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.

    Re: Mileage Calculation

    I lived in France for two years in the early 60's and then Germany for one year. Everything was in litres and kilometers. I got over to your island once, but don't remember what the signs said - just glad I wasn't driving!!

    Funny story: although tanks were usually sent by rail, for some reason I don't now recall, I was driving a tractor trailer pulling it from the Chech border back almost to Kyserslaughten. (sp) I was in a convoy, but got lost from it. Hurry up, slow down - and you go around a corner, come to a fork, and cannot see the convoy in front or in back, and you take a guess and take the wrong fork.

    Anyway, about 3AM I am downtown, in a little bitty German town, stopped, trying to figure out where I was on the map. The local policeman is holleren at me in German for having that rig in their downtown area. He finally cooled down and we figured out how I could get from where I was back to the main drag, and he helped me find a place to turn around. All the while I am worried the US is wonderen if I have absconded with their mutimiillon piece of property and whether I am going to get in trouble. Well, as it turned out, the convy was a total flop, and many got lost, just not with a tank in back. The guy leading the convoy didn't pace it right.

      Re: Mileage Calculation

      Now you are just showing off. Biggest thing I ever hauled was 20 tonnes of china clay.
      Did put a rigbover a cliff once though.
      Our Island is over 1000 miles long btw.
      People I met in Mexico thought it was about 150 miles.

      Apologies for "MUGGING" this post.

        Re: Mileage Calculation

        Well .... any piece of land shorter'en Texas, we call an island around here

        20 tons of clay is a decent load - as long as its still wet - but haulen a load like that dry would be treacherous - you'd have top come to a stop at all railroad crossings, etc., to keep from breaken it.

          Re: Mileage Calculation

          I am curious if you guys are using the google maps api through a jQuery getJSON call and if so are you having problems with it recently? I am doing a ton of javascript on the JSON to calculate miles driven per state so I'd feel free to help you out if your still needing to parse the JSON for information but just trying to get feedback on my issue to find out if there is something wrong with my component or if this again is a jQuery/Google API problem (as it has happened before last week and turned out to be a problem with the latter). Thanks!

            Re: Mileage Calculation

            The code above that I'm using is a getJSON call but from XBasic, not from jQuery. If there are new problems with it, I'm not aware of them.
