I have just purchased Alpha Anywhere Ver 12 and am walking thru the BSMA Lessons on building a sample mobile app (very good for a beginner like me)
However, I am not using SQL, I am using DBF files. (I have an old dbf desktop app)
I have built the app two different times and am having a problem with the navigate buttons in Lesson 4 Part 1. When I edit the server side event "onDialogInitialize", Load Primary Key for Parent Table of Dialog, Check "Has custom List View record navigators", and choose "List1" ... I get an error message:
"List 'list1' has not been configured to return the Record Number. It therefore cannot be used as a record navigator. Please edit the List and change the 'Return data type'."
I have list properties set up as follows:
Return value type: "Field" (other choices were Record Number or Expression)
Return field: Cust_ID
Video lesson showed how to set up for SQL and there were settings that were not available on my screen, using DBF files
At this point in the lesson, using SQL, you choose
Return Value Type: Primary Key (not available for DBF)
Then in set
Primary Key: Cust_ID
When I make the changes the error messages suggest: "Please edit the List and change the 'Return data type'." to Record Number, does not fix problem and causes other problems
I am also having a similar problem with getting the "submit" button to sync the list with the individual fields
I think the two issues may be related to me making a mistake with the same Return value type, Return field, and Primary Key entries.
Thanks
Tony
