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.

      Re: XDialog Box - Set Focus

      Depending on what you want, that can get really complicated.

      You can disable a field with the "?" argument but that will also gray it out. That doesn't always look good because it makes things harder to read.

      You can make a field read-only with the "R" directive but doing that after the Submit button is pushed requires actually shutting down the xdialog and automatically restarting it. The user won't be able to see it happen but it take's some complex code to do it. The "R" directive isn't a variable - it's actually hard coded as part of the xdialog text.

      If you really want to do that, I'd start with using the ? argument something like this:

      Set this before starting the xdialog:
      allow_change = .T.

      Then create the xdialog using the allow_change variable to determine whether or not the fields should be enabled:
      [.10ProductID?allow_change]

      Then, in the %code% section, reset the allow_change value whenever appropriate. If all data was entered correctly, set it to .F.. If the user clicks the Edit button, set it back to .T..

      However, I see a lot of potential issues with this. For example, you will have to know if the user is entering a new record or editing an existing record. If they enter a new record and the values remain in the fields, then they click an "Edit" button, how can you know if they want to edit the existing record or start a new record that has many of the same values? Even if you provide two buttons, an Edit and a New Record button, I'd be willing to bet somebody will get confused by what they mean and mess it up.

      This can be done but it will take a lot of checking to make sure the data doesn't get messed up.
