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.

      Re: CLR types What is this??

      "The Common Language Runtime (CLR) is the virtual machine component of Microsoft's .NET framework and is responsible for managing the execution of .NET programs. In a process known as Just-in-time compilation, the compiled code is converted into machine instructions that, in turn, are executed by the computer's CPU. The CLR provides additional services including memory management, type safety and exception handling. All programs written for the .NET framework, regardless of programming language, are executed by the CLR. It provides exception handling, garbage collection and thread management. CLR is common to all versions of the .NET framework.

      The CLR is Microsoft's implementation of the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) standard."

      I meant to look this up as well - your post reminded me...

        It means that Alpha Software attachment to the desktop environment by switching to get on to the 1600 compiler V10.5 now in V11 and V12 soon. The content thereof is at Alpha Software but my perception and experience with #Net that there are sufficient opportunities and potentials for the desktop!

          I also don't know how complete the .Net implementation is in A5. But the newer versions of SQL Server can be programmed against inside the client. I don't know a lot about it, but my impression is you can program using .Net framework and being a VB.Net person in VB.Net. I don't know how xBasic fits into this scheme of things.

          I hope to explore .Net namespace(s) in A5 in the next few weeks along with classes. I have not seen a whole lot about those things on the forum so I am guessing most are not using them. I did post a question about how people were using classes in their apps a while back, but never got a real response by anyone who was actually doing that type of implementation.

          A5 has improved classes in recent versions, and that makes a real step toward Object Oriented programming vs. event programming. If the implementation they have created works then to my way of thinking it should really excite A5 developers. It could change the way A5 developers code. The concern I have is that A5 appears to be data bound, so I don't know how I could bind an form to a business object that returned a dataset/recordset.

          But I digress from the question of CLR and what it could mean. My apologies
