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.

      Hi Stan,

      Thanks for that, looks like it will do the job.

      To run a script to upload several files makes sense, as I only have one file to upload, it seems like a big hammer to crack a small nut.

      Is that the only way to make it run silent?

        Hello Keith,

        How silent do you want to run the FTP?
        While uploading one file don't look at the screen, you most certainly won't hear a thing.

          Hi Jo,

          That is a good one, I shall have to tell that to my client.

          I'm sure he will be impressed with my technical skill. I promise not to tell him my friend Jo, gave me this suggestion.

            Hi Keith,

            I don't mind if you tell! I am always silent when FTP takes place so nobody can deny my FTP isn't running silent.:D

            On a serious note: I have some trouble with the term DIALOG. Isn't that when an application interacts with the user, in other words it needs response. You might recall I recently I made an FTP script for transfer of multiple PDF's to a clients website. During that process of a about 10 to 20 seconds a few informational message flash on the screen but they require no response.

            Regards,

              Hi Jo,

              Maybe you should look at ftp_script_run_silent() too.

              I used dialog just to indicate that there was a message box from Alpha which I was hoping to switch off.

                Keith - I just had a client ask if I could have his clients auto run something that would send the client's data to him. This is all new to me, as I have historically had PCAnywhere installed on machines, and here I don't.

                I don't have a clue as to how to do this - but my first thought was to maybe "ftp" it. I'm guessing the master client would have to buy an ftp program, and the data would be stored on that site, from which he would retrieve.

                Give me a 25 second rendition on this - like do you have to open a special port first, etc.
