R:BASE 7.6 for Windows (Build: 7.6.3.30516 or higher) . R:BASE C/S:I 7.6 for Windows (Build: 7.6.3.30516 or higher) . R:BASE Turbo V-8 for Windows (Build: 8.0.17.30516 or higher) When you are close to distributing your developed applications, looking at it from the viewpoint of securing your code, you will notice that "SET TRACE ON" allows for viewing of all Form/External Form EEPs used as "On Before Start", all Label/Report EEPs as "Before Generate..." action. Even if the first command in that EEP is "SET TRACE OFF", the form, label or report won't trace after that command; however, all of the code can be seen by scrolling down before the F10 key is pressed. You don't want your users to have to enter a password to use the form just to keep the code safe from an unscrupulous person who happens to have R:BASE (even the trial version will trace!). Did you know that you can disable the TRACE or ECHO by using the newly implemented option of "Disable Trace" while in Form, Label or Report designer? Now you can secure your code using the "Disable Trace" option. Here's how: While in Form or External Form Designer: Form Properties | Miscellaneous Notice the [ ] Disable Trace option http://www.rbase.com/rbg76/FormProperties_Miscellaneous.jpg While in Label Designer: Main Menu | Label Notice the Disable Trace option http://www.rbase.com/rbg76/LabelProperties.jpg While in Report Designer: Main Menu | Report Notice the Disable Trace option http://www.rbase.com/rbg76/ReportProperties.jpg Enjoy the R:BASE you have always wanted! Very Best R:egards, Razzak. |
