Why not create a form or dialog or even a wizard that walks the user through creating a formula with drop downs, checkboxes, ie. standard UI controls and create the script behind the scenes? That allows your users to create custom formulas and at the same time, prevents them from having to learn a scripting language.

No, I was looking more for something to determine if a selected EXE is a debug build or not. Not from within code, but if someone just hands you an EXE, how can I determine if it is a DEBUG build. I think Neville answered my question...just wish there was a little easier solution. I was hoping for something more programmatic...an app I could drag and drop an EXE into or a shell extension that I could use to right click and select on an EXE in Explorer. thanks for the response, though.

Given an executable compiled using VC++ (unmanaged), is there a way to identify if the EXE is a debug or release build? Obviously, if you had the two builds side by side, the larger would be the debug, but is there a way to detect if the EXE is a debug build? Regards
