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.

    email and HTMl

    HI

    Having created an email template in Alpha and used a button/action script to instigate the email providing I use the Alpha client the email views perfectly. However if I use the windows default email client the email is shown with all the HTML code inserted.

    The email client (outlook 2002) is set to format in text not HTML and when a new email is created in outlook it does use text formatting. I've tried setting outlook to formAT in HTML but the HTML code is still shown below.

    Has anyone seen this and is the problem with Alpha or Outlook?

    Thanks

    Ian

        Sorry I didn't get a reply so temproarily I changed to the Alpha client and to my shame for various reasons I have not returned to the problem.

        However I have just tried it again and I still have the problem so I'll get back to it ASAP.

          I've started a new thread for this, above, in which I've tried to summarize the problem. Hopefully there will be a response. Switching to the built-in client isn't ideal for several reasons.

            Hi

            I realise that but unfortunatly illnes forced a re appraisal and after that the client cancelled the job.

            Since then I've been involved in other projects including setting up my own hosting company with WAS as an option.

            I will however return to this problem shortly and keep an idea on the thread.
