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.

    One table at a time?

    I am using QReportBuilder alpha five v. 8 build 1963, QODBC version 8.00.00.242. I have created my first report and I am really pleased. My problem is that I have to refresh one table at a time. When I try to refresh 2 or more, my Windows Vista locks up and I get the message of "Not Responding". I have waited for several minutes to make sure nothing was happening. When I refresh one table at a time, I have no problems and it refreshes in only a few seconds for most tables. I have gone through and refreshed all tables one at a time. Please help! This is really slow to have to do it this way. Am I doing something wrong?

    Something doesn't sound right.....

    The sum of the parts should equal the whole. So refreshing individually vs refreshing all should be a similar time with each table.

    Can you run the report and refresh only the tables for the report or is there some preprocessing that you are doing that requires the refresh to happen in a script?

      I don't know how to refresh just the report tables without manually picking the tables and clicking refresh. When I do this, the same thing happens.
      I have tried single user mode, multi user mode, logging on as admin, and as individual user and no difference in the results.
      When I refresh one table at a time, I get the small "Status" windows that pop up in the bottom right corner of the screen. I can see the progress and there might be as many as 6 windows pop up as it is refreshing one table. When I pick more that one, all I get is a small window in the upper left of my screen and it is titled "Please wait" and in a few seconds, it adds after please wait "(not responding)".
      I have not used and do not understand scripting. So unless I have included something unknowingly, there should not be a problem with script.
      I can send you the file if you would like to look at it.

        When you preview the report, you should get a message asking if you want to refresh the data.

        If not, then send me your report. I'll send you a private message with the way to upload a zip file to me.

            Are you running the preview from the QRB home page? That's where it will ask about the refresh.... I just sent you a private message.

              Re: One table at a time?

              Ok, here is what I just tried. Open the program and QB. From the home page, I clicked on preview report. It ask me to pick a report. Then it ask me if I wanted to refresh tables and I picked yes. It updated the tables perfectly in less that 1 minute. Then I closed the report and tried to refresh 4 other tables that I picked manually and I had the same old problem. At least I can refresh all the tables in a particular report at the same time.

              I got your message and will send report.

              Thanks again for your help.

                I'm having the same problem on both my laptop and desktop. It says I'm using the sample database even though I have QB open and created a new project. It allows me only to Refresh 1 table at a time, any more than 1 table selected to refresh and it freezes up and I have to kill the program.

                  Sounds like you might have the QODBC driver status panel open with a Alpha 5 panel also.

                  1. Try creating an action script that refreshes the tables with the silent option.

                  2. Or turn off the QODBC driver status panel.

                  Either method should put you back on track...
