Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the boost. I really do feel quite overwhelmed (see more below*)!
In regard to the end product, the user doesn't even have to install
anything? Simply zip the exec and the "externals" folder and send it?
Am I understanding you correctly?
*"Overwhelmed" is my mental state at present. I coded in Visual Basic
for a few years and making the paradigm shift to LC is weird. I am only
coding with a trial license and it is going to run out and LC ain't
cheap. Also, I have mentors offering to assist in learning
VisualBASIC.NET and C#.NET and there is no cost to do this. I wish LC
had a 90-day trial. :(
A couple of questions..
Do you know if I purchase the personal license and code in it until I
am ready to go commercial and *then* upgrade to a commercial license,
will my apps upgrade too or will I have to recode/recompile??
Hmm... I forgot the other question. <frown>
Maybe this is not the place to ask these questions, but I have to start
somewhere.
Thanks for the help,
Calvin

Calvin,
Don't let the vent thread scare you. Some here have been using LC for
quite
a while, and usually it's the little things that make you want to
vent. The
big things Rev has been doing a great job with!
LC apps do compile to an EXE. It's not 100% self-encompassing, though,
meaning it may need some DLLs that live next to it (in an "externals"
folder); In your DB example, there'd be a DLL for the database
functions in
there, but LC takes care of all of this for you. Your end-user will
never be
the wiser, and there's no runtime to install.
Jeff M.

Hi,
I have just begun in LC and frankly, some of the comments in the
"Vent!" thread scares me! Also, I have/am reading all the FAQ stuff I
can, but it's tough to sort it all out at his time, so if I ask a
inappropriate(read: "dumb")question, just send me to my room. PLEASE
don't hit me?!?
I have a graphics-dragging app that has been coded and complies into a
single exec. Do all apps created in LC compile to a single exec, say
an app that has a database?
Thanks for the help... I'm gonna need it!
Calvin
