As Long as the standalone doesn't need a change, you never need to recompile it (unless you change the name of the stack in the data folder). That was my thought as well. I went through every step in trying to duplicate this behavior. made stack red added btn scripted "go stack Green" saved and clos...

I have no idea. However, I guess a lot and just rebuilt the application stack in the manner you advised before on a hunch and it works again. I had opened the record stack and edited the button script. I assume(yes, I know) that if I make any more edits on the stack I keep the records in I will agai...

That works fine in the dev environment. I opened the stack and pasted the script in the button. When I accessed that stack via the executable, and hit that button, the same text came up again. And for some odd reason when I select and copy the text in that field it only shows this part when I paste ...

Thanks. This is the trouble I expected to have with years away from coding. Remembering little things.
Sorry to hear about Dan Shafer.
And thank you.

Seems that I have another issue with this, hopefully an easier explanation. I added a field"record" and a button to enter my data. The button script is as follows: on mouseUp ask "What is the reading?" put it & "---" &the date&"---"& the time & cr after fld "record" end mouseUp The ask dialogue neve...

I just built a standalone and it works just fine. I didn't use the data folder ( not sure why I ever did). Thanks to all for your help. This was getting me far too frazzled. A project this simple I could have simply used a logfile created in notepad, but using stacks make things expandable. I cannot...

Thank you. I had gotten away from scripting anything for a few years when I began this little project, but I feel certain I was using LC successfully in this manner before and was surprised upon seeing all the successful builds with the .rev extension on them. when I looked for them. As soon as I ca...

My question is "Why can I not build an application with LC in the same manner I did for years using Revolution 4.0"? That manner began with a mainstack, and added substack, a means of navigating from the main stack to the substack (usually via a button script) and whatever fields and other objects t...

I have something that is probably hugely relevant to this and may be the answer to this question. I have been looking at the icons on these stack and while they appear to be LC icons, all of the files that I have described as working and the successful apps I have built with them as I described are ...

Great. One more question before I do. Did yo just want something like the two stacks I have just made, or stacks that I have on board here that did in fact build the way I describe. I also have the built application folder with the app and the substack made from them that does work as it is supposed...

What I mean to say is I do not know how to post to board.

i can and will post it. I can also upload one of my builds that are data free and working with both application as well as the substack that is being saved. I have at least one that is not password encrypted. Two contain information. but I have two blank versions. I would love to have a guru or two ...

I have made two stacks. "Even" (main stqack) and "odd" (substack). Stack script of main stack "even": on preopenStack set the visible of me to true -- else I have to set it's visible to true myself end preopenStack The button script on the main stack "even": on mouseUp hide stack "even" open stack "...

Gaskins,I bought your book! I'm glad to see you are still kicking around with this. I am afraid I am lost as to how to do what you advise. "If you were to pull the cRevStandaloneSettings custom property array from both the working and non-working stack files, we could compare them to ensure every el...

First, thanks for your reply. SInce I never had to do what you suggest in the past I could use some help with what you advised. "or alternately, set the stackfiles of the mainstack to recognize where the data stack is". How do I do that? I take it this will enable me to save the data stack? This is ...
