Hi,

Sorry for the late answer, but I was away. I use foxtools, Stonefield Toolbox, and I did recompile all. The problem is when I recompile all, I get a bunch of errors (syntax errors) as follow:

I have tried to recompile the sample "Local" application with similar results.

I hope this helps you understanding my problem, and I wait for your answer.
