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.

    Alpha Five through Dial In

    Hi all,
    I have a small army of Alpha five Databases for many doctors in a medical practice. I have the capability of allowing 4 users to be dialed into a Router, which then goes to a switch and then to the server with the Alpha Five databases.
    Is their any way remote (dial in) users can use Alpha five and use the file on the server over a modem? How can this be configured??

    Thanks,
    Chris Kudrna

    An interim solution might be to us pcAnywhere at both ends. The remote pc could dial in and run Alpha Five from the host server... Performance over 56k modem lines will grow tedious quickly, but might be useful in a pinch.

      We have remote sites dialing in using a Citrix server. Citrix allows a very thin client to dial in to the Citrix server which is directly connected on the network. Citrix runs the applications and passes screens back and forth.

        I haven't tried it myself but I've seen some positive press on this GoToMyPC https://www.gotomypc.com.

        From site: GoToMyPC Personal gives you unlimited access to your computers from any Web browser anywhere. It's a simple, easy remote-access solution that enables you to conveniently access email, files, programs and network resources from home or the road.

        It reportly is much faster many of the other moderate cost solutions out there. Anyway, I thought that this might work for your needs and might be of interest to others on the board. I'd be interested in hearing if anyone has tried this.

          Is it at all possible in Alpha Five to generate web pages based on the content of tables? I know Access has this, as it can generate data access pages, which are editable and searchable. Thanks for all your replies

            Yes, to the Html pages. However in v4 and v4.5 you need to use xbasic. I think there is an example on this message board. A5v5 will have not only html but xml as will.

            Hope this helps
