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.

    Editing security system users

    I have tried to duplicate the Add/Edit users example in the sample pages, and mostly it is working, but my situation is (of course) a bit different, and I'm having some trouble.

    In my case, any one of four different types of users may be logging in: employees, suppliers, customers, or contacts. So, with help from the board, I have a user_details form with a dropdown to specify what type of user and four show/hide fields, each with a different lookup to get the Id code. All that works fine. I can enter and change users successfully.

    The trouble comes in selecting an existing name off the name list and populating the dialog with the values. The user Id, the password, the startup page and the groups all populate correctly, but I can't seem to get the dropdown nor the Id code to populate. In the picture, Employee is the default, but I should be shown as a Contact. The code I'm using in the initialize event is:

    Code:
     
    Dim ulink as C
    a5ws_get_user_values(CurrentForm,request)
    vUID=left(Ulink,1)
    select
        case vUID="E"
         CurrentForm.Controls.LookupEM.value=ulink
         CurrentForm.Controls.vUserType="Employee"
        case vUID="C"
         CurrentForm.Controls.LookupCU.value=ulink
         CurrentForm.Controls.vUserType="Customer"
        case vUID="S"
         CurrentForm.Controls.LookupSP.value=ulink
         CurrentForm.Controls.vUserType="Supplier"
        case vUID="P"
         CurrentForm.Controls.LookupCO.value=ulink    
         CurrentForm.Controls.vUserType="Contact"
    end select
    Anyone see where I'm going wrong?

      Pat,

      Where were the sample pages you mentioned for editing the security details of a user? I need to do this as well, but the What's New in v8 seems to only have the normal login component. Was there a sample that showed an edit dialog similar to your attached image?

      Bill.

        Bill,

        In the Web Applications Demo. The components are called DialogUserList and DialogWebUsers.

          Pat,

          Now I see what happened. I did not notice that I was not logged in, so when I previously clicked on the "edit users" page I got a login page. That page shows guids by the user names, so I wonder if there is a problem in recent builds. also I get the attached error when trying to edit the DialogWebUsers component. Again, maybe a recent problem.

          So the little glitches had me looking at trees and not the forest. At least I think I am back on the trail now. Thanks.

          Bill.

            Hi Pat,

            YOUR PROBLEM
            Code:
            The trouble comes in selecting an existing name off the name list and populating the dialog with the values. The user Id, the password, the startup page and the groups all populate correctly, but I can't seem to get the dropdown nor the Id code to populate.
            I have a need to Add/Edit users but i cannot seem to retrieve the email address from websecurity to populate the dialog after selecting a username. The username and password appear but not email address.

            I am using the same alpha example.

            How did you resolve your issue?

            Denis
