For me the server is the best. I run a gigabit network so a 10 meg compiled app
runs very fast. If I do an updated compiled app they run it the next time the
click on the shortcut.
I only update the compiled app when rbase pushes out an update. My compiled app
just calls the external form file. So I can make changes to the external form
file while users are on and the next time they open it they get the changes.
Here is my compiled app code to call my external form file.
-- check if during maintenance time then exit
if #time bet '12:00:00 am' and '12:45:00 am' then
exit
endif
property loadwindow showindicator 'True'
PROPERTY loadwindow TITLE 'Loading - Please Wait ...'
PROPERTY loadwindow progress 25
SET VAR vuserchk =(CVAL('NETUSER'))
SET STATICDB OFF
SET ROWLOCKS ON
SET PAGELOCK ON
SET MESSAGES OFF
REFF lance_menu.rff
EXIT

Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - Including Forms in Compiled app
Dan - that's kind of where I was going with that. I've always run it on the
server - but I was thinking that if the forms were local to the PC and it just
had to retrieve data, then it might be faster in those situations where the
network speed was less than optimal. But that introduces the issue of making
sure the version on the local PC is current, so was thinking ahead of how to
control that. Though it doesn't sound like the improvement would be enough to
make a difference. I might test it out tomorrow if time allows.

That brings up an interesting topic. My compiled app is located in a network

It is better to have the compiled app on the users pc?

Dawn,
Then you should be able to place this in an ON AFTER START eep in a form.
SET VAR vCurrentVersion TEXT = '2017.04.30.001'
SET VAR vWhatVersionAmI TEXT = NULL
GETPROPERTY APPLICATION FileVersion vWhatVersionAmI
IF vWhatVersionAmI <> .vCurrentVersion THEN
PAUSE USING .......
CLOSEWINDOW
EXIT
RETURN
ENDIF

Thanks Jan,
Yes, I was thinking check the version, inform the user and exit the program.
Not allowing them to use the old version will force the issue.

Dawn,
Welcome.
1. How much of an improvement (in speed) could one expect by including the
forms in the compiled application vs just keeping them in the db? It will
depend on your network but you should see slight improvement. Forms really
aren't all that big.
2. Checking current compiled version.
Nice idea. I had it a couple years back but it can't be done.
Basically the compiler is running an instance and it can't be copied over it
self.
You can check the version and inform the user that there is a newer version but
not an automatic install.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Including Forms in Compiled app
After an extended leave, I'm back having fun with RBase, even if only part
time! It's nice to see all the familiar names in the group :-)
I don't have a ton of history using the compiler and have a couple questions.
How much of an improvement (in speed) could one expect by including the forms
in the compiled application vs just keeping them in the db?
I thought I remembered seeing something about detecting the version of the
compiled application - but can't find it. I'm wanting to check the version of
the exe against the current approved version and force an update if the user is
using an out of date exe. I have some old scripts that looked at file
information that I might dig out, but I thought someone had posted something on
this recently.....
Thanks!
