VRev ADK + Val Studio = Best Practice

[Kay C Lan]

Thanks Ivan, the problem was I wasn't closing the db properly in Studio, I
was just selecting another db from the left hand column. Now that I'm
explicitly telling the db to close I've been able to open LiveCode at the
same time.

I did think about the Server, but I have enough trouble just getting my
mind back into Valentina ADK mode that to add any idiosyncrasies regarding
the Server just isn't worth it right now.

A couple of clicks to Close and Open the database is a HUGE improvement
over Quiting and Starting.

Thanks
