Hi,

I'm a beginner with FB7 and am trying it out.&nbsp;

I managed to get a small project running; but, it's mainly an interactive one in that I need to click on Run in order to get the files from the repository and the build it.&nbsp; How do I get FB7 to do the following?

&nbsp; 1) Look at the current tree&nbsp; and check if the remote repository source is updated.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp; 2) If the remote is newer,&nbsp; delete the current working repos, and then checkout the new one.

&nbsp; 3) Build the new source.

Is this do-able in FB7 (Embarcadero edition)?

Ew

Hi   
  
 What you are asking is not possible in the Embarcadero Edition. You would need the Professional Edition with FinalBuilder Server.
