I have had Alpha Five v7 now for about a year and I have just pecked at it from time to time but I'm just about to kick it to the curb!
You guys have answered my previous posts which has allowed me to get as far as I have with this project so many thanks for your help!!!
Here is the problem, there are several:
1 - I want a dropdown control on the Industries form that lists all of the Industries in the Industry table. When the user selects an industry from this dropdown the Industries form should show the data for that industry. The way I have it now it works, BUT, from time to time when I'm going back and forth between design and preview modes it goes to a new record for some reason. This causes me to think the design is unstable and since I hope to sell this thing on the Internet one day I'm about to give up on Alpha Five. Can someone check the way I have the dropdown working and see if there is a more stable way to do this?
2 - As you can tell from the four "Script" buttons on the form I have tried several ways, including the OnRowDblClick event in the embedded browse, to open the form named Drives_Set to display the data for the selected row in the browse on form Industries. Works for the first industry, first drive, but if you select the second drive for the first industry it displays the data for the second indusrty.
Can someone please help find the problems so that I can learn. I love the friendly atomsphere of this forum and this keeps me trying to deal with Av7 but if I can't master more of it soon I'm moving over to Visual Foxpro.
Sorry for the whinnig but I've put in over 8 hours on this just today!
Thanks,
TD
