It cannot be done in Rev or MC 4.0 at all because of some new internal
hoohah Rev put into the engine? Rev spit out an error without telling
me what caused it, just a bunch of mish mash number sets that looked
like RGB color codes. MC said the engine wasn't a valid Metacard
engine.

<br>
I tried so many things I don't remember exactly but as best I could
tell, I couldn't even use MC 4.0 with the 3.5 engine. I had to launch
MC 3.5 and build with the 3.5 engine.
<br>
<br>
Tired and frustrated and taking a break before I test the build. I had
wanted to use a more recent version so that the build would be loving
the newest operating systems.<br>

Utterly miserable at the moment.

Umm . . . poor you . . .<br>
<br>
Well here are a few fairly daft thoughts, but, you never know:<br>
<br>
1. What is wrong with building a standalone with the 3.5 engine?
Unless you are doing<br>
something fancy with the 4.0 graphic capabilities this really
shouldn't be here or there.<br>
<br>
2. Try and build a MC 4.0 via Jacque Landman Gay's automated setup via
RunRev 4 and<br>
(new) RevOnline; and then try building with that: probably a
better bet than an earlier<br>
version of MC with a swapped engine from RunRev 4.0.<br>
<br>
3. "new internal hoohah"; I wonder if you might not be using some sort
of coding that<br>
was changed between 3.5 and 4?<br>
<br>
Of course it will be another hoohah searching through the
documentation to find all<br>
the stuff that has or hasn't been changed between 3.5 and 4.0.<br>
<br>
4. "I had wanted to use a more recent version so that the build would
be loving the newest operating systems."<br>
<br>
I wouldn't bet on that one. As far as I can tell 3.5 standalones
should be OK on Windows XP, V and 7,<br>
Mac 10.3.9 onwards and recent Linux distros.<br>
<br>
