I've been reading both Devin's and Jacque's posts, and there is definitely something weird going on with database access in Rev, especially when it comes to built standalones. So I have something I'd like someone to verify for me and see if you get the same results. If so, I'm going to report this as another database bug.
1) Create a new stack with two fields and two buttons (or just get creative :-) 2) Open the database query builder and create a new query to connect to a Valentina database (you can download my database from www.readnaturally.com/Internal/RNSE/data.zip). Set the path and all that, then click the Connect button. You should be able to connect okay. You shouldn't have to change anything on the Record Set tab. 3) Close the query builder and connect the fields and buttons to the database. Set field 1 to display first name, and field two to display last name. Set button one to move to the previous record, and button two to move to the next record. 4) Hit the browse tool and you should be able to move back and forth between two different records. 5) Now for the fun. Build a standalone and include the database library. Run the standalone and see if the app connects to the database. My guesses are that it won't. 6) Try playing with the externals, setDatabaseDriversPath, etc. and see if you can make it work. If you can, you're my hero and I'll be eternally grateful for any input you can provide, but you probably won't be able to. The Rev docs say, and I quote, "If you check the "Database Library" option in the Distribution Builder, all the supporting scripts for the Database Query Builder are included in the application (although the Database Query Builder window is not), along with the Database library external. You don't need to do anything more to make automatic database queries work in your application." It sounds like part of this has been fixed as far as the necessary scripts being included (thanks to Jacque), but the part about not having to do anything else to use automatic queries doesn't seem to be true. I am experiencing these issues in both Windows and Mac builds. If someone has a bit of free time and can try this out, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm in the same boat as Devin and really need to get this working, and it sounds like to me that the issues are related.
