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.

      Stan,

      I'll check it out during lunch. You realize, of course, that I'll have to eat lunch in front of my computer rather than sitting on the dock at the lake (my, what a gourgous day we have here!!) If you were, here, I'd buy you lunch and we'd both sit on the dock....No, I think we'd go out on the lake and drop a line in the water!! Who cares if a fish is caught? Out on the lake on a day like today. I feel a nap coming on.

      Thanks for your help. I'll advise the outcome.

        Ken,

        Is there something within the field rules whereby you can select "re-evaluate field rules" that upon saving the changes in field rules will cause that rule to be re-evaluated for all records upon which the field rules were evaluated? If that is not selected, then only new or changed records will be re-evaluated???

        If so, is it possible that adding your mask to included the "-" and then removing it, did not re-evaluate all your records, causing you some sort of problem whereby some fields in some records had the "-" and some didn't?

        Thanks,
        Mike

          Ken,
          I am fairly new to ver 4, but I have a great amount of experience in version 1. The Expression left(dtos(invoice->date),6) does exactly what you need it to do. I downloaded your files and played with the report myself. The problem that I see is in the linking of the 2 databases in the set. It seems that there seems to be an issue of the "-" in the case numbers. The links look ok, but obviously, There is a problem. I looked at th default form in the set, and there was no child table data listed for most of the records in the parent table. The report is fine if you use the above expression for a group filter. You just need to find out why the data is not conecting.

            Mike,

            There is a "reevaluate rules" item on the field rules menu. This action does not occur automatically when field rules are edited and saved. Rules for a record are reevaluated whenever it is saved (or changed\resaved).

              Tom,

              Yup, Yup, You're right.

              Haven't had a chance to work with this today but will later this evening. Not all parent records have child records in the table. I'm not shre why there's a problem with the "-" as it works with other sets just fine. It also works well in my Access sets (at work). Just never had this problem before. I appreciate so many taking time to look at this. I never envisioned so may responses. It certainly is an interesting puzzel as Stan calls it. I'd like to determine why the table/s is/are acting diferently than what's it's supposed to act. Perhaps it's one of those computer things that we'll never get an answer to.

              Thanks,
