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: How to remove status bar

    The "status" bar you mention is called the "window bar" in Alpha speak.

    You can change its behavior by setting a different preference

    Control panel
    -- View
    ----Settings-
    ------Preferences
    --------Window bar

        Hi All

        Thanks to this thread I've been able to successfully hide the Window Bar.

        I used this same process to hide the Status Bar. (Please see Pic)

        However, every time I open my application the Status Bar reappears.

        Is there a way to keep it hidden?

          statusbar.Hide()

          Probably in the autoexec?
          There can be only one.

              Thanks Stan...The autoexec command worked a charm.

              Keith...The "Hide Status Bar" check button you pointed out seems to only hide the status bar on the bottom of each form and not the status bar at the bottom of the desktop application. But thanks for pointing it out...I was also looking for a way to hide that status bar too.

                Both of the approach works fine, but during development time, one needs the status bar to navigate from control panel to other open forms, reports, code, etc quickly. I prefer to turn it off when I deploy the apps to clients.

                  Re: How to remove status bar

                  On my start up form I have the following Inline Xbasic on the OnInit event
                  STATUSBAR.Hide()

                  On the same form I have a password protected hotspot with the attached script attached to the OnPush event which then takes me to the control panel.

                  I then turn on the Window Bar option from the pull down View menu...

                  Hope this helps.

                    My freebie at the site address below has the Windows Bar on or off, as well as a password restricted CP.
                    The Window Bar is turned off in the Database Properties section and users have the option to turn in on or off with the Toggle.
                    See our Hybrid Option here;

                    Apologies to anyone I haven't managed to upset yet.
                    You are held in a queue and I will get to you soon.
