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.

    Printing in the Report Footer

    I have some fields that I want to print in the report footer section, and not in the detail section. How do I go about doing this? I drag my field into the report area but nothing prints. What am I doing wrong?

    Should work, attach a sample table with the report defined for it.
    There can be only one.

      Re: Printing in the Report Footer

      Thanks Stan, should I send the whole thing or just the table and report?. The report is based on a set. If you need just certain one please let me know the ext, I know the dbf but what about the others, hope I made sense

        Re: Printing in the Report Footer

        Remember that if you place a detail field in a header or footer this will result in a single field representing all , not the individual records = either summed or averaged or count of records etc. as you select.

          Stan I went ahead and sent the whole thing. The report I am working on is called "new pawn 2", I want some of my information to print in the detail section and some to print in the report footer. The fields in the report footer will not show up, thanks Stan

              The last record in New_Pawn1 has blanks in the fields in the report footer. The way you have the report footer defined only the last record will show.

              Only the first record has non-blank values.

              The report is doing what it is told to do.

              If you want all of the records to appear in the report footer, then put a subreport for New_Pawn1 in the report footer and put the g-* fields in the subreport

                Re: Printing in the Report Footer

                I understand what your saying, but if you look in the filter of the report I am only asking for a single invoice 20000. When I drag the fields over to the report footer I reply with value in the field only

                  There are 6 records in the one to many relationship for New_Pawn1, so there are 6 records that you are reporting on for invoice 20000.

                  That's why there are 6 lines in the detail section.

                  Even though you don't want the g-* fields on the detail section, put them after the other fields to illustrate the point.

                  Or open the default form for the set and look at the browse for for New_Pawn1.

                  or open the default browse for the set and see the number of records that display.

                    Thanks I did the sub report, looks good, but will not let me do an alignment to the left on the fields, is there another trick to make these fields data go to the left

                      I don't understand. By default the fields align left.

                      What do you want to align left?

                      Be careful how you place the subreport on the report

                      You may want to send us another version with your subreport in it. (and the zipcode table that is in another directory) - I just ignored it and removed the fields from it on the report.

                          G_desc is blank so it looks like the fields are to the right, but the first field is blank..
