Kevin, Welcome to MPW, the development environment where _you_ provide the smarts. You need to write a "make" file for your C++ project that includes the proper "dependency rules." These rules can check file dates to see if a given object file is "later" than its source file. You then run MAKE on the makefile; this generates a series of commands you highlight and execute to perform the actual build. If you use MPW for any length of time you'll script all this stuff and put it in a menu item or something. That's what I do; but then when I need to modify a make file I have to drag out the MPW documentation again.
