Hi Bill, In the error msg I saw a reference to "openstack". In LC 9 (started in RC-1 I *think*) we no longer lock messages when building a standalone. This was necessary to fix other problems and it is mentioned in the 9.0.0 Release Notes under the section "Breaking Changes". So I wild guess is t

I can say it is more complicated than the number of LiveCode stacks though (just built a 3 stack app as a test). Any idea where in the 9 release cycle this became an issue?

Found solution: Don’t use LC 9.0.0. When I add more than one “.livecode” stack in the “Stacks” list, I get the errors referred to in the original posting However, when I use LC 8.2.0 (DP 2), I get a standalone. No errors. I’ll see if I can make a sample stack and report this as a bug. Best, Bill

With regard to formatForPrinting for Windows, the dictionary says to set the property *before* you open the stack. I'm probably just being thick, but how do you set the property of a stack that is not open? Does this really mean to set it to true, save it, close it and then reopen it in order to

This all came about because with XP, if you logged in as an administrator account, any process that launched in that session ALSO ran as an administrator, which meant that it could modify system files. It was like a petri dish for malware. Just clicking to preview an email could ruin your day.
