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.

    Desktop app using v12 runtime

    Will our application run on the v10 Web Application Server or must we attempt to get our client to purchase the new v12? Based on current price Alpha now charges, I am 100% sure they will stay with the v10 Web Server. This means we will not be able to upgrade their desktop version to v12....

    Thanks.

    Need a bit more information your post is as clear as mud!
    Are you looking at migrating a desktop app to a web app?

      Re: Desktop app using v12 runtime

      I hope this clears the MUD.

      Current build of our application DESKTOP uses Alpha 12 runtime. It does have an internet component using "our" Web server v12

      Our older build of desktop uses v10 runtime & web application web v10. This what a client has now.

      BUT they want to UPGRADE to our latest desktop which uses v12 runtime. More features & other goodies but they do not want to pay the high price to purchase another v12 Web Server.

      Thinking of what I am asking, it seems now obvious that he can not use our MOST current build DESKOP v12 with the older v10 web server. Am I right?

        Re: Desktop app using v12 runtime

        I'm not sure that it matters much if they are using the Desktop only. Alpha has made very few changes to the desktop from v10 to v12. I think (someone can correct me if I'm wrong), the few changes they have made mostly relate to xdialog. Beyond that, not much. Even then, you would have to be using the xdialog changes in your v12 edition to screw up there v10 RT. But just try running your v12 app in v10 RT and you will find out pretty quickly if there are any issues.

          You might have missed this "Our older build of desktop uses v10 runtime & web application web v10. This what a client has now." So they use the desktop & web internet version both in v10.....

          their problem is that they want to upgrade to our v12 DESKTOP but aren't willing to spend thousands buying the v12 web server app. so the a5webroot they have now have was made in v10.....would the a5webroot we make in the development v12 run on the old v10 web server app they now have? They have told us they will NOT buy the v12 web server app.

            A v12 web app won't run in a v10 web server. Not likely.
            But your v12 desktop app will likely run in the v10 RT.

              as the man said "no cigars"....looks like they will have to stick with v10 desktop & its internet component. Thats 2 bad as our new v12 desktop has a lot of new features but like I said they are not willing to buy another web server application (v12).

                v10 will usually run on v12, but your v12 apps might be too advanced for v10.
                I'm hoping that security is not a concern with the v10 app, or in the alternative,
                it is not exposed to the internet.

                    I have v7 apps that run fine using v12 runtime, but I stay away from using advanced features in the app. Makes life much more simple on upgrades.
                    W.O.D. is a nightmare on upgrades or downgrades most of the time.

                      Re: Desktop app using v12 runtime

                      one facility, one server, one application (using v12). they wanted to know what it would cost them to run our application on the internet All the programming is done but to work on the internet a client needs the v12 web server. Trying to pindown a cost for them but there are so many variations, not too sure. Help me sort out what they mite have to buy.

                      If the web server is now US$5000 per year, it is a non starter and they will stay with the Desktop app.

                      BIG thanks.

                        I don't use the web server, but can you not run more than one app on the same server? https://documentation.alphasoftware....subfolders.xml
