"Some developers prefer to use a launcher (or splash) stack technique.
This technique builds a standalone using a stack with very little code
in it. In this case the stack used to build the standalone will not have
a substack whose name begins with "Data Grid Templates" as no data grids
have been added to it.
In this case you will need to create a substack that tricks the
Standalone Builder into adding the necessary stack files. From the File
menu, create a new substack of your launcher stack (1).
Name the substack "Data Grid Templates Dud" and save your launcher
stack. Now if you build a standalone application the Standalone Builder
will include the necessary data grid stack."

I've used this trick and find it works.

I have a lot of 'quick' stacks around that are too specific and tiny for
each to have its own engine - what I've been doing is compiling a standalone
'Launcher' that looks at a web folder and lists the available stacks.
i then select one and launch it via the 'go URL' command. Slick. Inspired by
Ken Ray's invention. It can also upload stacks.
I can then use any of these stacks anywhere with no IDE. Very nice except I
can't seem to make datagrids work on stacks that are used this way. I was
able to ascertain that indeed the substack with the datagrid template was
there. But the datagrid just won't respond.
I've tried start-using but it seems to have no effect.
I've read the piece on how to add the datagrid to stacks assembled in the
standalone creator, however this is different.
I don't change the splash stack - everything other than the engine and
libraries live in the current stack.
How do I connect the datagrid to the substack in this situation? It's a
drag to have two pieces , but since this is on the same stack file,
shouldn't this just work?
thanks for any help
