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.

    Lookup

    I have been using this lookup for about 15 Months and it worked fine. Since Tuesday 05/15/01 it gives the following message:
    Cannot create lookup.
    Lookup definition incomplete or incorrect
    INVOICE_ITEMS->PROWAT_PO_NUM not found

    I am trying to receive goods by entering a PO number and looking up the item on the PO. The PO #'s in the sample are 4766,67,68,69,59,60,64,61,62, using part #'s 332336,332335, 305868, 301691, 335119, 301483, 323938,316102, 304058, 335120. The Set is "merchrx.set"
    1) Open set
    2) Click on date
    3) Click on Prowat Po Num, enter 4 digits, click arrow at end of box. It should a list of open PO,s.

    Any help would be appreciated, it probably is something simple that I cannot see, due to my disbelief that it dose not work.

    RE: Lookup

    The problem seems to lie in the field rules for the merchandise_rx table.

    For some reason the product table is no longer available for use in the filter for the lookup of the merchandise_rx->prowat_po_no as in

    Product->Qtyonord>0


    also the condition for the posting field rule for merchandise_rx->weight fails because product->weight is not available for

    (product->weight)
    There can be only one.

        RE: Lookup

        I don't understand how your lookup for Merchandise_rx->prowat_po_no is supposed to work/used to work when the lookup is on Invoice_items.dbf but the filter condition is based on the product.dbf.

        Also it appears the post field rule for weight is trying to evaluate the condition based on the target field rather than the source field, and the target field is not available for evaluation.

        I don't do a lot of lookup field rules, so I'm hoping someone else will lend a hand here.
        There can be only one.

          Nigel,
          On a test database erase all field rules then save. Go back in and re-eneter the field rule and see if it works. I took a look and agree with Stan, it doesn't make sense. Are you sure you didn't restore with some old dictionary files "DD" extensions.
