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.

    Object not found Calling another form

    This problem has been driving us crazy for the last few days. If we are in one form, then either click on a button or click on a toolbar choice to open another form based on the information in the current form, we are getting a message stating "Field not found", then the error message appears as attached.

    Code to call the form is below

    Code:
    DIM MEDNO AS C
    DIM SSN AS C
    MEDNO=MEDICAID->MEDICAIDNO
    SSN=MEDICAID->SSN
    
    debug(1)
    
    DIM clcs AS C
    DIM choose AS C
    clcs = TABLE.external_record_content_get("ABDELIG","dtoc(Edate)+' '+MEDNO","","MEDNO="+QUOTE(MEDNO))
    cnt = line_count(clcs)
    delete a_clcs
    dim a_clcs[cnt] as C
    
    DIM SHARED choose as C
    DIM SHARED varC_result as C
    a_clcs.initialize(clcs)
    ok_button_label = "&OK"
    cancel_button_label = "&Cancel"
    varC_result = ui_dlg_box("Choose Calculation to Print",<<%dlg%
    {region}
    [.40,5choose^#a_clcs];
    {endregion};
    {line=1,0};
    {region}
    <*15=ok_button_label!OK> <15=cancel_button_label!CANCEL>
    {endregion};
    %dlg%)
    
    'choose = ui_get_list("Choose Calculation to Print",word(clcs,1,","),clcs)
    
    dim global tdyclc as c
    tdyclc=REMSPECIAL(word(choose,1)+SSN+MEDNO)
    TRACELN("TDYCLC = "+TDYCLC)
    
    'DIM Shared varP_THIS_ELIGIBILITY_SCREEN as P
    'DIM layout_name as c 
    'layout_name = "THIS ELIGIBILITY SCREEN"
    
    [COLOR="Red"]Form.view("THIS ELIGIBILITY SCREEN")[/COLOR]
    
    debug(0)

    The error message appears on the "Form.view".

    This is a problem that showed up in a version 6 discussion, but we can't seem to find any other instance of the form. We thought it was the toolbar, but even after removing it, the error still occurs.

    Any ideas???

      Tom:
      This script is not the whole script.
      There is something obviously wrong with this script but before even getting into that, can you post either the entire script or better a sample of the db.

      Not sure what do you mean by:
      This is a problem that showed up in a version 6 discussion
      ?

        Re: Object not found Calling another form

        Actually, this is the whole script. We set a few variables, and in the on_init of the next form, we use the variables to filter or view.

        here is the link to the ver6 issue.

          Re: Object not found Calling another form

          OK Tom.. you wouldn't get an argument from me but the error refers to line 101. Your script does not have this many lines that's unless the original script has a lot of blank lines.

          Assuming it does not have any more blank lines than the one you posted and your are getting an error referring to line 101 then the logical explanation is that your form is corrupted.

          Well, is this the same exact scrip, bullets and blanks?

            Re: Object not found Calling another form

            Any recent changes to the OnInit script in the called form? I'm wondering if possibly the error is being thrown there, but reported for the calling form since the called form never opens?

              Re: Object not found Calling another form

              OK, you got me. The error message is from when we use the toolbar code to call the form, so that is why we get line 101. The error occurs on the form.view in either script. The included script is code we put under a button on the form for easier access when trying to edit the code.

              here is the code for the line 101 error:

                Tom,
                No, we checked and there is no script under the on_init.

                I was wrong, before, the filtering is in the form properties, not in the on_init.

                  Tom, line numbers would help <grin>.

                  Your toolbar script calls the form with filter and order arguments that are omitted from the first script you posted. This now makes me think your query.filter is wrong. Form.view() and Form.viewqueried() are two very different things.

                    You are right, Tom.

                    I am messing up by switching between ver5 and ver 9. the previous script was from ver5. The one included here is the one in ver 9 that is on the toolbar. Sorry

                    All we're trying to do is to make sure that things that worked in ver 5 still work in ver 9. We had some problems with the formviewqueried, so on some of the form calls, we set a filter on the form properties, which aleviated the issue. So far, it hasn't been the easiest...

                      Tom H:
                      I am going down your script and here is my first roadblock:
                      dim _DB_NAME as c
                      Not sure how is that supposed to work?
                      A variable name must start with a letter.

                        Here is the second one (not a raodblock though):
                        Code:
                        dim shared clcs[200] as c
                        dim shared i as n
                        for i = 1 to 200
                        	clcs[i] = ""
                        next i
                        OK.. I will be Moe: "What's the big idea?"

                        This "for..next" routine does absolutely nothing.

                          G,

                          that is a carryover from ver5 generated code. I'll bet that we don't even use the variable.

                            You're responding faster than I can reply.

                            I didn't write that one. It is supposed to make sure the array is clear.

                            It won't hurt anything, just take a fraction of a second longer.

                              Code:
                              MEDNO=MEDICAID->MEDICAIDNO
                              SSN=MEDICAID->SSN
                              If your run the script without the form being open, it will fail.
