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.

          It only happens when you try to make a new table in 'design mode' all other 'new' functions seem to work OK

              The latest patch is now 1536-2014 and it works fine. No problem creating a new table.

                    Something strange is going on. I have 2015 loaded and it's working fine. You might want to try re-installing the update. Make sure no other A5 processes are running when you do it - i.e., either reboot or check the Processes tab under the Task Manager and kill all Alpha5 processes.

                      I managed to get ahold of Tech Support via the phone on this one and we managed to fix the problem by copying all of the null.*** files from a working computer to the non-working computer.

                      Obviously for this to work you have to be in an environment with a couple different machines running A5V6 and one of them has to be working correctly. Perhaps not of much help to everyone but might shed some light on the problem. It helped me.

                        I did as suggested, rebooted, reinstalled and same problem. I also have the same problem on my notebook.

                        I can get along right now by first building it using the text problem. No problem.

                        Will wait until problem is solved.

                        Thanks,

                            I also had this problem. I was finally able to resolve the issue by copying all of the null.* files from the A5V6 directory on a machine running version 2012. Hope a new update comes out soon.

                              We're trying to figure out why this has occurred. In the meantime, you should be able to either copy null.* from your A5v5 folder or add null.dbf to a database and open the default browse, thus creating the data dictionaries.
