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.

      Same to you. 62 f here 40 deg above normal. But hey why complain you don't need a coat when you go out.

      P.S. Kenneth, considering what just happened here in the USA the bright future might be closer than we think.

        Hi Pete,

        Greetings from a fellow Melburnian - It was certainly a hot one yesterday
        I had the good fortune of staying inside and a whole day to discover ALPHA (my idea of a great day!!)

        I must admit that I am confounded by one of the aspects of a LIST control.
        I hope you don't mind if I share my issue as you mat have some insightful and sage advice that will save me a further 10 hours ...'

        This is mobile app , using List controls - best on IPAD
        I am working with 3 tables - Table 1 is a list of suppliers, Table 2 is a list of Issue topics and Table 3 is a list of Issue details (and this list of issue details has foreign keys to both the other files)

        I can display the supplier table and the user selects a supplier

        How do I get the primary key of that selected record

        I have tried every method suggested (Return value, this.value) but none of it returns a value - it always says it is undefined)

          Well, after many, many hours, I found the problem - If the list is set to READ ONLY, it seems that the this.value variable does not get set In fact, the value returned when trying to display with an Alert method is "undefined".

          By un-checking READ ONLY in the list control settings, I am now getting values in this.value!

            Cool. Yes that can be a trap - but read only, is read only, and that's what you get. Have fun with AA, and keep on keeping on and you will get the benefits..
