setup application if something "new" is added to the application. Such as a new form or report which requires a registry entry to be added. If i only change a few lines of code and dont create any new forms can i just send them the new .exe file? Thanks
