D.M. Wrider Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Let's say I create a database for someone else...I bind it, creating a runtime application for them. Two months down the road, they want another database/file. Can I create a second file, binding it with the same binding key so that it will also run on their original runtime application?
Oldfogey Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Would the new file be part of the original solution or a new application? If it's part of the original then you would need to re-bind the new total solution. If it's a new application, then you need to bind it on its own. You can't share the runtime files across applications.
D.M. Wrider Posted March 3, 2006 Author Posted March 3, 2006 Okay, that makes sense. So here's another question (probably a "duh," but I'm new with the runtimes!) If I give someone two completely separate runtime solutions, will each open in their correct application even if the extension is the same (eg: USR)? Is that where the binding key makes the difference? Thanks bunches!
SteveB Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) Yes, only files with the same binding key will open. Don't use '.usr' as an extension, as this is used by Adobe (I think). You're much safer if you pick your own extensions...I would make each solution different. There is a site that lists all extensions, and you can freely register yours.
