Yes, there is some code in the On App Open event (below).

I don't know what you mean by "open in Sesame runtime".  I just click on the Preview button when i'm working in the .dsr file.

//Set any defaults and do any checks when the application opens

//Set the variables
Var vTree as INT
var vTreeStatus as Int
var n as int

// Turn on the appropriate menu.  Note that the Basic User has access to the Basic User Menu, the Administrators have access to the MASTER Menu and all else should go to the Presidents Menu.
// Add any new users to the FIRST ELSE statement below!!!

If @Group="Temporary"
{
     vTree = @SelectTreeItem(@Application + "!Forms!Add Data!Menu!Temp employee time")
     SetDefaultTab("Add Data basic user Menu")
}      



If @Group="Basic User" or @Group="Mill Room" OR @GROUP="INSPECTION" or @Group="SETUP"
{
     vTree = @SelectTreeItem(@Application + "!Forms!Add Data!Menu!BASIC USER MENU")
     SetDefaultTab("Add Data basic user Menu")
}


If @Group="President" OR @GROUP="DIM AUDITOR" OR @group="MACHINE" OR @GROUP="PERSONNEL" OR @GROUP="SUPERVISOR" OR @GROUP="MANUFACTURING1" OR @GROUP="MANUFACTURING2" OR @GROUP="PRODUCTION" OR @GROUP="QUALITY" OR @GROUP="QUALITY SUPERVISOR"
     OR @GROUP="TECHNICIAN" OR @GROUP="INSIDE SALES" OR @GROUP="ACCOUNTING" OR @GROUP="SALES_SUPPORT" OR @GROUP="SALES" OR @GROUP="SALES_2" OR @GROUP="DATA ENTRY" OR @GROUP="PURCHASING" or @Group="SHIPPING"
{
     vTree = @SelectTreeItem(@Application + "!Forms!Add Data!Menu!PRESIDENT MENU")
     SetDefaultTab("Add Data Main Menu")
}


if @Group="MASTER"
{
     vTree = @SelectTreeItem(@Application + "!Forms!Add Data!Menu!MAIN MENU")
     SetDefaultTab("Add Data Main Menu")
}

//Close Tree Windows except for Administrator
//vTreeStatus = @CloseCommandArea()
//
//If vTreeStatus = 0 and (@UserID<>"sesame" or @UserId<>"DIACOM")
//{
     CloseCommandArea(1)
//}
//If @UserID="sesame" or @UserID="DIACOM"
//{
//      CloseCommandArea(0)
//}

// Change Tab Titles on Default Menus (Command Lines are CASE sensitive)

As Carl asked: do you have anything in the "On Draw" event of a Startup Form (while also having something in the Global Code of that same form)?

Have you tried running it without that code?

I know that you are using preview. I am asking you to try running it in sesame.exe as opposed to sdesigner.exe as a test. Sesame.exe can open .dsr files if you specify the .dsr file on the command line.

Hello Dietrich,

The Sesame data files can be placed in any directory you want on your computer as long as Sesame has Read and Write permissions to them there. What you can do is create another directory on your system that is purely for the Sesame Data files, such as C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Sesame, Make sure that you as a user have Read and Write permissions to that folder.

Then in the c:\programme\sesame folder you will find a file named rootdirs.ini, open that file in notepad and add a new line to the beginning of the file that is that directory path, ex: "C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Sesame" without the quotes.

Then modify your XLookup programming so that the DB file path includes the full path to that directory, ex "C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Sesame\MyApplication.db"

Hello Ray,

thanks a lot for your help. I'll try that.

Otherwise this solution is very inconvenient, because I often use my data on different computers. Isn't there another data-directory in windows 7, which is equal on every pc and accepted by sesame?
