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.

    Grid and the detail view

    I watched a demo that demonstrated a finished method of displaying the grid view and a hyperlink which would take you to a seperate view for the detailed view. How is this performed?

    RE: Grid and the detail view

    George check out the samples in the
    "web applications demo database"

    in particular look at

    Customer_wDetailView.a5wcmp

    Items of Note

    The page contains a Grid component called 'Customer_wDetailView'
    The Grid style has been set to 'Tabular' and the Grid is read-only.
    The style chosen for this Grid is 'IceCreamSundae'.
    The Search part is enabled, but is initially hidden.
    The Search part has been set to display a single 'keyword' field in which you can search. A keyword search is a special kind of search in which Alpha Five will search in all of the fields that you define in the Search part for a match.
    The component has a 'Detail View' part which is updateable. The Detail View part allows you to both edit and enter records.

    Things to Try

    Click the 'Search for Customers' heading. The search form is revealed. Click the heading a second time, and the search form is hidden. You can specify whether the initial state of the search form is hidden or shown when you check the 'Enable show/hide of Search part' property.
    Open the Search form and type 'phoe, smi' (without the quotes) and click the Search button. As you see, Alpha Five finds records with a lastname that includes the characters 'smi' and cities that include the characters 'phoe'.
    Click on the link field (in the Customer Id column) in any row of the Grid. The Detail View displays a detailed view of the selected records. Try making updates to the record, and then click the 'Save' button.
    Add a new record by clicking the 'New record' link in the Grid part.

      RE: Grid and the detail view

      Thanks Richard, I looked at the demo file but still did not see what I was trying to do. I am expecting to have the tabular view with my "Name" field settings as a hyperlink to the detail view of the record. Right now the detail section is at the bottom of the tabular view (same page). What I am wanting is for the user to be taken to a new page showing only their chosen record. Once there they can update or delete this record and upon submitting, be taken back to the tabular view page.

      Thanks for your enduring patience.

      George

        Perhaps an image will explain better than I can describe.

          Should I add this topic to the new Web Application Server forum?
