Take my yes vote for changing forms and/or reports in a live database as
well. R:Base will simply use the older form as long as it is in use, but
the next time it is called, it will use the new one. The entire form is
loaded when called, so there is no confusion. It an additional button is
added, it won't magically appear on an open form, but will be there the
next time the user calls the form.

I'm with Karen. Since 7.6 I have not any issues changing reports and

I wouldn't agree with that. I've never experienced a problem
changing a form or report while
someone might have had it open

Dan,
To be honest I think there is also a risk changing reports / forms
while users are busy.

I am sure you know the pros like securing your forms,reports,etc
inside the exe.
A con for me is if there is an urgent fix on an embedded report or
form I cannot apply it until everybody is out of the compiled app.
Which is not possible during work hours.
If the report or form is with the database I can make the change
and tell the user to run it again.
I guess I can create a login script to copy the compiled app to
the users desktop and go that route.

Can you elaborate on the pros and cons?

I do include them in all my compiled apps and would recommend
others to do the same, makes updating much simpler

I would think they would not because they are separate

them in the database.

If I have a compiled app that runs from a button on my main
menu(which is also compiled), will forms, reports, etc carry to
the app from the button. I know that they all apply to the main
compiled app, but do they to others
