Hi
I'm trying to migrate our forms application from a Linux platform to Windows 7. We have a common pll which is attached to all forms and unfortunately relies heavily on globals.
Attempting to run the application with the standard library attached to the login form has the effect that the globals are lost between the login form and subsequent forms. If I incorporate the library code directly into the login form, it functions correctly. If I use the debugger to track where the clearing occurs, it functions correctly.
Does this ring any bells with anybody? Anybody else had this problem or an idea about what could be happening? Something to do with the cache being cleared at startup?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Do directories contain spaces in their names? If so, try to put the application (which includes libraries) into a directory that does not have spaces (such as "c:\my_forms" instead of "c:\my forms").

Does case sensitivity has any role in the whole story?

If none of above helps, no further ideas at the moment.

I will, though, move your topic into the Forms forum. Hopefully, people who are experienced Forms users will see it and provide assistance (I'm not sure they'll notice it if the topic remains here, in the Windows forum). If you'd, however, want it to be moved back, please, report this message to a moderator and it will be done.

Hi Littlefoot
Thanks for your quick reply.
I have made sure that the directories have no spaces in them as well as making sure everything is just right (but obviously not right enough...)
Also thanks for moving the post to the correct area.
