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.

    Embedded Browse Vertical Scrollbar too big

    See image...

    Embedded Browse.png

    This table has almost 7000 records and I can't scroll down. How do I fix the scrollbar?

    What's your "Vertical Scroll Bar Behavior" Setting for "Browse" in your system's "Preferences" ?

      Re: Embedded Browse Vertical Scrollbar too big

      Thankls Tom,

      It was blank. I had just changed it to 1. So now I can scroll again.

      BTW: do you know if this setting will automatically carry over to the RT (for a client's local install)?

      I suppose it would.

        I would assume so. Can't recall ever having changed it from whatever is the default.

        May I ask what build you're using? I am not seeing this problem here with a "blank" value in the scroll bar behavior setting. I'm running Build 3788_4187.

          Same here.

          Strange, but I've seen it happen before.

            I wonder if the size of the scroll bar is something they store in the registry? You might blank the setting. Shut down A5 then start fresh and open the browse. Does the problem return?

                I'll only know if it doesn't work. My client is going live on Monday so if there is an issue, I'll hear about it sooner or later.

                  Peter,

                  I think Al may have a good point. You may have to set the scroll bar preference on each workstation, or figure out how to do it in your autoexec script.

                    Or you can load and use the runtime on your development machine and test it prior to the client finding out for you.

                    I would actually hope that a register value from a development copy doesn't carry forward to a runtime, but I know that some do.

                    Sometimes testing takes more work and time than development.

                      .
                      Hi,
                      I have a form which has a browse that exhibited the Big Vertical Scrollbar issue. Then I noticed that when I used a search/query that filtered the table's records, the vertical scrollbar would behave as it should. So I created a query that filtered the table in such a way that all records showed. For example, if you have a Students table and one of the fields/columns is Date of Birth, then the filter could be "show all records where Date of Birth is greater than July 4, 1776". Unless one of the students is Methuselah, then the query should show all records*.

                      I saved the query with the name Fix Vertical Scrollbar and placed it in the form's OnInit event as an Action Script (Run Saved Query). My form has several Action Scripts. Depending on where I place this Action Script, the fix works or not. In my case, I placed it to be executed in third place, of four Action Scripts.



                      Regards,
                      Felix




                      * If you do have Methuselah as a student, transfer him to Kindergarten. He won't mind. In fact, he won't even notice.

                        Registry settings can be sent with your app.

                        making sure that any settings you need are already done in your runtime and you have it set up, then just copy the settings from the registry by doing an export. Have your installer put the into the registry of the work station on installation.

                        Hope it helps.

                          Hi,
                          In my previous post I wrote that I placed the Run Saved Query Action Script in the form's OnInit event. Correction: I placed it in the form's OnActivate event. Sorry.

                          Also, in the Alpha Five menu bar, take a look at:
                          View - Settings - Preferences - Browse - Vertical Scroll Bar Behavior
