R:azzak,
Right now, I am using a compiled executable on the server along with the
database that holds the forms and reports. I have a few questions about
pre-loading component in the compiled application.
We currently update several forms/report on the fly (as they are still
evolving) by just loading them into the database from within the System
Maintenance Form in the application. This works great because we do not have
to update the executable on the server or the shortcuts in the
workstation.simply load the forms/reports and they are good to go next time
they are called.
If I include the forms/reports in the compiled executable, what would happen
if I load a newer version of a form/report? Obviously it would be loaded in
the database and not in the compiled application.
When the newer form/report is called from within the application
Does R:Base it still read it from the compiled application?
Or will the form/report just loaded into the database override the
form/report in the compiled executable?
The next question is about themes. There are a few themes that are used more
than other and I would like to pre-load them into the compiled executable
but still make the rest of the themes available.
Does R:Base look for the theme in the compiled application first, and if not
there, look for the RBThemes9.dll file?
Or if the RBThemes9.dll file is present, does R:Base go directly there and
ignore the pre-loaded themes?
I am almost finished with the conversion to 9.0 and I just have one form
left (that has lots of connections to another R:Base) that is still giving
me problems; hopefully I should have it debugged in the next day or so.

That unique feature alone is among the biggest highlights of a
compiled application using R:BASE eXtreme 9.0. Not to mention the
protection and security of your code, along with everything else
embedded and distributed as compiled application resource files.
Along with your forms, external form files, reports, and labels,
you may also embed external theme files, R:BASE Engine, Custom
Plugins, and DLLs.
2010 Annual R:BASE Conference includes a session to demonstrate
the use of such technique and more ...
