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.

    mentoring - how much?

    im at a difficult part of my web app, where i need to convert some code from my desktop app to my web app. i have built all of the grids, pages etc.

    i just can't get to grips with Ajax Callback's and could do with some help with this part of my application.

    Please remember we are a small mortgage services company, developing this for ourselves and not for re-sale, so please be gentle with your fee's.

    this is the sort of code i need to put in to my web app, this is from my desktop.

    Code:
    dim tbl as P
    dim duptbl as P
    dim qry as P
    dim nrecs as N
    dim i as N
    
    tbl = table.current()
    duptbl = table.open("tcommmngr")
    
    filter_process = "process = .T."
    filter_dup = "Duplicate = .T."
    filter_month = "last_renewal<>month(date())"
    filter_recs ="("+filter_dup +") .and. ("+filter_month +") .and. ("+filter_process +")"
    
    query.description = "Dup Recs"
    query.order = ""
    query.filter = filter_recs
    query.options = ""
    qry = tbl.query_create()
    nrecs = qry.records_get()
    
    if nrecs=0 then
        ui_msg_box("No Records", "No records to update")
        end 
    else
    
    
    ui_msg_box("Renewal Commissions", (nrecs + " " + "Records will be updated"))
    
    tbl.fetch_first()
    while .NOT. tbl.fetch_eof()
    
    	duptbl.enter_begin()
    	duptbl.productid = tbl.productid
    	duptbl.commdate = date()
    	duptbl.commtype = tbl.commtype
    	duptbl.commamount=tbl.commamount
    	duptbl.dripreceipt=tbl.dripreceipt
    	duptbl.CASEREF=tbl.CASEREF
    	duptbl.provider=tbl.provider
    	duptbl.caseparent=tbl.caseparent
    	duptbl.SOURCE=tbl.SOURCE
    	duptbl.client_name=tbl.client_name
    	duptbl.adviser = tbl.adviser
    	duptbl.enter_end()
    	
    	tbl.change_begin()
    	tbl.last_renewal=month(date())
    	tbl.PROCESS = .F.
    	tbl.change_end()
    		
    	tbl.fetch_next()
    end while
    
    'tbl.close()
    duptbl.close()
    qry.close()
    
    topparent.Commit()
    topparent.Resynch()
    topparent.Refresh_Layout()
    
    ui_msg_box("Renewal Commission Processing", (nrecs + " " + "Commission Records have been updated."))
    
    
    end if
    and this

    Code:
    'create a report for each adviser, save to file and email

    		ui_msg_box("Alert","No Adviser chosen")
    	END IF
    end if
    
    :Report.Preview("commission summary",filter2,query.order)
    also, along the way there have been a few very small parts of my app that i had difficulties with but didnt impact future development. So ill need to review these at the end and will need help with those.

    Hi Richard

    I would be happy to help. I am sure we could come to an amicable arrangement on my fees; apart from me doing the work I would be happy to teach you a little also.

    I know you have had some help from Steve Workings on this board; well Steve and I have done some work together on various projects.

    I you would like to chat about this either drop me an email and we can Skype or call me
