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.

    Find by Key Window

    I'm not certain how to explain this error, but it seems to be related to recent builds of Alpha Anywhere.

    Currently running Alpha Anywhere v 12.4.5.4.7 Build 5487

    There are possibly two separate issues occurring:

    First, the find by key window opens when you click it, but then after making a change in the record it will not open again. The specific change is on an embedded table "visits", and we are pulling up a lookup table to get a counselor ID that fills counselor name. after this table opens and closes the find by key dialog window will not open again until you close and reopen the form. If you click the icon the main application top bar will change colors (as though it has gone inactive) but the window will not come up.

    I read somewhere on the forum where someone had a similar issue and changing values in the registry fixed it. This does not fix the problem for me.

    the other issue: When you first open the application, I've noticed some graphical issues where the status/information bar at the bottom of the form (where it would tell you Record number, Set, Caps lock, etc) is overlayed on the area where the tabs appear (control panel, forms, reports, etc). Hovering the mouse over this area makes the status bar go away. see attached screenshots for example.capture1.JPGCapture2.JPGCapture3.JPG

    Not sure if the errors are related, but we did notice them both at the same time (after updating all machines to this build).

    Probably time to report a BUG and roll back to an earlier version.

      Re: Find by Key Window

      Well... in my attempt to submit a bug I created a copy of the database and cleared out all data (emptied tables/packed).

      When I entered a few test records for demonstration purposes, issue #1 doesn't happen anymore.

      Any ideas?

        Possibly the FBK process was corrupt.
        Did you rebiuld the indexes?

          Re: Find by Key Window

          I'm not able to do much - I apparently have a separate issue of there being a "table in use" error... if I open the Workspace information it shows that my main set is open, when it's not. Trying to close it with the command in Interactive Window does nothing.

          At any rate, I have now rolled back to the December 14, 2017 build... which is the last build that doesn't create the original errors for me. Something about the next build must have made my database unhappy.

            Re: Find by Key Window

            Do you have a form for the errant set that won't close, that you opened? Chances are there is a script error on that form or perhaps some index problem Alpha is coming across. So that when you close the form, the tables are not closing.
