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.

    I think I have an unactivated license. I'll try that and see what happens. I was able to restore an image that included an activated A5, that worked. Will advise on new activation.

      You may struggle as I believe the Activation Server has been junked.
      Anyway, Richard or Lenny would be able to get you going.

        I bought a couple of copies of V11 (Alpha Anywhere) That activation server still works. I am trying to migrate v10 to v11 if it does not take too much time. There are some quirks, not Alpha's fault. I can play with SQL on V11. Does anyone have a feel for speed on V10 on DBF vs V11 on different flavors of SQL? I don't have a lot of users but want it to work. Ted mentioned a video by Selwyn on how to set up SQL but I'm not sure I have found it. I guess I also need to save the Auth code in V11 in case that disappears as well.
        Anyone (Ted) have the URL on Youtube?

          V10 "should" migrate to v11 with very little issue.
          I have been using V11 to update a project running on V10.5 for years.
          I had to rethink the process when v10.5 could no longer send office365 email.

              Hi Russ,
              Sorry I missed the part about sql.
              It's not so much what you use, but how you configure and use it.
              I prefer mysql because it's much easier for me to work with dates and times (including my own functions.
              I have a page that will search throught AA's youtube videos. Video Finder (youshould-seethis.com)
              It's easy to use and returns only items that contain your search criteria.
              The specific video Ted referred to can also be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLwKLOjmu54
              or if you use the search page I mentioned, put adao in the search box, then press return twice (or click the magnifying/search button.

              Last but not lease, I will never claim to Selwyn, but I like to think I am more than just competent using sql (escpecially using mysql).
