Hi All, Just thought I'd save someone else days of searching and experimenting by handing out this tip -- even if not many may find themselves in this sort of situation.
Here's the deal : - my app edits xml documents, in a multiple document interface ; to this end, it clones a certain substack of my mainstack ; these clones are the editor stacks in what follows - because there are certain other stacks that need to be called as sheets from these editor stacks, I clone these as well, and make the clones substacks of the editor stack - after the nhecessary stacks are cloned and the mainstacks set, I send the editor stack a message that triggers it to read the xml file, build a tree and prepare for edit. - so far so good ; the thing is that I didn't have any problem inside the Revolution IDE, but once compiled it didn't build the tree and I didn't get a warning even though I had included error reporting in the distribuilder After a lot of searching and experimenting, I found that because the editor stacks were no substacks of my app's mainstack, they had no access to the revXML library, even though it had loaded correctly, as other parts worked just fine. Some more experimenting led me to setting the editor stack's externals at preOpenStack (the earliest message it could get) to 'revxml.dll', but that meant that the externalFunctions were still unavailable. In the end I just moved all the XML logic to another spot, within my app's mainStack. Now it all runs fine. Still strange to see that the editor stacks didn't have access to the externals that were loaded in memory. [*] Hope this helps someone... Jan Schenkel.
