... here. That might not ever happen, but it would be cool. It might be possible to configure Kresin's editor as a development environment ; I'm brainstorming that, but not sure yet.

Hi, This is more of a brainstorming question, rather than anything technical. I'd like to stop using my variant of hungarian notation, because it doesn't really look presentable, and it doesn't fit in with standard modern practice. The ...

Ok, me apetece un brainstorming contigo , eso si con unas pocas birritas. A ver si segunda quincena de Julio podemos montar algo.

This is a "brainstorming" question. In fact, my brain feels like it is having a thunderstorm just thinking about it. Consider there are two computers. One is an XP computer running 1 GB of RAM. The other runs Windows 8.1 ...

Hi and thank you everyone. This is good brainstorming. I think the following code incorporates from all of your ideas. It seems to do the trick. Please advise on your opinion: Change Method Activate() on rPreview to:      if ::oDevice:lPrvModal  ...

Otto, I have three files that I want to update. One stays on the server ( to manage data ), and two go to the workstations ( the client .exe and the .chm file ). The files, individually, are 6.7 MB, 8.1 MB and 5.5 MB. However, when they are zipped for upload to my server, they are a total of 9.0 MB....

Hello James,
I see. My single exe’s are between 2 and 3 MB of size. But then there are word-templates with pictures, FastReport.dll, VRD and some bmp files.
Best regards,
Otto

Otto, Wow, 60MB! I have some very large apps that are less than 2MB. They contain complete business systems: sales orders, purchase orders, invoicing, inventory, customers, vendors, and about 25 reports or so. Of course, all my apps are written OOP style. This means I use a lot less code. E.G. an in...

Hello James,
May I ask what size such a unique exe more or less would have.
A total update of all my files is about 60 MB.
Best regards,
Otto

Hello James, Why so many EXEs? I think it is more clearly arranged. In my case what does a DMS have to do with billing or reservation of rooms? And if there is an error the whole system is blocked. If you have for every task different exe files maybe only a report or something not so important is br...

Otto, Why so many EXEs? There was a time in the way past, when memory was such an issue that we had to resort to such things, but now you can run very large EXEs without problems. >You must keep in mind that most of my clients have only 1 or 2 workstations and sometimes not always a dedicated fil...

Hello José,

thank you.

I started today with the coding of the download client.
I found the nearly ready solution published by Biel.

But there are some open questions, too.

Best regards,
Otto

Otto, >What if a user does not switch his PC on before 20.1.? This is solved by running all EXEs from the server. James Hello James, and if nobody - because they are all on holidays – enters before the 20.1. This is not a joke. You must keep in mind that most of my clients have only 1 or 2 works...
