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.

    Code Error?

    Please take a look at this code and see where I'm missing the boat. The code was copied in it's entirety for the AlphaSports, Invoice form, Zoom button. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. I also mad sure I had corresponding indices in the tables although I see no reference to them in the code. My code works well except for copying the FPI_Number which is in the first part of the code.

    Thanks much,

    kenn

    This part is not code but for reference only.
    AlphaSports------------------------------MINE
    Invoice_Header--------Parent Table------F_Investigations
    Invoice_Number--------Linking Field-----FPI_Number
    Items-----------------Form--------------F_Timeline
    Invoice_Items---------Child Table-------T_Timeline

    CODE - The code in Italics is from AlphaSports for reference.

    dim t as p
    t = table.current()
    dim count1 as n
    'count1 stores the number of events for the current Browse before we zoom to the "f_Timeline" form.
    'this will allow us to determine if the user added new events after returning from the Zoom.
    count1 = t.eval("count(t_Timeline->FPI_Number,GRP->t_INVESTIGATIONS)")

    'count1 = t.eval("count(Invoice_Items->Invoice_Number,GRP->INVOICE_HEADER)")


    'set a global variable to store the FPI number
    'then, when you create a new invoice item using the f_Timeline
    'form, you will be able to fill in the FPI number that
    'was inherited from the parent from.
    DIM global varFPI_Number as C
    varFPI_Number = t_INVESTIGATIONS->FPI_NUMBER

    'DIM global varInvoice_Number as C
    'varInvoice_Number = INVOICE_HEADER->INVOICE_NUMBER


    'Zoom to form F_Timerline as a dialog box.
    dim Shared varP_ZoomForm as P
    'make sure that the browse has focus.
    browse4.activate()
    varP_ZoomForm = topparent.zoom_to_record("F_Timeline","dialog")

    'browse1.activate()
    'varP_ZoomForm = topparent.zoom_to_record("Items","dialog"    )

    dim count2 as n
    'now count the number of events.
    count2 = t.eval("count(t_Timeline->FPI_NUMBER,GRP->T_INVESTIGATIONS)")

    'count2 = t.eval("count(Invoice_Items->Invoice_Number,GRP->INVOICE_HEADER)")

    'if the user added new events, fetch last event so that new event is visible.
    if count2 > count1 then
    browse4.Fetch_Last()

    'if count2 > count1 then
    ' browse1.Fetch_Last()

    end if

    Code:
    count1 = t.eval("count(t_Timeline->FPI_Number,GRP->t_INVESTIGATIONS)")
    Your notes say it should be f_INVESTIGATIONS.

        Looks like you're using this on a desktop form? Sitck a debug(1) in and check what's being assigned like....

          I stuck the DEBUG(1) in and it says on line 11:

          t.eval("count(t_Timeline->FPI_NUMBER,GRP->t_INVESTIGATIONS)") field not recognized.

          I have examined every table, for, report and made sure this field is the same in every one, spelling, character type, size etc. They are all identical, even the object name. Still, the debug says the same. Line 11 is just before the part where the FPI_NUMBER is copied to the new record so I would think it only affects the 2 tables and the form involved. Where else might I check?

          Thanks Much

            Re: Code Error?

            Run the script again and in the debugger check

            t_Timeline->FPI_NUMBER
            t_Timeline->some_other_field_you're_sure_is_there

            t_INVESTIGATIONS->FPI_NUMBER
            t_INVESTIGATIONS->some_other_field_you're_sure_is_there

            If any of those yield ??? then something is misspelled or the table reference is wrong.

            Your form is based on a set rather than just a table? (just checking)
            There can be only one.

              Yes it is based on a set. I'll try your suggestion and get back to ya.
