I am evaluating Runtime Revolution, but have been growing increasingly frustrated in attempting to build the shell for a front end database application. Although I have been successful in connecting to a local database via ODBC, I have run into numerous difficulties implementing certain on-form

RE: How to add a field to a stack of 50 cards

1) Create the field on the first card of the stack. In this example, I named it "cardNumber". (See item 6 below.) 2) Group the field, and give the group a name (e.g. "cardNum"). Technically not required, but it makes the process a little less cumbersome. 3) Set the group's backgroundBehavior to t
