Avoid repeated scripts – Global Procedures.

Use ‘$region:<BlockName> to organize procedures

in the Global Procedures dialog

When applicable, use ‘On Error Resume Next’ and

‘On Error Goto 0’ in scripts

Make sure that when using $DBCursorOpen() or

$DBCursorOpenSQL(), call $DBCursorClose() to avoid

memory leaking.

When using the Recipe task, enable the XML format.

When using Thin Clients, enable the SSL option, as well as the Web Tunneling Gateway.

Use IIS Web Server instead of NTWebServer.exe.

Use the Studio Mobile Access solution when applicable and design the screens according to the target typical devices.
