Salut Tobi,

I use (since gambas1) the project Arguments from the IDE. I set a ISIDE.

Sub chkIfIsIDE()
Dim nI As Integer
    bIsIDE = False
    For nI = 0 To Application.Args.Count - 1
'        PRINT Application.Args[nI]
        If InStr(UCase(Application.Args[nI]), "ISIDE") > 0 Then
            bIsIDE = True
        Endif
    Next
End

So if I don't call my project with a parameter called ISIDE, I can be
sure .I ran in the IDE.

And the use is, I set the first key of my DB to 9999 that is my
Test-Mandant that's just a copy from one of my Mandants in my DB. 
So no problems with crashing DB-data, that's the problem I solved with!.
