windows in runtime solution won't close

[Sandy R]

I've got a solution that opens up a few windows and during the time that the user does their various data entry tasks some of the windows close (or are supposed to). This works fine while using the developer program, however when I create a standalone runtime solution using the developer utilities I run into problems. All of the windows (including the main initial one) open up and the X on the upper right of the window pane is faded out and I can't close any of the windows??

I've looked for some developer utility option for this but can't see anything relevant. Anyone got

any clues?

thanks...Sandy

This is bad news for me as I am currently developing a solution which will require a secondary window to be opened and closed. Hope we can get an answer to this one.

You could always use the close window script command and attach it to a button or script.

Firstly... I always try to encourage my users to utilise some type of exit button, with an Exit Application script step applied.

Reason... I then also fire off some type of backup bat/exe file that performs a backup and it also ensures they don't acidently close a table instead of the app.

As to you problem, I would suggest this is a windows error. I have produced many runtimes and have never seen what you suggest. So I would uninstall your app, and clear any reference to it you may find in the registry and try again.

HTH.

I don't think it is a application error... seem to be a feature in the developer, at least I know in FM Developer 7. What I would suggest doing is what BruceR suggested. You just need to insert an extra line in your script to close the window that you don't need. I have just tried it, it should work.
