Runtime problem

[wtrevvett]

I have a form in my application which contains a browse. The browse is ordered lastname, firstname and is filtered using the isnotblank function. The application is running on a Novell network with network optimization on the workstation.

When the form is opened using my full version of Alpha 5, the browse is ordered and filtered correctly. When the form is opened using the runtime version, the browse is in record order and unfiltered. The results are the same even if runtime is used to open the .ADB on the server instead of the shadowed copy.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

I inadvertantly posted this to the announcements section...I appologise.

RE: Runtime problem

Is the build number for the runtime the same as the build number of the development version?

Both are 4.03 build 230

RE: Runtime problem

Did you specify the form order and filter in the form properties or is the form displaying the data in the order and filtered chosen by the last query run on your machine? This would be different on the client machines.

The order and selection is made in the form, and no other query is made. The problem exists even when all access is made using the same machine to access the form in both programs.

If the app is run in full alpha from either the network directory, or the shadow directory, the browse shows ordered and filtered correctly.

If the app is run in runtime from either location, the ordering and filtering is disregarded.

Warren,
I have an app where I select a field on the form and press a button to bring up and center a form with an embedded browse. The code follows. I put the index_set in the button that opens the form and this works for both the full and runtime versions.
dim vMn as c
dim shared vIndx as c
dim pFormPntr as p
dim vScrnHigh as n
dim vScrnWide as n
dim vFormHigh as n
dim vFormWide as n
vMn=parentform:MachSide.value
vIndx=alltrim("Trend"+left(alltrim(vMn),1))
vScrnHigh=ui_info(1)
vScrnWide=ui_info(0)
pFormPntr=:form.load("QTrend")
vFormWide=pFormPntr.width
vFormHigh=pFormPntr.height
pFormPntr.top=if(vFormHigh>=vScrnHigh,0,(vScrnHigh-vFormHigh)/2)
vFormPntr.left=if(vFormWide>=vScrnWide,0,(vScrnWide-vFormWide)/2)
pFormPntr.index_set(vIndx)
pFormPntr.show()
pFormPntr.activate()
end

Many thanks for the alternative.

RE: Runtime problem

Warren, I'm glad to say I've never encountered what you describe, provided the installed runtime build matched the developer version's build. I know you answered the question once before, but if I were you I'd double check it.

Also, and I know this is unlikely, but is it possible you have more than one copy of your database on the system, with the RT running one, while the developer vers. runs another? Sometimes folks get their paths mixed up, especially when network optimizing, so I thought I'd ask... If the user is clicking a shortcut icon to start, it's sometimes not easy for them to recognize 'which' database is actually running.
