    Where is the 'compile' tab?

    My VBA program works (thanks to you all for answering my questions.)
    Now time to compile!

    the help file says-

    *************
    Microsoft Visual Basic allows you to compile your applications to fast, efficient native code, using the same optimizing back-end compiler technology as Microsoft Visual C++. Native code compilation provides several options for optimizing and debugging that aren't available with p-code. These options are traditionally called "switches," because each option can be turned on or off.

    This appendix documents the native code compiler options, which appear on the Compile tab of the Project Properties dialog box, available on the Project menu. For more information about native code, see "Compiling Your Project to Native Code" in "More About Programming."

    Topics
    Optimize for Fast Code
    Maximizes the speed of compiled executable files.

    Optimize for Small Code

    ***********

    If I click on "project" and then on "project1 Properties" I do not see a "compile tab".

    Where did it go?

    That's because VBA doesn't compile.... VB does... VBA is a subset of the full VB, designed to run inside of Office documents and such.

    Re: Where is the 'compile' tab?

    Actually my program is written in the Full version of VB, so I should have the ability to switch the compile time options. I called it VBA in my post because part of what it does is access Excel and Word as objects within the program. But my program is not a macro within Excel or Word and is full-on stand alone using the full VB.

    I even made a stand-alone .exe and that works, but I am looking for the compile options and cannot find them.

    So, sorry about using the wrong terminology but I believe that I should have the compile time options available somewhere.

    If it is written in VB then I am afraid you have posted in the wrong forum.
    This one is for VBA and Office Development.

    You will need either Visual Basic .NET or Visual Basic 6 or earlier depending on which version you used.

    PM a mod and ask them to move the thread.

    Ok... when you said VBA, it was assumed you wrote it in VBA (ie, Macro in Excel or Word)....

    What tabs do you have under Project -> Properties?
