Yeah, that would be an update nightmare if you had to get the .exe to everyone's computer!

The users have a shortcut to the exe on the server. That way when an update comes out I update the dll and recompile the exe on the server. Nothing has to be done with the users.

I do recompile the applications after every update. Presently I have the DB files and the CFG files on the server (G) drive. Thankfully I embedded the DLL file into the compiled app. If I decide to not embed the DLL I now know to have it on the server. However I thought the compiled exe was to be copied to each individual computer's C drive, not the server. Do I have that wrong as well? So now I have: Server (G) drive DB files Rbengine95_64.CFG file Each Individual C drive Compiled application (.exe) file with embedded DLL file. Is this not correct? Is the compiled exe file supposed to be on the server as well?

Februar 2016 12:25 An: [email protected] Betreff: [RBASE-L] - Rbengine95_64.DLL Recently on the list there was a discussion regarding compiling with the embedded engine VS outside the application. I saved the thread and just reviewed it. All this time when people were taking about embedding, I thought they were talking about the CFG file. Now I see that is not the case. (Sorry for my ignorance) So here are a couple of questions? 1) If I decide not to embed, do I just copy the DLL file to my server? 2) I noticed the DLL date changes. What causes the DLL file to change? James Belisle Making Information Systems People Friendly Since 1990 [cid:[email protected]]
