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.

    File Upload - from excel spreadsheet

    Hello Alpha Expert's

    I have a File upload User define function which upload data from an Excel file and insert the data into SQL table, the issue is the first row from the Excel spreadsheet will not get uploaded / get inserted in to the SQL table,
    if the first row (row 2 in excel sheet) is shift down and row 2 is empty the function work fine, it will only insert data starting at row 3 from the excel sheet. Can anyone see why the function is not uploading that first row of data (row 2 )
    The sample of the first spreadsheet will work fine, but the second sample will not work which is how the sheet is exported from legacy system.. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    When you debug(1), what is in the first value seen by xbasic in the array?

        Just check your referring a zero based row in the array - see how that goes.
