Can anybody HELP !!

[Dave]

Hi,

So, you made a Standalone with no Password set in Standalone settings  
that uses the Answer Dialog?  If so, it looks like the culprit is the  
answer dialog. Have you tried deleting all RunRev files Manually,  
Restarting and re-installing RunRev?

Also if you could just write your own Answer Dialog, depending on how  
many times and how complex the calls are to "answer", this may be  
easy or very difficult to do.

One thing that I have done in most of my projects is to define a  
number of low-level library functions to abstract the these kinds of  
dialogs, for example for the simple "answer" dialog I use the  
following template:

funciton UtilAnswerDialog theDialogString,theButtonList
local myResult

if kUseRunRevDialogs = true then
answer theDialogString with theButtonList
set the result into myResult
else
--
--  Do your own thing
--
end if

return myResult
end UtilAnswerDialog

This would allow you to use either the inbuilt answer dialogs or roll  
your own and switch between the dynamically.

All the Best
Dave
