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.

      Re: Charlie Crimmel search

      I just called his home and talked to someone there - didn't ask who she was, but might have been his daughter. She said Charlie's doing fine in his semi-retirement, and is out of town right now doing some work. She said he's been too busy to tend to Blue Star Enterprises so he's just doing other things.

      I asked her to tell Charlie that the Alpha community was missing him and wanted to make sure he was well.

            Re: Charlie Crimmel search

            Hello,

            My name is Jason Crimmel, Charlie's youngest son. I came across this thread on a Google search and after reading this I felt that I needed to register.

            Unfortunately my father passed away in June of 2011 at the age of 63. He had been battling stage IV cancer and fought bravely to the end. It really brings a smile to me face to read that members here are asking about him, and in some cases years after he had helped them.

            I know the Alpha community and those he helped throughout the years were very important to him and that's why I felt it was important for me to respond to this thread. If there was one thing my father truly loved doing it was developing in Alpha. Each day he spent as much time as he could writing applications, solving a problem for someone here, or maybe someone he had wrote a program for halfway across the country. In a way, I think his work with Alpha and you all really kept him going as long as he was able. When someone has a talent and really enjoys using that talent it can serve as motivation to keep going, to keep fighting, and to keep looking forward.

            Only a few days before my father passed, he told me that it was important that I destroy all of his Alpha files, applications, and backups on his computers. Coming from him and knowing how much time, and love he put into his work it seemed like a strange request. He said he had a lot of information in those files that needed to be destroyed when the time came. I really didn't want to do that because it seemed like destroying part of him. Even though I could never really grasp Alpha and the developing he did I know what he created was important to him. Knowing how important is was to him I know it must have been an equally important request.

            Anyways, I just wanted to check in with the community here and say thanks for thinking of him.

              Jason,
              Thanks for your post.

              I am one of the developers that Charlie helped. We worked jointly on a project back in maybe 2005.

              He was greatly appreciated by us all.

                Jason,

                Thank you letting us know about your father.

                He was a very generous and giving man and his last email and help to me was in May 2011. The help he gave enabled me to achieve more than just the project I was working at the time.

                He will be sorely missed.

                I wish you a long life.
                Regards

                    Please accept my condolences and best wishes along with those of Keith and Al. I sure as long as 'old time' Alpha users see this, they will add to this thread.

                      Jason - I met your dad a couple times and considered him a friend and good man. I'm sorry to hear that he is gone. He produced an incredible amount of very complex stuff with A5. He made the world a better place.
