Hi All.
I've not been rev'd up for a while now (new job kept me away). I was
looking at the threads regarding saving database data in a file.
I'm just trying to get my head roung the grand plan before I do down the
wrong path like the last time (see database tutorial thread)
Some suggested that you could have a data directory with stack in it and
have the standalone reference this... Eureka I thought!!!
OK tall me if I'm right on this please.
Can I have a premade database eg bob1 and make a standalone. Then have a
stack file eg baddresstemplate.rev and have the data put in a .rev fiel.
Would it be something liek this (note: the syntax is made up)......
On mouse up (on a button called new entry)
Copy addresstemplate.rev to directory C:\Bobdata
put the text of field "bobs address" into field1 of card1 of stack
addresstemplate.rev
end mouse up
is this the way to do it?
Cheers
Bob
