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.

    Program Termination

    I'm running A55 build 1248 on a Gateway Solo 6500 w/ 512 meg of RAM. When editing a form with a browse control, if I bring up the properties for the browse, A5 will terminate. No memory message, no system crash. A5 simply terminates. I have also seen this in the Code Editor when working on Action Scripts. I've changed to a generic text printer driver, but to no avail. Its difficult to work around this; I'm open to suggestions at this point. Thanks!

    Get build 1253, but I don't have this problem. Works fine.

      RE: Program Termination

      I've updated to 1253 and am still having problems. I'd guess some type of video driver or print driver conflict, but its almost impossible to work around.

        Clint, what OS are you running A5 on?

          W2k with sp2. BTW, by video card is an ATI Rage Mobility-M1 AGP. Any little mouse movement with certain dialog boxes in focus will terminate A55 in my configuration.

            RE: Program Termination

            Change the video driver to generic vga at 12 colors (or whatever is at the bottom) and see if you still have the problem.

              RE: Program Termination

              And the answer is .....printer driver. As long as I have a generic text driver I can work in the program. If I print to anything from any program other than a generic text driver, then A5 will abort. At the very least, I have to log off and log back in.

                Clint, it may be of some help to others if you post the details concerning your printer and your driver. You might also look into the possibility of obtaining a newer driver from the printer manufacturer, or possibly an older driver made for an earlier model of your printer. You might be able to install that driver using a different printer name, and then use that particular printer setup with your Alpha Five reports. -- tom

                  Yes, let us know the printer make and model, and we'll investigate the problem.

                    as well as the driver version you're using.

                        RE: Program Termination

                        I also had an early terminate several times. I was working on a REPORT for a client. I went to rename the REPORT to keep a good copy before further edits.

                        After several attempts of using the "rename" command (under the right click) the program would terminate.

                        If I used the DUPLICATE command, it worked fine.

                        I'm on a Dell Laptop (currently) with OS Win 2000.
