Tables Left open in IDE via Preview
Hello All:
ReportBuilder changes any tables it uses to ACTIVE=TRUE in the IDE. This
happens when we preview reports in design mode. All tables are located in
our datamodule.
PROBLEM: When we start our app, if any tables were left open, the app
crashes when the datamodule is created - because - the path to the tables is
different at the client site than in our development environment and the
tables cannot be found.
Our app feeds the datamodule the correct path shortly after the
datamodule has been created.
What would be a clean way to prevent inadvertent releases of .exe files
with the Active=Y ???
We are looking for something other than the obvious answer of test the
exe before release. We already do that but 2% of the time we screw up.
Thank you.

I suspect we've all been bitten by that bug.
I always grep the .dfm for active =
It will only be there for active = true
