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: Question RE: LQO in Script

    Just read your next thread....... Oh well, I guess it is what it is. Thanks for all your help Stan. I don't use filtered indexes either. I remember reading in past threads that this caused some headaches. Thanks again though.

      Re: Question RE: LQO in Script

      The index order expression doesn't need to evaluate to a logical value. Are you sure you didn't try to put that in the filter expression> If you want to try it you need to create a filter expression for this index. Probably easiest to use Tim's excellent suggestion

      index Name - composite
      index order expression - attorney+cdate(date_comp)+code
      index filter expression - at(ut(CODE),"ADNE-CD-CAN-C2-CNC-PB2-CNP-CNC2-CC2-IA-ISP-ISN-ITA-NAN-NPA-NUN-NSA-NSS-NON-NCZ-PBA-PV-SDNE-SSW-CMRA")>0)

      What was your experience with the speed variations between the suggested alternative filters?
      There can be only one.

            The index filter expression says it is invalid or incomplete the way it is......

              Re: Question RE: LQO in Script

              I saw little to no difference in time with any of the filters so far. I'm working on my machine with a copied version of the db. I wonder of this is one of those instances where it would work across the network but not on a standalone.....hmmmm..... who knows......

                Nope, should be much faster locally in all aspects of operation.

                    Well....... still no "soap". Still goes through all records. I don't think I'll use that one only because I'm not a fan of filtered indexes. I think I'll leave it at your previous suggestion using a collection and leave it at that. That is unless you can pull more rabbits out of your hat Stan.....lol.

                      Re: Question RE: LQO in Script

                      Well Stan, here's one for the books. I had one of my employees try it again, with the old script on the actual db, across the network, and its working fine. Taking only a few seconds. Now bear in mind, nothing has been changed on the original script as I have been working in a copied version to my stand alone machine. So....... I told them just use it and let me know if anything changes. This makes no sense to me as I tried it yesterday on the actual db and it took forever. I'm not going to question it, I'm just going to call it good and chalk it up to an A5 anomaly. Thanks again for all your help the last 2 days as it was invaluable to me.

                        Would lead me to believe the index was corrupt or it was out of date?

                        Also would be interesting to hear about the performance using the alternate filer expressions on the working database.
