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.

    Fetching Serial Number

    Hello,

    I have a hybrid Product_Item Set whereby the product file has 1 unique key for the product number, and the item file has the key product number + serial number. In that way I can have multiple serial numbers for the same item. The form for this looks and works great.

    However, the rub is that when I go to invoice, I can pull up and select the product with the corresponding serial, but for some reason, it always only finds the first serial number, regardless of which one I selected with no errors.

    I know the problem is in the "CanSave" event which is below. Can I get a set of eyes to look at what's going wrong with the find in tbl_1 in looking for the Product_ID + serial_number .

    dim tbl as p
    dim tbl_1 as p
    tbl = table.open("product",FILE_RW_SHARED)
    tbl_1= table.open("items",FILE_RW_SHARED)
    '1st Pass for Product File Set the table order to the key expression
    dim itbl as p
    dim key_expr as c
    key_expr = "Product_Id"
    if key_expr = "" then
    ui_msg_box("Error","Key expression cannot be blank. Edit the Action and specify the Key expression.")
    end
    end if
    dim key_value as c
    key_value = "" +a5_eval_expression("=Invoice_Items->Product_Id",local_variables())

    itbl = tbl.order(key_expr,".t.")
    'Determine the data type that the key expression returns
    dim data_type as c
    if tbl.eval_valid(key_expr) then
    data_type = typeof(tbl.eval(key_expr))
    else
    ui_msg_box("Error","Key expression is not valid: '"+key_expr+"'",UI_STOP_SYMBOL)
    tbl.close()
    end
    end if
    find_result = tbl.fetch_find(convert_type(key_value,data_type))
    'Was the find successful?
    'Evaluate the key value for the current record and compare it with the key value that was searched for...
    current_key = tbl.eval(key_expr)
    if current_key <> key_value then
    ui_msg_box("Error","Record to update not found. Could not find record with key value: '" + key_value+"'.",UI_STOP_SYMBOL)
    tbl.close()
    end
    end if

    if tbl.is_record_locked() = .t. then
    ui_msg_box("Error","Cannot edit Product record because it is locked by another user, or in another session.",UI_STOP_SYMBOL)
    tbl.close()
    end
    end if

    Re: Fetching Serial Number

    Hi Ryland,
    it always only finds the first serial number
    Could be that you have set the link in the Set structure, to "First matching record", try "Closest matching record".

        Re: Fetching Serial Number

        Hi Keith,

        Looks like the trick was that I had in the database, Product Number being Unique for the Items table, which for serial numbers is not correct. When I fixed that, then the problem went away. Also I found out that the TBL_1 did not need a complex key search of "Product_ID+Serial_Number". Just Product_ID was all that was needed.

        Thanks for the advice,

        Ryland
