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.

    Missing Code!

    In my latest A5A6 application I have created three Display XDialog Box web browsers with pre-set URL�s. I launch these dialogs from a left hand vertical navigation bar, however - I am now running out of screen. For example � I have designed my application to fit a 1024 x 768 and my last three icons will not fit. The three icons launch the browsers perfectly but no space to include them!

    So I have made a single launch icon in the Nav. Bar with the following code.

    The code I am using does not launch the browsers when I make a selection � what is missing form my code?

        Al,
        During my pasting of the data in the last posting the error jumped out and bit me on the nose!!!

        The cose for the for the browser names was missing the 'Open', thus the scipt should have been:

          Let me know if there is anything else that we can help you with! ;-)

          Glad that you found the problem. It's therapeutic to set up the question with the code for others. I've found many answers to problems just before pressing the send message button.

          It's actually a lot easier (for the answerers) to send the database with the minimal amount of code needed and enough explanation so someone else can recreate the situation.
