Karen, I forgot to mention that you need to include any RBL's that you may be using. However in V9 you won't even need to do that! All the RBL's are inside of V9 and are switched on as you purchase licensing.

Karen, I am not sure your question was answered. Currently in the 7.6 and V8 compiled version if you use an installed R:Base you can connect to the rbase files and modify forms, reports, rff's, etc. all you want with out having to recompile. It's what I do now. However in V9 you can include the rff's, forms, reports, etc into the compiler and remove them from the database. This is a huge change. If you need to change a form and have included the form in the compiled V9 THEN you will need to recompile. Now that is security. So now in a distributed application all you need to send is MyApplication.exe MyApplication.RX1 MyApplication.RX2 MyApplication.RX3 MyApplication.RX4 RBEngineV9.DLL I think you still need the send the config file and if you include your startup.dat in a run select that is all you need to send.Pretty cool.

I understand... But adding a new form to the databsae doesn't help you any unless you have modified your compiled app so that the new form is being used somewhere. That's what I meant ... So I wasn't understanding the statement (can't remember who said it) that you shouldn't have to recompile an app when you've added a new form. Maybe the person meant "modified form", in which case you obviously do not have to modify your app. Karen 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
