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.

    Multiple Browse per window?

    I wish I had a printed manual because I hate asking questions but here goes. I have a window with multiple browse's, each browse has different query criteria but on the same table. No matter what I do, the tables come up with the same results. It appears the second browse query supercedes the first browse. Is there a way around this?

    RE: Multiple Browse per window?

    Les, I think I can explain why this is happening but I cannot suggest a reliable work around. The embedded browse object you drop on the form is bound to the one instance of the table which is in the set supporting your form. Each additional browse object is bound to the same instance of your table. When the view in one changes, they all change. Others have experimented with complex set designs in which multiple instances of the table are linked into a single set. Each separate instance could theoretically have its own browse object. I have not adopted this approach, preferring instead to keep things simple, and just use buttons to change the view in a single browse object. -- tom

      RE: Multiple Browse per window?

      Thank you for the explanation. I am working on a scheduling package where there is one record for the apointment that holds th start and end dates. I was attempting to have a 7 day view on the window with a seperate browse for each day of the week. The browse for each day would be based on a moving date so you could move forward or back. I really didn't want to have to create a seperate entry for each day of the stay.
      I may have to re-think my approach.

        One more thing, I am not using an embedded brows, it's a browse by expression so I can only pull the dates within a set range. Don't know if that makes a difference.

          Les,

          An approach I use when doing scheduling is to hold the Date in a parent table - Week begin on "your date"

          Now create a set with the child have a date field, calculated to be filled from the parent table above.

          Also include 7 fields in the child table, one for each day of the week to hold what you are scheduling - employee names.

          Now on a form, show the browse with the 7 fields, and DO NOT show column heading on your browse. On the form, add 7 calculated fields, to hold the calculated dates for the seven days of the week. Each above the appropriate browse column so it looks like a browse heading.

          Hope the above is clear enough.

          Tom

              I'm new to Alpha so if there is a different way or function to get a multiple lists of records within date specifications on the same window I am open for suggestions. I won't be editing the records, just viewing them for scheduling purposes. The Scheduling is for a kennel. Dogs come in at different dates and stay for different durations of time. maybe a browse was the wrong choice?
