Hi,
I've spent about twenty hours trying to understand why my Standalone didn't work under OS9. Now that it works, I hope this helps someone else.
I have a library stack which is opened by the main stack in the preOpenStack handler. This library stack makes calls to the Database Library - which is included in the STAB settings.
At long last, I spotted the message from Jan Schenkel
http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-revolution/2004-June/038008.html
which suggests that if your external/library stack needs an external (such as the database library)
then you must add the main stack to the stacks in use. (This is not at all obvious!)
Specifically, in your main stack:
on preOpenStack
-- if this _is_ the main stack then...
if the short name of this stack = "MyMainStack" then
if the short name of this stack is not among the lines of the stacksInUse then
start using stack (the short name of this stack)
end if
end if
-- Now add the external library
if "myExternalLibrary" is not among lines of stacksInUse then
���� start using stack "myExternalLibrary"
�� end if
pass preOpenStack -- don't forget!
end preOpenStack--
Before I fixed this, the Standalone would throw an error whenever the external library code tried to use the revdb library. (But only in OS 9)
