Thanks to those who helped me set up the icon for R:Base 6. for DOS!
Now another strange issue: when I open up the database, something that's never
happened before is occuring. I can't modify forms,reports, views, etc. With
views and database design, I get no error message - it just doesn't work. With
forms or reports or labels, I get immediately kicked out of R:Base with no
error message that I can read.
Path includes the location of RBase 6.1a, c:\rbdos61a.
Any ideas what to look for?

Marc,
Setup a desk top icon with the "start in" pointing to the database and the
"target" pointing to your compiler files. It is definitely faster when your
are loading the program and is much faster if you are using themes. The only
downside is that it is a little harder to update because you have to update
each PC when RBASE is updated.

>>have the Complier files on the user workstations pointing back to the
four database files on the server.
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?
