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.

    A5 v6 Debugger

    Hi, I feel really stupid - I can't see why asking v6 to open the debugger immediately freezes A5, It doesn't do it in A5 v5 - there I get a pretty little spider/ant on the toolbar which happily pops up when asked.

    With A5 and Opera loaded TuneUp is still reporting 128MB free RAM.

    Anyone any ideas?

    Feeling rather a prat

    Sorry Tom, my crystal ball broke.

    Please clarify what you meam by 'immediately'.

    1. Do you mean as first line in autoexec script?
    2. As setting which specifies open on error?
    3. As script for user logging in?
    4. As init event in a form?

    Please attach an app and instructions to duplicate.

      Hi

      I mean immediately. If I load A5 and then ask it to open the debugger beforedoing anything else it freezes. A5v5 doesn't.

        Tom,

        If I open Alpha Five from the Start Programs menu, I can use the View menu to open the debugger, even before I open a database. I'm using Build 1554 / 2046 on an XP (sp2) machine.

          Yes i can do that with A5v5 but A5v6 won't. However could it be that I'm short of Memory (228MB) or that I'm using Win2K SP3 ?

            1554/2046 is V6 (latest version as of now) and it's working on my system also. Sounds like you might be right about either memory or W2K.

              I don't know that it will solve this specific problem, but you should install SP4 and the subsequent updates on Windows 2000 for Alpha Five to run properly.

                I did wonder - Word is SP4 isn't as sound as it might be or is that just a rumour - Haven't gone there on the grounds that "I don't fix what ain't broke".

                Sounds like it might be broke !!

                Will try and report back

                  I've never had any SP4 problems. All of the Win2k servers I used to run all had it and my personal laptop that still has win2k on it also has SP4
