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.

    Disappearing Child Data

    I saw a reasonable long thread in Version 8 about data loss in an app, even after the data is verified as entered. I am using 10.5 on W10 machine

    There were several ideas but I couldn't really find an answer/solution.

    My app, running solely on a desktop, non-network setup overall runs fine, with just one set in use and a variety of parent/child, 1-many links driving two multi-tabbed items on one form. I use embedded browses based on the 1-many links.

    I have one link, however, that is giving me a fit.


    1. Is it reliable and proper to use a 1-many link on a grandchild link. In other words, I have a parent-child link that works fine. I have a child to child 1- many link from that child link and it simply does not hold the data in the child table. It shows as saved in my form but when I close the form, or change to another portion of the tabbed form, and return to the "troubled" tab/record, the data is gone, including in the child table itself. I am the only person using the app.

    2. I know it is hard to help someone when the app is generically described, but I am wondering if it is proper to connect different sets on a form. Linking them together, I guess, is something I would have to learn as I have never done that before.

    Hope this comes through as udnerstandbale.


    Thanks in advance.

    Attached (I hope) are two images. It is the bottom right embedded browse giving me the problem.

        Thanks very much Stan. It works like I wanted.

        Very simple answer I wouldn't have thought of.

        My presumption is that a grandchild 1-many should work but referential integrity shouldn't be enforced.

            Well, I am not Stan and did not see anything from Stan in this post, but glad it worked.
            From past experience, it did seem logical.

            Most of my apps use No ref integrity. Seems to affect speed among other thigs, so is reserved to "as really needed" status.
