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: A5 Platinum !!!

      I bought CSDA_CodeUtility when Alpha offered it about 6 months ago and part of CSDA_CodeUtility's sales statement was it would work with "Alpha Five Version 9". I thought the, we just got V8! How much more do I have to spend to keep up with the wave? I'm just getting comfortable with v8. Anyway, I had a heads up 6 months ago.
      Thank You,

        More info for the upcoming Alpha Five (v9) PLATINUM release.

        If you want to be considered for joining the beta test program for Alpha Five (v9) PLATINUM, please just email me at [email protected] with some of your background and your use of Alpha Five up until now

        SOME ENCHANCEMENTS TO BROWSES

        Browses HTML Bubble Help Browse columns now have bubble help. The bubble help can be defined using HTML syntax and can include data from the current record. This video shows bubble help for an thumbnail image. When the mouse is over the image the full size image is shown. Watch video. http://www.alphasoftware.com/VideoNe...BubbleHelp.swf

        Defining HTML Bubble Help In this video we show how easy it is to create advanced bubble help that includes data, images from the current record and hyperlinks to invoke Xbasic events. Watch video. http://www.alphasoftware.com/VideoNe...BubbleHelp.swf


        Vertical Scroll Bar The size of the slider on the vertical scroll bar is now proportional to the number of records in the table and its position is now proportional to the logical position of the record in the table. Also, when you drag on the vertical slider, bubble help shows the key value of the record that would get focus if you were to stop dragging. Watch video. http://www.alphasoftware.com/VideoNe...lScrollbar.swf

        Browse Layout Controls When you are editing a Browse layout (stand alone and embedded), you can now insert 'Browse Layout Controls' in the browse. There are several types of Browse Layout Controls, such as buttons to open forms, run reports, run scripts, and insert icons. In this video we use a Browse Layout control to put hyperlinks in a browse column that open a form to show the current record. Watch video. http://www.alphasoftware.com/VideoNe...lsOpenForm.swf

        In the second video we put a dynamic icon in a browse column. We have a browse showing customers. Each customer has a credit rating between 0 and 5. We put a dynamic icon in a browse column that shows a 'five star' icon for customers with a rating of 5, a 'four star' icon for customers with a rating of 4 and so on. Watch video. http://www.alphasoftware.com/VideoNe...namicIcons.swf


        Embedded Browse Layouts You can now embed Browse Layouts in Xdialogs. Just design the Browse Layout in the Browse Layout editor and then a single command writes the Xdialog code for you. Watch video. http://www.alphasoftware.com/VideoNe...ddedBrowse.swf

        ALSO PLEASE CHECK THE blog for more info on Alpha Five (v9) PLATINUM

          Welcome to the world of technology. It is all about the upgrades. Thank God we get good value with each one. Staying with the cutting edge has never been inexpensive. :)

            Hello,


            Is there some out there using Alpha with an Oracle data base who has some time available for consulting?

            Has anyone purchased the:
            QReportBuilder: The First Report Writer Built Expressly for QuickBooks.

            Any comments you care to share with me would be most appreciated; good bad and ugly, etc.

              We have and are using both V8 and V9 with an Oracle 8i database (not supported officially) - we had to use the ODBC driver to get this to work without running up too many processes on the DB, otherwise this now seems to work very well (there were some issues with table listings failing in the database explorer because system tables can't be viewed, but this has been fixed and I can use the query genie etc. without a problem).

              I am in the UK but feel free to email me with questions!

                  What are you thinking?

                  Alpha Five Version 9 Platinum Edition
                  Alpha Five Platinum offers everything in Version 8 plus: Full desktop and web read-write SQL Connectivity ......
                  That would include Vista compatibility.
                  There can be only one.

                    Version 9 is fully supported on Vista.

                      Yeah, I have been running it on Vista and XP since the day I downloaded the first beta version. No problems.

                        Re: A5 Platinum !!!

                        I see the confusion.

                        But version 9 is fully Vista compatible.

                        There was a link on our website about Vista that we posted when Version 8 was released. I have updated the linking page so that it explains Version 8 and Version 9 are both Windows compatible.

                        Thanks for the "Cuidado" Warren. :-)
