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.

      Ahmed is using a pre-release, which, yes, is warned against, but I too am using a pre-release because the releases often have bugs in them worse than the bugs or lack of features in the pre-release prior or after.

      Ahmed, I'm working on 3417_4101 which doesn't have anything wrong with it that I attribute to this build (except possibly a javascript error on mobile borwsers--I've had a hard time determining what's going on there), but it may be difficult to get the files and if you've saved things in a later build it may not fix them...

        Which is why I "work" with the official release and even then do not automatically jump to it as soon as available. I will "dabble" with pre-releases BUT then wait for them to go live before even considering deploying to a live application.

                Re: i need a version that has no errors

                Ahmed, the prereleases have the word "prerelease" in the URL and all over the page. I'll tell you from my own personal experience that it's time well spent to wait on some level of validation from users on the forum and time between new pre-release builds before installing them.

                I don't jump on them either, Glen, but time and time again I wait for other users to confirm a build seems to be working well and I install it and roll it out only to learn of some random bug a few days later. Often the official release has bugs that can't be ignored, so that's not a consistently viable option either.

                I don't think anyone is going to argue that Alpha's builds are consistently (or ever) bug-free.

                You actually can't get to previous pre-releases, so Ahmed, if you've been downloading each pre-release when they've come out, that is your de facto file source. In terms of what to download, it doesn't matter which build, but builds always need to match between the developer and the application server, and it doesn't hurt to do project backups prior to installing a new build and to do Edit > Bulk Operation > Update Compiled Files for AJAX grids to make sure the javascript in your components works with the javascript files in the build you're using.

                  Re: i need a version that has no errors

                  Does anyone know when these pre-releases will become a proper release? Or indeed if they ever will?

                  I have been waiting for sometime now for a fix for the buggy browse component.

                  I know the fix is in the pre-release that's available for download (by searching these forumns). But I do not want to use a "pre-release" as it rather suggests that this may cause more problems! Especially after reading the warnings on the download site.

                  Come on Alpha why can't you release this properly???

                  I may be forced to switch to another product, if you cannot support your software in a timely manner!!!

                    Re: i need a version that has no errors

                    Is version 11 still actively developed? Do we still get new features that will break something old?.

                    To me is seems that there is just bugs that has been fixed. How many stable releases we still will get?
                    Also developer can use common sense here.

                    Just install the latest per-release. If you then find some bug report it and maybe they still fix it.
                    Of course you can continue to wait stable(?) release and then find the bug but maybe it is then too late to get it fixed anymore.

                      Re: i need a version that has no errors

                      At this stage the v11 pre-releases are very stable. There have been so many bug fixes and improvements since the "latest official release" that I would recommend everyone move up to the latest pre-release. I run nothing but prereleases on a live site for this very reason, but I backup my files before moving over (including your installers) and I test all components offline before making the switchover.

                      With upgrades, you often need to edit (or rebuild) each of your components or they may appear to be broken. They are not really broken, just need to rebuild themselves properly. Sometimes you even need to drill into the builders in order to trigger a full rebuild of all parts.

                      I doubt that enhancements are being made for v11 - which suits me fine as I am very happy with how it performs in my environment. It is not a perfect product and there are still some minor bugs around, but they can usually be worked around without too much fuss. Once you work around a bug or limitation, then you don't notice it anymore and it is not an issue. This is also true with pretty much any other development platform.

                        Re: i need a version that has no errors

                        You install prereleases on all of your clients' servers when theyre released?
                        Many of us dont have the time/luxury to constantly be updating.

                        You cannot afford to constantly upgrade your server version every week. its just not viable in a production situation.
                        Yes, things get fixed when you upgrade. but other things also break.

                        Updating the server version every 2 weeks is impossible, especially when you use 1 version of the IDE.
                        You really want me to install multiple IDEs to support multiple project versions on multiple servers?

                        Its just not viable, imho

                          Not viable for your scenario Scott, I agree. But those of us with 1 or 2 applications can decide when "it is time" to try a newer release without any serious risks.
