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.

    XBASIC - Right Click Doesn't Work

    Hey, I'm having problem and I wonder if I'm the only one. The problem occurs when writing Xbasic scripts, it doesn't happen all of the time, but it does happen far too often.

    For example, when writing code, if I right click when the list of indexes or tables should pop up, either nothing happens or I get a "Nul" popping up instead of the Index List. I then have to lookup the index or tables names and write them in manually.

    If you are referring to the autocomplete in the code editors, the only problem I have had is being sure the cursor is actually in the correct position. If it isn't right over "tablename" or whatever, I sometimes just get the code editor right click menu. Another problem which I create is starting to enter something and then right clicking. If there is already some entry for the value, the autocomplete will not open. But that is me doing it wrong, not a program issue.

      Robert,

      The right click works for me most of the time, but not always. It never works in the little events xdialog box.

        Yes Jerry, I am referring to the autocomplete feature. For example, I'll type:

        table.open(

        This is the point in time where I place my cursur just to the right of the open parentheses, right click, and the list of tables should pop up. It used to work, but now it doesn't happen.

        Same thing with

        T.Index_Primary_Put(

        Instead of seeing a list of indexes associated with "T", I will get a "Nul".

          That is one problem I have never seen. By any chance are you using Win98 or ME? I am using Win2000 and XP exclusively as I have had too many issues with 98 in many programs.

            Hi Jerry:

            No, I'm using Win 2000 with all of the latest patches, as well as the latest patch for A5.

            I'm wondering if I changed a Systems Settings [Preference] that somehow controls that right click in the Code Editor. But then again, right clicking does work properly in some situations [just cannot remember when], so that may not be the problem.

              Instead of taking your hands off the keyboard and right-clicking your mouse, you can alternatively use CTRL+down to get the pop-up

                Lenny:

                You're right, it worked perfectly. However, this is much harder than right-clicking with a mouse because I have to do two things simultaneously. I have to hold down the Control Key with one hand and press the down arrow with the other hand. It's almost like multi-tasking, and as Valerie has said many times, I cannot multi-task.

                Despite my inability to multi-task, that was a good tip.

                Thanks,
                Robert T
