Jaque thanks - this has not solved it yet, but i’m sure you’re on to something. When I delete the revStandaloneSettings, save the stack and re-open it, LC itself simply restores the set to what it was before. If I look closely at the actual properties in the set, I find quite a bit about Windows

Maybe a diary app can be enhanced to include "Talked with this person in person for a few minutes" and "Lingered at this location for a few minutes" checkboxes that might be an aid when interviewed in traditional contact tracing. Those might be used for filtering. This does not add to anything

Woo hoo! It worked! I have never had to re-license LC before, but I did it. You generate an offline file, tell LC that you want to re-licence - it than quits. You turn off the internet (I assumed this would avoid confusion), relaunch LC and choose manual activation. Bingo! Thanks to Brian and J

Re: Livecode and AWS Sql

Same as on Windows, but the difference is that Microsoft has built in drivers for SQL Server, mySQL and some other things. The Mac does not. You have to download the ODBC Administrator (need the 64 bit version you know) and the drivers. This is why I created my Socket based Client Server apps.
