As part of an ongoing issue with screen flickering, we have determined that the issue happens only on the Windows 7 workstations. While trying to set the application to the compatibility mode, a message is displayed indicating that this setting cannot be changed on a network drive. I am thinking about installing copies of the executable on the local drives to see if it helps, and where we can try running it in the compatibility mode. I was thinking about creating an external form front end that checks the current version against the one in the server and if a newer version is found, it would copy it to the local drive; has anyone done something like this? If yes, are you using the mapped drive path or the UNC path to the database files? Is there an advantage in using one over the other? TIA.

The start-up file does create these settings but I thought I would place a button in a particular portion of code to enable/disable messaging for debugging purposes. Look like it will work for a particular user without affecting other users, which is exactly what wanted to do.

Javier, SET MESSAGES ON/OFF and SET ERROR MESSAGES ON/OFF settings are R:BASE session specific settings. My time & schedule permitting, the next topic will explain those settings in details. Having said that, if your startup command or DAT file enforces those settings, then all users/R:BASE sessions connected to the same database, using the same startup command or DAT file will use same settings. Hope that explains.
