Hi Alex,

>Is custom.app run from the server? I assume so as you say it is locked. If it was run from their terminals, as you'd normally do with an EXE then you could use a loader. IOW when they run custom.app the program could check to see if there is a new version in the server. That one is copied to the local workstation and then run locally. The server copy is never used and never locked. Otherwise you won't be able to overwrite custom.app if somebody is using it.

Yes, the app is run from the server. To clarify, here is the process:

- User starts main application.
- User starts custom.app and runs a custom report.
- User exits the custom form (thereby exiting custom.app) but keeps the main app open.
- Custom.app remains locked (even though the user is no longer using it) until user exits the main app.

I'm hoping there is a way to release the app without exiting the app. If not, using the loader and putting the app on the workstaion might work for us.

Thanks.
