Why are my changes not showing after a compile?

[dcpeders]

Clarion 8, Nettalk 8

When I make a simple change to a entry field and compile, the change does not show.
If I close the Application in Clarion and then reopen it and compile then I see the changes I made.

Why do I need to close the Clarion App in order to see my changes?

I must have a setting wrong in clarion, but I can not figure out what it would be.

Any suggestions or help? please.

Thanks,

Dave Pederson

Dave,

I've had the same issue from time to time.  What I normally do is add a simple line of code somewhere in the procedure I am working in and then change it upon exit of the procedure before I compile.  (Unless I am writing code and then it wouldn't matter.)  Usually I just add "If 1 =1." several times and just delete one when I exit.

Kind of a messy fix but it tricks it into compiling all my changes.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Brad, I'll give it a try.

I haven't proved this for sure but I think that in some editing circumstances you need to 'save' right back to the 'Application Tree' before you compile.  Note that if you don't and you get errors posted in the compile that you can't edit the source until you've saved (and you get an error message to that effect) which is indicative of something not being completed..

It may be good practice to save back to the beginning, I do now and haven't had that problem since.
