Hi list,
Years ago I built a desktop app with LC, and the client is still using
it.
Users of the app work in the same company but are scattered in different
cities. Since there were small differences between cities, I found it
easier to build a slightly different version of the app for each city,
with different login & pwd.
Now the client would like to be able to switch from one app to another
(from one city to another) without quitting the app, launching the app
of another city, entering new login & pwd, etc.
An option could be simply to download the stack & card scripts for other
cities from a remote server and replace the current scripts in the
standalone with new scripts. The app features a main stack and no more
than 10 substacks. The structure (fields, buttons, etc.) are identical,
only the scripts and some data (downloaded at startup) are different.
So my question is : is replacing all scripts of a standalone on the fly
possible ? If yes, is it a good idea, is there any safety issue, and
are there alternatives ?
Thank you in advance.
