Retrieving Script From A Compiled Stack

Greetings All, I have a mess. I wrote a database stack that had some pretty sophisticated scripting. I have a number of copies of the compiled stack, but I cannot find the original code anywhere. Is there a way to retrieve the script from a compiled stack? Your help is much appreciated. Sincerely, J...

Re: Speeding Up ODBC Query

Mark,

I am completely confused. Is this a function of the ODBC Query, or is it a LiveCode scripting issue? What LiveCode command/function would I use to pass such a query? I'm not sure how to proceed.

Thanks,
John

Re: Using VB Scripting To Control Quicktime

Klaus,

Thanks for your speedy reply. Initially I couldn't get your suggestion to work. However, I tried changing the name of my "Plugins" folder to "Externals" and now it works great.

Thanks again,
John

Re: Using VB Scripting To Control Quicktime

Klaus, This looks like it might be just the thing I need. However, I don't seems to be able to get the plugins to load when live code starts up. I put the "EnhancedQT.dll" & "Enhanced.bundle" files into a folder ~/Documents/My LiveCode/Plugins. I told LiveCode to check in ~/Documents/My LiveCode for...
