Having recently had speed problems regarding an exe made in DBC ver 1.13 enhanced, the rather excellent Robin King (author of MagicWorld) suggested that it might be that later versions of DBC have more modules in them so that resulting exe's have more work to do when running therefore slowing the program down,so I uninstalled my all singing/all dancing version of DBC and reinstalled the bogstandard ver 1.08 off my CD, the new exe I made ran like a dream.
So maybe this tip will work for you if you run into speed problems,it's worth a try.
Now, is it possible to have more than one version of DB installed at any one time cos when I tried it it didnt work right, any takers?

But what if you are using the enhancement features?

Then, you should have a look at my speed tips section to see how else you can optimise your code

Feel free to add to your list Jess,
as for the enhancements, I guess you have to keep reinstalling whichever version you need at the time.
I have a partitioned drive but it still didnt work when I put one version on each partition, maybe I'm doing something wrong.
I only really needed to un-enhance DB so I could make a decent exe of MW, once it was made I put the enhancements back on and the exe still worked fine.
