John, I believe this article says exactly the opposite.
The point of this article is to show how to discover if the app is compiled or not, and then hide any buttons on your forms which would try to access the data explorer.

If I understand this new feature correctly, I should be able to access R> and RBASE Explorer from my compiled application. Unfortunately I cannot get it work. I took the V8 SAT class last year but I do not have the example in RBY15 to look at. Can someone give me the process for making this feature to work.

Friday, December 19, 2008 Tip of the Day #2: Is the Application Compiled or Not? Section: Additional PROPERTY and GETPROPERTY Commands Supported Versions: . R:BASE 7.6 for Windows (Build: 7.6.5.31229 or higher) . R:BASE C/S:I 7.6 for Windows (Build: 7.6.5.31229 or higher) . R:BASE Turbo V-8 for Windows (Build: 8.0.19.31229 or higher) . R:BASE eXtreme (v9) for Windows (Build: 9.0.1.11229 or higher) When designing and distributing R:Compiled applications, your main menu options may include a line item to access Database Explorer or the R> prompt (as demonstrated in RRBYW15). Accessing that particular option would be fine if the end user is using the full version of R:BASE. However, that option would go nowhere if the end user is using the R:Compiled version of the application. Did you know that you can assign a unique Component ID to a particular item or button on your application main menu and then use the following GETPROPERTY and PROPERTY command to manage access to that option? -- Start -- On After Start EEP -- Know if the running application is compiled or not? CLEAR VARIABLE vCompiled SET VAR vCompiled TEXT = NULL GETPROPERTY APPLICATION ISCOMPILED vCompiled IF vCompiled = 'YES' THEN PROPERTY AccessDatabaseExplorer VISIBLE 'FALSE' ENDIF CLEAR VARIABLE vCompiled RETURN -- End Have fun! Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
