I have several drop downs that are populated by database queries so that they are always updated with the most current values. They work fine in designer, but once I launch the client, they are all red with the broken query symbol over them. Is there a checkbox I’m missing for these? ---

Figured it out. Need to enable client permissions in the project properties window. By default nothing is checked. ---

FYI For future reference, it may help to make them named queries. Named queries are able to run without having to enable that client permission which can help keep security/permissions under control better.
