Why did size of EXE file suddenly decrease?

[ehar...@gmail.com]

My apologies for this question, because it's probably going to sound
ridiculous.

I've been maintaining a software product developed in VFP 8.0 with a
SQL Server backend for a few years, and I think I have a pretty good
handle on most things. I inherited the project from other developers.
I make periodic fixes, build the project, and create an EXE, the EXE
has always been about 50 MB. It goes up and down in size by small
amounts every once in a while, as I add and remove things. No big
deal. It's a large EXE, but it's manageable for our clients and users.

Today, I build the EXE and it's 7MB. But all the functionality seems
to be there. It runs, everything works. Everything that was in the
project is still in the project file.

I swear I didn't change anything. Although I know you've probably all
heard THAT before. I'm not really an expert, so it's very possible
that I don't know what's going on. Does anybody have any ideas about
what could cause this decrease in size? I don't know whether to be
concerned that I lost something (???)

thanks...
