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.

    David,
    Appreciate you taking the time to help. Yes, I"ve reloaded back and forth several times. I'll keep trying to figure out what's wrong with my setup.
    Thanks again.

    Understool... Chase Bank.. still there - as the parent. Children records gone after the delete with 3252 with New Browse. Using Vista 32. I've reloaded the database from the zip, and, after deleting the records... undeleted them again... just to try stuff. I've deleted the records one a a time, and several at a time, and all 12 at once and all deletes remove the records from the browse. Have you reloaded 3252?

    David,
    The browse that has Chase Bank is the parent table. The larger browse below that has the 12 records is the child. When I use the 3252 build with new browse, it deletes the records but still displays them. Don't know what is different. I'm using xp Pro.

    I've installed 3252 with New Browse overtop 3252 w/o New Browse.

    I've openend your form, then Profit Allocation, then selected all 12 records and right-clicked, then Delete. Took a few seconds but all record were deleted... nothing displayed.

    For my test, the Chase Bank was displayed in the Profit Allocation table... after delete... is it supposed to be gone? It's still there.

    Deleting Multiple Records in Embedded Browse

    Don't know if anyone wants to take the time to check this out, but here goes.
    Have two attachments. One is the app the other is the data files to use to restore after doing a test.
    Testing with build 3252 and 3252 with new browse. (Build 3216 works like 3252 w/o new browe) Steps to take to test.

    1. Run form "annual_plan"
    2. Select button "Profit Allocation"
    3. Select all records (12) in child embedded browse.
    4. Right click and select delete.
    5. This will delete all the child records. If using 3252 w/o new browse, first record will still be displayed. (However, just ran this test again and no records showing. 1st time that happened!) If using new browse (3252), all records will still be showing. Both browses are filtered on a Year field = global variable->glo_Year. Only way (with new browse) to get child "deleted" records not to show is to pack the table.

    Now here is another problem I've found. In the profit_allocation form, the child browse is tied to table profit_allocation. This table, via field rules Posting, updates the bank_transacts table. See pdf attachment. Since posting will only zero out the field it is updating when deleting the record, I would like to delete the record in the bank_transacts table. Therefore, I have added xbasic code in the profit_allocation table, field rules OnDeleteRecord event to delete the record in bank_transacts.

    1. Using 3252 w/o new browse: If I delete one record at a time, this will work. If I try to delete more than one record at a time, it doesn't work, i.e., nothing gets updated/deleted in the bank_transacts table.
    2. Using 3252 with new browse, all works as advertised. However, the deleted profit_allocation records (as noted above) are still showing in the profit_allocation form until the table is packed.

    I am assuming these are bugs, but would really like someone else to test first.
    Thanks.
    Ernie
    P.S. Just ran the test again with 3252 and first record is still showing after deleting all records in browse.
