Karen Currently I have a menu option in the Compiled RBA that runs a Choose command Update Forms, Update Reports ..... It sets the owner password, StaticDB Off then runs the file.

Marc: I agree, if you put an owner password on the database, then even if they run out and get an evaluation copy of RBase then they couldn't connect to the database without the password. I'm not sure if forms being compressed would be much of a help -- I thought it was more to save space and I never do it because then it's hard to search for stuff. If you add a new form, you would have to recompile anyway, wouldn't you? Or else there would be no way for the user to use the form! Karen I thought if you had an Owner password the RB* files are safe and if the Forms are compressed the Custom Form Actions and EEPs are safe too??? or am I wrong. I am using the Compiler in 7.6 to Compile the RBA file which mostly has menus. Updating my app and adding new Forms / Reports is easy. If you use V9 Compiler and put those things into the Exe will that make it harder to Add new Forms to your app? Would you have to Re Compile the EXE again to include the new Form? Thanks for any info Marc
