the idea of taking the server-specific code and pushing it into a dll before release could work lostclimate - this way the client can receive a dummy version of the dll with no actual server code in it, but never need to call the functions, but the server can run off the same compiled exe, with a full dll and have all the extra functionality. I believe this would be easy enough for a C++ programmer to do toward the end of your project.
