I am using VFP 5.0.

Suppose I create a base class form. Then I create an application using
that class. Then create an executible for my application.

After I created the executible, I decide that I want to change my base
class form. Maybe I change the color of the form. Will I have to create
a new executible? Or by changing the base class, will it affect all the
lower classes without having to create a new executible?

Rich,
As always, the answer is "it depends"! Normally you would have to recreate the
..EXE. However, if you don't include the class in your project (i.e. it's marked
excluded) AND you distribute it's files along with the .EXE, then all you'll
need to do is replace these two files. Note: There are very few circumstances
where this is a good idea.
