R:azzak, I have a couple of question that I have asked before but I don't believe I got an answer. The standard theme for all of our forms us Longhorn; however, users can select any other theme they want and it is stored with their login information. I have code in the "After Start EEP" of every form that checks if the user's selected theme is different from Longhorn, and if it is, then the new theme is enabled via PROPERTY command.
Can I embed just the Longhorn theme and maybe a couple of other popular themes in the executable, but if a user selects one that is not embedded, will the system default to the RBThemes9.DLL file? If the RBThemes9.DLL is present, will it override the embedded theme? Currently, we update some forms periodically and we can load them on the fly, even if users are connected (very handy). However, If a standard form is embedded with the application and I need to update that specific form, Is the only way to do it to recompile the application? Thanks in advance for your help.

External Form Files . R:BASE Forms . R:BASE Reports . R:BASE Labels . Themes (.msstyles, .theme, .uskn, .kskn, .xskn, .mskn) . Runtime Licenses . Plugins (.rbm) . Misc. Files, including: - R:BASE Command Files .dat .rmd .cmd .app .eep - R:Charts chart files (.rbc) - R:BASE Gateway Import/Export Specification files (.rgw) - R:Mail Editor Template files (.rmt) In addition, you may also embed the R:BASE Engine file(.dll) into the compiled executable, as well as define the executable to allow only one instance of the compiled application. Once the project is deployed, managing embedded resources for your compiled application is as critical as keeping up with the updated versions of R:BASE. In addition to re-compiling and distributing the new compiled executables, using the current version and update of R:Compiler 9.5, you will also need to make sure that you have included the updated versions of all External Form Files, Plugins, and Misc. Files, if updated. Did you that you can Update External Form Files, Plugins, and Misc. Files by simply using the right-click and select Update option?
