Estimate file size
Is there a way to estimate how big a visual basic project will be in kb?
I have heard of automated ways (as shown in the link h++p://www.vbexplorer.com/VBExplorer/tips/src38.asp) but I am looking for a manual way to do this for my A level project. I need to show i can estimate roughly how big my project will be and explain how i did this.
E.g. A project with 13 forms with 4 command buttons each, 2 labels with short headers like "View Details", several text boxes and two modules with 100 words in them.
Any ideas?

Re: Estimate file size
I believe you first have to define what you mean by "Project". Several key items impact the size of the .exe file. Looking over my last 10 Apps, they range from 370 KB to 850 KB. Artwork included in images and picture boxes will expand the .exe faster than about anything else, so you may wish to keep that in mind, especially if the images are rather large and in color.
Please clarify the definition of "Project". Your data and text files are going to add to the .exe and so will the required .dll and .ocx files. There are a bundle of items that accompany a project and impact its size.
