123.0. "Uncompiling Development form library" by MISFIT::KINNEYD (Aruba Bound Soon!!) Thu Feb 27 1992 18:40

    I think I saw this discussed in this conference in a previous life, but
    I can't find it here or now.
    
    Once the OA$SITE_DEV_LLV:DEVELOP.FLB has been precompiled and
    installed, how do I reverse this situation. One of my customers gets
    the obsolute version message everytime a minor change in the
    development area is made.

	And tell them not to precompile DEVELOP any more. I wonder if they were trying to improve their debugging performance. :^) Sheesh. K.

	Those of us who deal with customers regularly realize that a significant number of them do precompile DEVELOP. While it does seem a bit silly it isn't that unreasonable especially at sites where forms stay in DEVELOP for extended periods of time. I know that Karl doesn't mean to sound like he is assuming to know more about how to operate the customer's system than does the customer (there is a smiley face, of course). Doing what is right is to always listen and understand the customer and their needs before giving them a lecture about how stupid they are. Place the customer's needs first, don

	Another reason DEVELOP is occasionally compiled is to see if the forms (plural) are going to work COMPILED. For instance, you can have a formset with > 255 fields work just fine UNCOMPILED, but move things out of your typical uncompiled DEVELOP into a live .FLC and watch it stack dump. Frankly, before going live I put my vote in for testing the forms in a compiled environment. Same goes for scripts and boilerplates (which may not break - but may behave differently....)
