To run the SkyWriteApp application:
| 1. | In the Database Explorer, click the Applications option. |
Applications in the current directory are listed. The SkyWriteApp application you just built is listed.
| 2. | Select "SkyWriteApp", and click the "Run Application" option. |
The SkyWriteApp..rba application starts and automatically opens the SkyWrite database. Your application menu bar replaces the R:BASE 11 window.
The application can also be set up to launch directly from a desktop shortcut.
To set up a desktop shortcut for the SkyWriteApp application:
| 1. | From the operating system desktop, right click on the background and select "New" > "Shortcut" |
| 2. | Use the "Browse" button to select the "R:BASE 11" application file (RBG11.EXE). |
| 3. | Click the "OK" button, then the "Next" button. |
| 4. | Change the name to "SkyWrite Ink", and select the "Finish" button. |
Another desktop shortcut will appear with the R:BASE 11 icon with the text "SkyWrite Ink" underneath.
| 5. | Right click on the new shortcut, and select Properties. |
The "Target:" and "Start in:" fields will control what R:BASE will launch, and from what location.
| 6. | Edit the "Target:" by adding a space after the "EXE" name, followed by the SkyWriteApp..rba application file. |
It would read: C:\RBTI\RBG11\RBG11.EXE SkyWriteApp..rba
| 7. | Edit the "Start in:" field to insure it is the folder location where the RBA application file reside. |
It would read: C:\RBTI\RBG11\Samples
| 8. | Click the "OK" button. |
| 9. | Now, double click on the "SkyWrite Ink" desktop shortcut. The application should launch. |
