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.

    Is there a User Defined Functions or scripts limit in a database?

    I don't see this in the database specifications, and wondered if there is a limit to the number of UDFs and scripts a database can support. I'm at 510 in a small company manufacturing-production application at the moment and imagine more on the way.

      Since the scripts and functions are stored in the database definition files, assuming you are speaking of global scripts and functions, and those files are actually tables and support files, the same 2 gig limit probably applies.
      There can be only one.

        Sounds like it might be time to compile your scripts and functions into an AEX so you can then delete them from the control panel code tab and attach them to the database instead as library file(s).

          AEX at the end maybe but I need to cut and paste from so many that I need them immediately available.

            there is a utility in the code archive one of the regular members wrote where you can save into an aex and then reopen them into the workspace if you need too.

              Hi Mike,

              In general, when people have a lot of scripts or functions (but mostly scripts), they are doing the same thing over and over again, with just a few changes in values or fields. A single UDF can replace many of these by having the values and fields a s parameters. The additional advantage is less disk space, and more importantly a common piece of code, rather than many to update when a change is made. One client that had written their own app, I created 1 function that replaced over 1000 individual short scripts!

              As for limits, there is no real limit (except the 2 Gig file limit already mentioned, and that can be gotten around by loading additional adb files) and the amount of memory available to Alpha Five (at most 3 Gigabytes since it is currently a 32 bit program). To see other Alpha Five limits, visit my Alpha Five Code Editor, Function & Variable Limits tips page
