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.

          Printing a report to a pdf or printer?

          Called from where?

            Printing a report to a printer. Only occurs for 1 report.
            All other reports print.

              What is different about this report?

              Is the printer chosen or assigned? Look at the report properties to see what printer should be used.

              How is the report called? From a form/dialog/toolbar/menu?

              Can you post an example of that report?

                Nothing different about this report.
                Printer is assigned to this & all other reports
                Report is called from a menu.
                It prints up to 3 pages & displays Card system parameter error 3020

                  Time to divide and conquer.

                  Can you point to another printer?

                  Is the report based on the same table/set as the others?

                  Second request for an example.

                      pdf is of limited value.

                      An example that I can run would be a zip of the table/set that the report is based one.

                      Do that and email it to me.

                          You emailed the .adb file.

                          Need the zip of the table or set that the report is based on.

                          Emailed those instructions to you when I got your email.

                          .adb has nothing of what is needed.

                            I picked the latest thread on this issue to inform about a possible cause and work around of this error.

                            In my case, the error does not appear in the developer version on Windows 7. It was an issue in Runtime on a Windows Server R8. The error presented itself when saving a report as PDF. The data was obtained through QODBC from a QuickBooks report.

                            Someone had mentioned in a very old thread that a memo field could have been the issue and that was exactly the cause of my getting the error. Recreating the memo field or repairing it did not work. I had to change the field to a calculated field limiting to 255 characters using left(Memo, 255). Issue cured. This work around may not be what is needed if you need more than 255 characters in a report.

                            I have no clue as to why. An odd thing I did notice is that QuickBooks, in their report, had truncated their Description field (memo) to 99 characters. It was brought over to Alpha as a Memo field. By presenting only a character field's limited character amount therefore did not affect what I needed.
