mApp Framework problems

[Monte Goulding]

Hey folks. I'm nearly home but I probably won't get to look at mApp stuff until late next week. I'm not sure why things would go haywire when deleting anything because it checks the existence of objects in rules before running the rule. Missing objects are ignored. Most likely reason things might go haywire is rule dependencies (objects used as the side of a rule) in the wrong order. Hmm... You may get odd behavior if a rule dependency is deleted.

Cheers
