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.

    STOP PLEASE STOP!!!!!!!

    while loop start
    if exist(blah,blah,blah)=.t.
    .
    .
    .
    else
    errflag=1
    stop
    end if
    i=i+1
    end while
    end
    error_handler:
    .
    .
    Resume Next

    If the file does not exist it gets to STOP and shutsdown the script. Is this right? I thought it was supposd to send it to the error handler???
    HELP!!!!!!

      if exist(blah,blah,blah)=.t.

      Can't find that syntax anywhere.

      Do you mean

      result = file.exists("blah,blah,blah")
      if result=.T.
      There can be only one.

          RE: STOP PLEASE STOP!!!!!!!

          First time researching the exist function I used exist() and overlooked what you were using.

          wo_numb=file_names[i]
          if exist(file_names[i],"joined.dbf","wo_numb")=.t.

          Shouldn't make any difference but did you try:

          wo_numb=file_names[i] 'If you're going to assign it, why not use it in the next statement?
          wo_rslt = exist(wo_numb,"joined.dbf","wo_numb")
          if wo_rslt=.t.
          ...
          ...
          ...

          In any case I would use the debugger to find out what wo_numb was before and after the assignment statement, and I would see whether the if "falls through" to the statement after the if or jumps to the else.
          There can be only one.

            Stan

            The Script works fine. The STOP command is not fireing the error_handler: routine. It just shuts the script down. In debugger it will see the exist statement is false and goto errflag=1 then stop and thats where the script ends. ANy Ideas. I tried running the script in the book with the STOP function and it didnt work either. I tried another computer and it didnt work.

            ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
