Benoît,

I'm trying it but I need a bit of help on usage.  (I'm using a library
that has a startup form not a module.  Is this a bad idea?)

Public Sub Form_Open()

#If Executable
  Me.Center
  LoadInfos
#Else
  Error "This is a library.\nPlease do not run it directly"
  Message.Title = "Don't do that!"
  Message.Error("This is a library.\nPlease do not run it directly",
"OK")
  Quit
#Endif

End

If I compile the project and run it via gbx3, I get the expected "Don't
do that" messages, but if I run it in the IDE I get the same thing.
