Library opens and closes

[Martin Obongita]

Hi Doug,
Thank you all for standing in as guardrails in the community. That breakpoint is in its place ASAP. Hoping that it does not open up the app to hacking and/or a bypass route away from the login page. The remote forms should remain protected.

Martin.

 hi Martin.

Now that you are ok…..        It is (or used to be) considered good practice to put a 

breakpoint

as your first line of code in your startup library.    We still do.


Then you wont get caught in this situation again, plus if there is some code you need to change in your startup, or something else you want to run, you have immediate access to changing code, the debugger, or pulling something out of the VCS before continuing.
