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.

    This may be a bug testing image fields and variables. Please advise?

    Any and all help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!
    Code:
    dim global vstimg4 as c ="x"
    dim global vstimg3 as c ="x"
    dim global vstimg2 as c ="x"
    dim global vstimg1 as c ="x"
    var->vstimg4 = parentform:Img4.value
    var->vstimg3 = parentform:Img3.value
    var->vstimg2 = parentform:Img2.value
    var->vstimg1 = parentform:Img1.value
    Variables.pngvariables2.png

    I have declared 4 global variables( so I could see easy for testing. The idea is to read the four image(png) fields to see if anything is there. I can only get 3 fields and 3 variables in the read out whether empty or no. Img 2 is blank as it should be. Xbasic is being cal from on depart of image field. image field 4 is not in the variable list at all(biggest problem)

    A jpg/jpeg/png field's form object value is binary data. Not sure you can test that way.

    Try this button code. (Alter to suit your situation.)

    tst = parentform:img.value
    ui_msg_box("",""+isblank("var->tst"))

      Actually it does test that way since I am only testing for the existence of anything.

      Oddly the variables are there and they are working, but do not show in the global variable viewer.

      I have an image in img 1 and img 4

      Code:
      ?var->vstimg4
      = ‰PNG
      ?var->vstimg2
      = ""
      ?var->vstimg3
      = ""
      ?var->vstimg1
      = ‰PNG
      It has to be abug in the reader. No big deal Wonder if I should report it??

      I went ahead and reported it. It is a small bug, but cost me a couple hours of extra work and could save someone else more.

        To help anybody else needing to do this(an I am sure there are better ways) Here is the complete code I needed for the process. It counts the images(max is 4) and sets a counter field for the actual amout starting with 1 then 2. If they skip one of the image fields, it will not count the next field if there is one. Using this when you read an empty img field that is empty it gives "" and if it has something in it gives "%.png"

        Code:
        dim shared vstimg4 as c =""
        dim shared vstimg3 as c =""
        dim shared vstimg2 as c =""
        dim shared vstimg1 as c =""
        
        dim shared timg1 as L = .f.
        dim shared timg2 as L = .f.
        dim shared timg3 as L = .f.
        dim shared timg4 as L = .f.
        '-----------------------------------------
        dim vidnum as n
        dim t as P
        'read the id_num field from form
        var->vidnum = parentform.id_num.value
        dim vmode as n
        t = table.get("stuccoimg")  
        vmode = t.mode_get()
        	select
        		case vmode = 0
        			t.change_begin()
        		case vmode = 2
        			t.enter_end()
        			t.change_begin()	
        	end select
        dim shared nimages as n
        '-----------------------------------------Getting values from image fields
        var->vstimg4 = parentform:Img4.value
        var->vstimg3 = parentform:Img3.value
        var->vstimg2 = parentform:Img2.value
        var->vstimg1 = parentform:Img1.value
        
        if var->vstimg1 <> "" then
        	var->timg1 = .t.
        end if
        
        if var->vstimg2 <> "" then
        	var->timg2 = .t.
        end if
        
        if var->vstimg3 <> "" then
        	var->timg3 = .t.
        end if
        
        if var->vstimg4 <> "" then
        	var->timg4 = .t.
        end if
        
        select  'setting the number of images
        	case var->timg4 = .t. .AND. var->timg3 = .t. .AND. var->timg2 = .t. .AND. var->timg1 = .t.
        		var->nimages = 4
        	case var->timg4 = .f. .AND. var->timg3 = .t. .AND. var->timg2 = .t. .AND. var->timg1 = .t.
        		var->nimages = 3
        	case var->timg4 = .f. .AND. var->timg3 = .f. .AND. var->timg2 = .t. .AND. var->timg1 = .t.
        		var->nimages = 2
        	case var->timg4 = .f. .AND. var->timg3 = .f. .AND. var->timg2 = .f. .AND. var->timg1 = .t.

        end select
        
        t.howmany = var->nimages ' posting to the needed table
        t.change_end()
