If a thread or post is found to contain any of the content outlined above, a moderator may choose to take one of the following actions:

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.
- Be professional in your conduct
- Be kind to others
- Be constructive when giving feedback
- Be open to new ideas and suggestions
- Stay on topic
Be sure all comments and threads you post are respectful. Posts that contain any of the following content will be considered a violation of your agreement as a member of the Alpha Software Forum Community and will be moderated:
- Spam.
- Vulgar language.
- Quotes from private conversations without permission, including pricing and other sales related discussions.
- Personal attacks, insults, or subtle put-downs.
- Harassment, bullying, threatening, mocking, shaming, or deriding anyone.
- Sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, or otherwise discriminatory jokes and language.
- Sexually explicit or violent material, links, or language.
- Pirated, hacked, or copyright-infringing material.
- Encouraging of others to engage in the above behaviors.
If a thread or post is found to contain any of the content outlined above, a moderator may choose to take one of the following actions:
- Remove the Post or Thread - the content is removed from the forum.
- Place the User in Moderation - all posts and new threads must be approved by a moderator before they are posted.
- Temporarily Ban the User - user is banned from forum for a period of time.
- Permanently Ban the User - user is permanently banned from the forum.
Moderators may also rename posts and threads if they are too generic or do not property reflect the content.
Moderators may move threads if they have been posted in the incorrect forum.
Threads/Posts questioning specific moderator decisions or actions (such as "why was a user banned?") are not allowed and will be removed.

Re: Script for button that shows user groups & users
As Stan says it is an A5 function.
I have Peter Waynes book if you nedd specific info. His site probably has some stuff on it too.
You will still have problems getting a list - which is what you are after I suspect - of group user permissions like you were chasing in another post. Some of tbe A5 functions no longer work.See our Hybrid Option here;
https://hybridapps.example-software.com/
Apologies to anyone I haven't managed to upset yet.
You are held in a queue and I will get to you soon.

BTW, even if found does that chapter also also applies to an Alpha Anywhere app? Alpha has changed a lot in 8 years.
Thanks for the page number.

Xbasic Workbook Description
Alpha Anywhere Xbasic Workbook
(Formerly Alpha Five: Xbasic for Everyone)
by Dr. Peter Wayne
This classic has a fresh new look!
Only the cover has changed, the content remains the same as in the original book.
Published in 2008, this book gives working examples of Xbasic scripts.
Dr. Wayne has been involved with Alpha Five since its earliest days and is known for his lucid explanations. He takes the reader all the way from an introduction to Xbasic to sophisticated Xdialog, ActiveX, image display, and AlphaDAO and Javascript. You can even "upsize your database" to MySQL.
In addition to teaching Xbasic, Dr. Wayne peppers the book with useful examples showing how to use Javascript and MySQL stored procedures to enhance your enterprise-worthy application.
This book is suitable for Alpha Anywhere & Alpha Five V8-11.
Includes working databases for the exercises and book in PDF format.Alpha 5 Version 11
