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.

    Setting up function for current week

    I have the following code from a SQL website about creating a current week function. Can someone help me convert it to xbasic so I can use it for my shedule? I'm in the baby steps of learning and this looks too complicated for me.

    DECLARE @day INT
    DECLARE @today SMALLDATETIME
    SET @today = CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 101) AS SMALLDATETIME)
    SET @day = DATEPART(dw, @today)
    SELECT DATEADD(dd, 1 - @day, @today) Sunday,
    DATEADD(dd, 2 - @day, @today) Monday,
    DATEADD(dd, 3 - @day, @today) Tuesday,
    DATEADD(dd, 4 - @day, @today) Wednesday,
    DATEADD(dd, 5 - @day, @today) Thursday,
    DATEADD(dd, 6 - @day, @today) Friday,
    DATEADD(dd, 7 - @day, @today) Saturday
    Above script can be converted in function.

    CREATE FUNCTION dbo.udf_DisplayCurrentWeekDateDays
    (@today SMALLDATETIME)
    RETURNS @WeekDateDay TABLE
    (
    Sunday SMALLDATETIME,
    Monday SMALLDATETIME,
    Tuesday SMALLDATETIME,
    Wednesday SMALLDATETIME,
    Thursday SMALLDATETIME,
    Friday SMALLDATETIME,
    Saturday SMALLDATETIME
    )
    AS
    BEGIN
    DECLARE @day INT
    SET @today = CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), @today, 101) AS SMALLDATETIME)
    SET @day = DATEPART(dw, @today)
    INSERT INTO @WeekDateDay (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday)
    SELECT DATEADD(dd, 1 - @day, @today) Sunday,
    DATEADD(dd, 2 - @day, @today) Monday,
    DATEADD(dd, 3 - @day, @today) Tuesday,
    DATEADD(dd, 4 - @day, @today) Wednesday,
    DATEADD(dd, 5 - @day, @today) Thursday,
    DATEADD(dd, 6 - @day, @today) Friday,
    DATEADD(dd, 7 - @day, @today) Saturday
    RETURN
    END
    GO

    The function can be execute for any day to return the week information for the week the day belongs.

    ----Following will return previous week date and days
    SELECT *
    FROM dbo.udf_DisplayCurrentWeekDateDays(DATEADD(d,-7,GETDATE()))
    GO

    Re: Setting up function for current week

    I've still been unable to come up with a function to set a filter that only pulls records for the current week. I can set it up to view the last 7 days, but I really only want to view jobs for the current week.

    Any advice on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.

      Re: Setting up function for current week

      This function isn't in the help, but will return a true or false if the entered date is in the same week as the reference date

      date_is_in_same_week()

      If you want to find if the date is in the current week, use the current date found by date() as the referenceDate.

      Code:
      ?function_description_get("date_is_in_same_week()")
= "Takes a date or time value and returns .t. if the date is in the same week as the week of the reference date"
?function_prototype_get("date_is_in_same_week()")
= "L date_is_in_same_week(* date ,D referenceDate )"
?date_is_in_same_week(ctod("10/20/2008"),date())
= .T.
      The function will accept date or time values. If you are using shorttime, this help section will show you how to convert to a date.

        Re: Setting up function for current week

        now would I just be able to use that as a filter then in my web component for grid then?

        I want the report to always come up for just the current week. I set up a function called currentweek and used your setup like this:

        FUNCTION currentweek AS C ( )
        date_is_in_same_currentweek(today())
        END FUNCTION

          What I really need to do is set up my report so it automatically pulls up the current week.

          What is going to be the best way to handle it? Can I call a function as a filter? If not, how can I filter it? This is a really important part of the program for the client.
