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.

        Hi George,

        I'm asking about the Improved Anchor Toolbar in V9 with an anchor button at each corner, in addition to the four at each side, that were already there from V8.

          Keith,

          I am not sure what your question is. Can you be more specific as to what you are asking? Do you want to know how to access it? Lance, it must be turned on to be visible. Form designer - next to the copy format toggle in the main toolbar.

              Please see attached.

              Thanks for pointing out the Anchor on the toolbar, silly me I thought it would have been the same in properties.

                You and me both Keith! Now that I have found it om the toolbar I will use it.

                The whats new in v9 was a good find as well, how did you access that as I would like some of the other help sections from V9?

                    I believe it is in the Help Menu list at the bottom ( see pic ).

                      Thanks Stan and Mike. Remember looking there when V9 first came out and forgot about it (old age). There was not so much there as there is now, so it has been vastly improved. Do you know if they have incorporated all of this into the down-loadable help files? Tried a few times last year and it wasn't.
