Hello All,
I am an old Alpha4V6 user and am new to Alpha5. I have downloaded V4.5 Trial to check out and show my boss how much better it is that Access.
I have a simple one to get me started on the new addressing.
I have a form from a set with PO_HEAD and browse table with PO_ITEMS. I can enter PO's fine. When items start coming in I want a user to:
1. Find the PO for the items that came in
2. Highlight the item that came in
3. Press a button to receive that item
4. A box appear asking for the qty received
5. (I will add the code to check that this qty is not
greater than the qty ordered)
6. If qty received input is valid store this value in child table PO_ITEM.QTY_RECEIVED.
7. This way I can keep track of how many items are on backorded.
8. I have messed around and keep getting error messages setting the parent and child field pointer.
This was easy to do in A4V6 just being on the child record you want by looking at the region (even showing a seperate menubar while in the region) and pressing a hot key for the item.
I just need a jump start on the conversion from a region to the embedded browse tables. I have done alot of VB stuff and am familier with dot notations.
By the way, it looks like A5 is going to be awesome. I am very pleased that Alpha continues to make an excellent product and has continued this message board. I was shocked to see that they have A4V7 now.
Thanks,
Anthony
