Wm...
And Others that may be coming from 6.5 and older dbs where you have a lot
of *.APP files containing lots of code blocks you can download the RAppSplit
EXE version here:
www.byerley.net/RAppSplit.zip
You have to use the EXE version with 9.1 as my RBL version doesn't work with
the type 100 (shows up on the RB menu) as yet.
What it does is parses your *.APP multiblock files into individual blocks
that you can copy and paste while you are designing your forms.
There is a helpfile in the zip.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: San Diego Super Advanced Training
thanks. I decided to do the forms and reports from scratch for aesthetic
reasons mostly, but i'm starting to like it. re command files, i've not
even scratched that surface yet. thanks for the tip, but i'm hoping my
cmd
files are pretty clean. the R:> prompt works well for testing commands...

I
found out that the 4.5 code is so sloppy that some commands wouldn't run
in
DOS 7.6. I tested the particular code that breaks and it did run in DOS
6.5. So I worked with RBTI and they let the company purchase a copy of
DOS
6.5 rather than DOS 7.6 and we will convert the DOS app to 6.5. Another
case of RBTI doing whatever's necessary to get these old DOS apps
converted
as quickly as possible!

If by "production" you mean a newly converted database (from 4.5++ to
9.1,
tables and views only), I'm with you. It won't actually be "in"
production
as in running my business with it until after the new forms and reports
are
added. At the rate I'm going, that's gonna take a while. Target: 2- 4
weeks, realistically, 3 or 4 months!
