Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Grid Body Can Scroll and Summary Value Issue

    I have a simple grid which pulls records via an SQL query. It is display only, has fixed column widths with Grid Body Can Scroll checked and a Detail View to update records.

    One of the columns ("Charge") is numeric, is the rightmost column in the grid, and I've set the field's properties to yield a Total Summary Value to show on the last page only. When the grid displays and I switch to the last page I find that the label "Total" actually appears in the "Charge" column, with the value cut off as it extends beyond the right edge of the grid. Aesthetically it stinks but the only important thing is that my clients can't read the total. There's no way.

    I did some experimentation and created a simple read-only grid with the same columns to eliminate any customization issues I may have introduced in the original grid. What I've found is that the culprit is the "Grid Body Can Scroll" property. If this is NOT checked then the Total field appears appropriately; otherwise, the total itself is pushed off the right edge of the grid.

    Has anyone run into this issue? I am using the latest Pre-release (since my clients NEED to have published session variables in their grids) but my guess is that this problem exists in the last release Build (I don't have it installed to check). Reason I ask is that my understanding is that I can't submit a Bug report for the pre-release but CAN for a released Build. Of course I'm willing to allow how this might be "pilot error"; in particular, and I haven't thought about this, perhaps logically Grid Body Can Scroll and Summary Values on the last page are inconsistent. Don't know, but thought I'd ask.

    Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    Re: Grid Body Can Scroll and Summary Value Issue

    You CAN submit a bug report for a pre-release. This is the only way Alpha knows of the bugs to fix for the next release. Essentially... there is no difference between a pre-release and an official release. There should be, but there isn't. An official release from Alpha always has bugs. These bugs are fixed in a pre-release. A week or so ago there were 4 official releases in one week... each subsequent official release was to fix bugs in the prior official release. Submit your issue... along with a test case... and explain the issue simply and clearly. If it's a bug it'll usually be fixed within a day or two. If it's not a bug you'll usually get back an explanation of what's going on.

    This is from the pre-release page notes...

    If you encounter any type of bug while using this pre-release build, please send information about the bug (including full instructions on how to duplicate the issue, and a test case that we can run on our own machines) to [email protected].

      OK, thanks, I seem to remember an admonition regarding pre-releases and bug reports, unfortunately, at my age that's as much information as I can retain at one time. :)

      I'll send them a sample project with the grid, they can test it in working preview if they want.
