Hi guys I've been following this thread with interest since I use val with RR. I call vxcmd directly, not through the RR db libraries. However, like Jacque, I have also experienced difficulties with setting the external at startup. It may very well be my lack of coding ability, but it works in the ide and doesn't work in a standalone, so I think it may be something else. I've tried to get it to happen consistently so that I can report it.
I guess I can't add anything constructive here except that there may be loading issues with vxcmd as well as with the supplied libraries.
