I'm with you Gunnar.  My form menu is a separate database from the application.
In my form database, each action is a custom eep that merely sets a variable (I use set var runvar = 10)
I then closewindow, return.
My macro disconnects from form database, connects app.
and using case statements:
case 10
  run app10  (actually my app names are more meaningful)
  break
etc.

A long time ago I had the same issue. That�s why I stopped using RBA in favour of a form driven menu that acts on Exit variables closing the form and return to my startup file opening and closing databases at my will. On the other hand if I recall correctly Razzak has previously explained how that can be done! So hang in there if you want to stay in RBA I believe you can but my preference is still not to use RBA

Before I waste any more time on this...

 

Am I correct that if you are running an RBA application

 

You can NOT disconnect and connect to any other database, then return as you could in 6.5++

 

I switch db;s to look at archived data.  If I run the file outside the app, it runs perfectly, but inside the app it gives me an illegal command in eep error.
