Brad,
Take that first and most important step to clean all external forms
and/or command files with redundant CONN/DISC statements and see how it goes.
Make sure that you are NOT embedding the RBENGINEXE.DLL file inside
the compiled app. Keep this file outside along with your compiled EXE
in the same folder.
And, feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
Very Best R:egards,

Thanks for all the tips, Razzak - looks like an all-nighter for me
to re-work logic with compiled apps (half a dozen to do in all).
Yes, the tool enhancements are much appreciated - will keep in mind
through the process.
I've noticed even one connect statement called from one of the
command files does connect, but then, bails to r> prompt in tracing
mode. Something rudimentary wrong here, and out of the blue, all of
the sudden...
Thanks again,
Brad

Brad,
I love the new R:BASE X Enterprise Compiler that comes with so many
cool tools and features. Of course I am biased :)
Have you seen all new compiled R:BASE X Enterprise sample applications?
Without knowing all details, it is difficult to make any recommendations.
It is probably a good idea to remove all CONN/DISC statements for
each item in the menu(s) of your application or each command file.
Your application startup file, or the "On Before Start EEP" of your
main application external file should validate and/or establish the
CONNection only once.
Did you know that ...
You can highlight all your External form(s) and/or command files and
search for any keyword using the (Ctrl+F] keys?
That should help you identify all occurrences.
Also, make sure to keep the Engine DLL (RBENGINEXE.DLL) externally
in the same folder with your compiled .EXE.
You may also take a close look at all compiled sample applications
to understand the proper logic of using compiled applications in a
network multi-user environment.
Hope that helps!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
