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.

    Technical Support for A5 4.5

    Gentlemen:

    I have been reading in numerous places on the Alpha site about patches for the new version of A5 (version 4.5). When I attempt to go to the download site, it asks me for user name and password.

    Please advise how a user accesses the technical support download site. The only password that I have ever used is the one that gets me to this message board and it doesn't work for the technical support download site.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Hello Allen

    We are having this remedied --- the Technical Support are should
    be back up and running (without need of a Password) in a few hours.

        The Technical Support area is back up and running - you don't
        need a password to access.

        Dave, you get there by going to the support tab, then technical
        support.

              I don't believe there are any official patches yet. They may create one in the future. If you want to download the two .dll files, go to the A5v4 section and search on:

              a2rprnt.dll
              to find the dll for fixing the report grouping error.

              small glitch cian
              to find the dll for fixing the error with editing fields which use with the % format.

              NOTE: Questions like this should normally be posted in the A5v4 area.
