I have a solution I am developing separate to the current working solution that users are connecting to. I just want to be absolutely clear what I have to do before activating the new version of the solution as it will be a nightmare for me if the users are unable to carry on with their normal work. This is what I think should happen - All clients should be closed and the new version of the solution in the repository should be activated. Clients then re-open the same solution name they always use and all should be using the newly activated solution. If all correct above can I go back to the previous version of the solution by following the same procedure if I need to? Are there any other issues I should consider? Sorry if this may seem over cautious but I couldn’t find any exact step by step instructions on how to move between different versions of solutions and I want to make sure it’s right. I’m using Servoy 3.5.1 build 514 by the way. Thanks for any help. ---

> Graeme: > This is what I think should happen It works the way you think. You can also use the function application.getSolutionRelease() to get the current release number. If you show that somewhere on a form, you can see for yourself on which release your are. > Graeme: > I’m using Servoy 3.5.1 The version you use is very old and a lot of fixes have been done since then. I advice to upgrade at least to 3.5.12 or -a lot better- to Servoy 5.2.
