What exactly did you do for this? I have all the files in 1 folder, compiled
EXE and .RB*, I know which files to move
to the workstation but I am not sure how to point them back to the RB* files?
Also, would this help the workstation speed very much even without Themes?
Thanks
Marc

Good point Jan but I'm going to disagree with your #3. That issue is totally
dependent on how you set up your complied app. I'm using a combination of
three themes, One to ID regular data entry forms (R:Base Rocks!), one for look
ups (One Cyan) and one for Alert forms (Orange Glass). I too had noticed the
slow down and then John and a few others on list suggested I set it up to have
the Complier files on the user workstations pointing back to the four database
files on the server. So tried it and wow! the start up and theme response is
just like a full install on each workstation without a bit of network change.
Have a Fabulous Day!

Lin,
Not to discourage the use of Themes but there are some things you need to
consider when
using themes.
1. Is this a single user application?
If yes use themes to your hearts content.
2. If multi-user application are you using full R:Base installed on each
workstation?
If yes use themes to your hearts content.
3. If you are in a multi-user environment and using the R:Compiler then;
a. Make sure your network connections are fast. Although 100MBS sounds
fast
a theme like Sports Blue can take about 1.5 seconds to load. 1 GB
network is
much better.
I was recently frustrated by a V8 upgrade by apparent loss of user speed.
However I
tracked it down to my network speed. I have a network hub at 1GB but my
users had 100MB cards.
20 new cards from newegg.com for $12 each saved a lot of frustration.

Is there any way to modify Themes at all? If I want to change the colors
of a theme, is that possible? What if I want to create my own theme and use it
throughout my Application. Is there any way to accomplish that?
