I'm counting on you all being brilliant, as usual.
We're having problems porting our app to the server to create a runtime app. We did the same process only a week ago and it worked fine (same alpha build, same app, same directory structure, same porting process, etc.). I've added some tables, forms and reports since last week, but nothing that I would expect to impact the opening of a db. My partner called tech support, but was advised to post a message to the phorum, so here it is.
I created an app on my laptop, using A5V5 full version, build 1506. It runs very nicely on my laptop. I then zipped the app using Alpha's zip tool. My partner unzipped the file on the server (our goal is to create a runtime app and the server is where we have both the development and runtime versions).
Below are the problems we are experiencing BEFORE even attempting to create the runtime app. We tried re-zipping the app and reinstalling on the server. We also tried copying my entire development directory over to the server, but continue to have the same problems.
1.logon dialog failure
The xdialog box never pops up to request login.
2.autoexec failure
The app doesn't seem to run my autoexec script, which hides the control panel for most users, loads some global variables from a setup table, etc.
3.repeating menu bar
The top Menu Bar repeats 6-7 Times across the top of the screen.
ANY SUGGESTIONS? PLEASE HELP! Thanks.
