I'm only guessing, but I would _think_ that your overall code size would not even increase by 4 bytes. A globals file does not (cannot) contain any executable statements. Any statement that is not executable does not turn into compiled code, and therefore does not add to the size of the compiled program. I think all that happens is that FB opens and reads the globals file when it's compiling your program, and uses the information inside to determine how to deal with references (in other parts of your program) to global variables. - Rick
