Hello,
I am writing this post out of my frustration... :(:(
2 days ago I had a component working without any issues. Till I changed a very small detail (I added a field in one panel).
The customer calls me very angry when he click on the list nothing happens...
I spent 5 hours on this, trying to guess what's going on (And having to answer the customer every 30min). My mistake I did not redo a test from the beginning and tested the 3 lists... I assumed adding a textbox in a panel was not a big deal. just seeing it updated was enough.
at the end of the day I had to make a turn around and remove the list detail to make it work.
Latter on in the evening I read in the forum that this was a bug and it is fixed... (I forgot that I had updated alpha before)
Now again a different problem I am trying to add a join in one of the list.. This time of course it needs testing so I don't have any customer on my back.
Nevertheless I am having a very weird message (See attached). I looked and re-looked for 3 hours and still nothing.. The only thing I can think of is delete the list and build it again from scartch (I am tired of this)..
I will be glad if anyone can help..
I like alpha a lot but the biggest problem is that when it is not working we are always wondering if we are doing it "the alpha way" or Is it a bug? How can this be accomplished? etc..
It is true, as a developer we gain a lot of time because Alpha make difficult task simple... But at the same time sometimes very small task takes so much time.. (Maybe all the time saved previously).
Doe any of you get questions like "is alpha really the right tool" or I am the only one.
Anyway...
I am attaching screen shots of the error and the list property...
Thanks for any help
Paul
