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.

    Maybe the report is not based on the table you think? (related to issue with compacting?) Sounds like it is printing based on a table without the new classes(older version).

    Take a look at the report tab of the control panel with the detail view selected. That will tell you which table the report is using.

    See "Compacting Database Issue" for one.

    The other is that my filters (using the Genie) are not working correctly on one of the fields in my parent database. "class" has the following possible entries: NA, NB, OA, OB, UA, UB, RNA, RNB, RAA, RAB, REA, REB, BNA, BNB, GO, GN, VER, TD, TDX, AND VST.
    I can filter on "begins with R," run my report, and get the correct records.
    When I filter on "begins with R" and check "exclude records that satisfy this criteria", I do not get the records with BNA, BNB, GO, GN, or VER.
    When I filter on class = BNA or class = BNB, I get NO records in my report. BUT, when I query on BNA and BNB from the set default browse, I get 16 records.
    So, I marked those 16 records, and ran the report on Marked Records...NO records in the Report.
    Am I losing my mind?
    As an addendum to this, I just tried running the report with no filter criteria, only ordering. The records with class - BNA, BNB, GO, GN and VER are all omitted. These are new classes that I added in 2009. Perhaps when I originally set up the tables I somewhere specified the old classes and the new have not been added? If so, why are the records present in the browse? And, if so, where could this be built into my database? I've looked everywhere I can think of.

    Is there something else I should try to resolve this?

    If you get to the Reports tab of the control panel, right click on a report name, choose Save As. Does the Print Genie appear?
    Yes, it does.

    I had the same result when I tried printing to file from Report Properties.

    However, I am able to send it to myself as an email attachment (.pdf and .rtf) from Report Properties.

    What happens when you Preview and then try to send as a different type of document in an e-mail?

    I ported a V9 app to V10.5 (not latest build) and so far it all works on an array of printers in test.

    OK,I did that, and now AlphaFiveV4 appears in my Printers accessed via the Control Panel. I went into AlphaFive, generated another report, and, although I can print it, I can't archive or save it as a .pdf file.
    I still get the Printer Communcation error.
    What next?

    Then it didn't install correctly. See post #19 in this thread.

    Run the InstallAmyuniPrinters by right clicking on the file and choosing "Troubleshoot Compatibility" then select "Recommended Settings." It really grinds my gears that Alpha has not only NOT fixed this issue for V9 but looks like it's an issue in V10 as well.
