Please help!

I have an application that uses a number of datagrids to display information from a database plus a simple datagrid that I populated with two rows of tab delimited data (i.e. nothing to do with the database.

In the IDE all is well.

When I build the application for Windows and Mac the datagrids are displayed but they refuse to accept mouse input or get updated from the database. I have confirmed that the datagrid templates stack is included in the list of stacks.

I have tried everything I can think of can you help?

Hi Simon,

quick guess:
Did you password protext all your stacks incliding the "Datagrid Templates..." stack in the standalone builder?
If yes, leave at least the TEMPLATE stack unprotected

Hi Klaus,

No I have not but I have the solution : read the documents!

My app uses a Splash stack and I had completely missed that I should include a dummy datagrid templates stack of the splash stack. So in a note to myself include sub stack named "Data Grid Templates Dud" as part of the SPLASH stack.

Doh!

Hi.

Do not beat yourself up too much. The dummy DG is one way to get around the problem, but it is not obvious. I had to fail as you did before I hunted around and found the same solution.

And I have been bitten by the password thingie before

Thanks for your kind words, these problems always reveal themselves at the eleventh hour to a deadline.
