So I have developed a Rev application and I burnt it onto a CD. When I go to another machine and copy it from the CD to the computer, the file that is now on the computer is "read only".
Hi Greg,
Since you write "file", not "files", I assume the file is a standalone Revolution application created by the Distribution Builder. That standalone will always be read only: neither Windows nor Unix allow applications to modify themselves, so Revolution standalones are not modifiable.
If your application makes changes that must persist beyond runtime, those changes must be stored in a text file, external database, or external stack. The general approach is to create a "splash screen" standalone that opens the "real" stack, which is seen as an external file to the user.
