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.

          Hi,

          I have had a similar problem.

          I have redone the browse.
          I have gone into object properties and set the row height that I want.
          I have saved it all.

          But, everytime I go into the form, the row height resets itself. Why will it not save the row height?

              No Clue!! But if a sample is given that illustrates this problem, I imagine a reason will be found as to why your database is acting contrary to what occurs on others.

                Re: browse element row height change ... how?

                I've attached the form without the database files. Is that going to work, or do I need to attach the data files too? I just didn't want to send the personal data along.
                It's basically happening to all the embedded browses, and it's not just the row height but the column size that reverts back. I've followed the instructions on this thread, and still, I close it then open it and it reverts back.
                Sometimes it saves the sizes and sometimes it doesn't happen until I open and close it a few times. I also don't know what else I'm doing to make it happen, but I certainly know I'm not adjusting it back, and I know I've saved it.
                Thanks for any ideas.

                  Brad,
                  Without the .adb, .alm, .alb, and .alx files a "helper" has to create a new database---but to add the tables .dbfs/.sets have to be present. Easy enough to zip up with data, open it up (which also verifies that most likely others can do so too), and delete any sensitive records. Just make certain it is the zipped database you do this to of course!!!!

                  Gone for the day, but others should be able to help once this is done....if not I'll come back to it when I get back in the evening.
                  Mike

                    I am having the same problem on a couple windows...I am UNABLE to find the Object Explorer you mention. I do see Object -> Properties but in Properties I don't see anywhere to modify row height. Any help is really appreciated.

                      With a form open in design mode the View Menu second to last choice should be Object Explorer.
                      There can be only one.

                        Re: browse element row height change ... how?

                        Adding to the above,

                        Go into design mode, View, Object explorer, Choose the browse your trying to size, Row_height, Set as needed. Save.

                        This kind of works. I set to 20, but goes to 17. Way better then 1 like it was. Not sure it will hold.
                        Onto fix column wide next. Fun, this is not.

                          The above did not work. Sorry, still searching for alternative fix.

                            I'll say the same as I did before as using the Object Explorer and/or xbasic to set the row height does work....which means something else is at work against your doing this...When you say "The above did not work..." I take that to mean you have tried recreating the browse, used the row selector, used the object explorer, and used xbasic??

                            A sample database would help all to help you...and much faster overall most times.

                            Other possibles are to close and reopen Alpha and compact the Database (workspace).

                            You did not mention what version you are using which could be important.

                              You can set the row height in the onInit event of the browse.

                              topparent.Row_height = 30 or what ever number you want.

                              or an embedded browse

                              topparent:Brw_embedded.Row_height = 30

                                This is a function I modified to set the row height, you could use it in a button or a script to call the browse.

                                First open a browse and set it to the width and height you want and use the Object Explorer to get the dimensions to use, or use with my defaults
                                Default Ex: vw_brw_row("yourbrowsename")
                                Ex 2: vw_brw_row("yourbrowsename",1260,715)
                                Ex 3: Ex: vw_brw_row("yourbrowsename",800,500,15,15,20)

                                Code:
                                FUNCTION vw_brw_row as L (layoutname as C,xwidth=850 as N,yheight=640 as N,xleft=0 as N,ytop=0 as N,rwh=18 as N)
                                'DESCRIPTION: use to call a named browse with a set size and placement; opens on last record
                                	DIM brw as P
                                	dim xpos as c
                                	dim ypos as c
                                	brw = obj(":"+object_Name_normalize(word(layoutname,1,"@")))
                                	IF .not. is_object(brw) THEN
                                		brw = :browse.load(layoutname)		
                                	END IF
                                	evaluate_template(layoutname+".row_height = "+rwh)
                                	if xwidth > 0 then

                                	if yheight > 0 then
                                	    brw.height = yheight
