Hi Jacque et al, While it doesn't appear in the dictionary as a separate keyword, 'secure' was introduced into the language in version 2.5, as part of the SSL support for 'open socket' - see: http://docs.runrev.com/Command/open-socket Perhaps the current version of the compiler is a little more

One of the things I do to prevent re-initialization of a card or stack is I create a global, and upon successful initialization I set it to true. I check it's value before initializing and only call the initialization handler if the global is not set to true. This has the benefit of being able

Hi Andy, Good points, all. isConnected() only checks for an Internet connection and is invoked by the OpenStack handler of a stack that represents the splash screen of the app. I will most definitely include a check for the library stack loading. I suspect it is the culprit. After posting
