Dan, If the compiled application is on the server (in the same directory as the database), then what you need in the compiled application is: CONN dbname The shortcut on the local computer would link to the compiled application on the server. However, if the compiled application is on the local computer and the database on the server, then the compiled application would need the command: CONN \\servername\sharename\dbanme <file:///\\servername\sharename\dbanme> And the shortcut on the local computer would link to the compiled application on the local computer.

To connect to the database I use connect \\servername\sharename\dbname <file:///\\servername\sharename\dbname> Dan Goldberg _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of TOM HART Sent: Saturday, September 25, 2010 7:41 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Compiling a 9.0 app If I am reading the help files for 9.0 compiler I can put a compiled app on each computer(with the forms, reports, etc embedded) and it will run much faster over a network than if I only put the app on 1 computer and network to it like the following startup file Main computer connect c:\myapp\dbname Other computers connect \\maincomputer\myapp\dbname What I have been doing is setting a shortcut to the exe file on the main computer. Would the setup above work? Tom Hart
