Vista Question

I haven't been reading all the posts lately, so excuse me if you have talked this to death and I ask the most basic of questions. Vista is coming out. Will the software I created on my Mac using the old studio version of Revolution 2.7.1 have any problems with Vista? I don't have video or anything

Problem saving a standalone

Hi all, In my search to find out why my stack is aborting the Save a standalone process, it appears that the last thing that is being done is copying externals. Since they haven't changed at all since I previously compiled the stack, it must be the very next thing that is the hang up. Anyo

Tereza, >>> Bill, you mean if I unlock the stacks at runtime, the stacks will run normally? Can I do that just once during execution and they'll be unlocked in memory for the duration? If so, maybe I can set the passkey(s) at startup EXCEPT in the presence of the IDE and thereby deny script-readin
