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.

    Super Control Calendar

    Hi All in V9,

    Please see attached app that was developed way back.

    I would like some help bringing this upto date with the new Super Calenadar Control.

    All help will be greatly appreciated and can be shared by others in this forum.

      Keith,

      There are probably not many (any) responses, since you are not very clear as to what you want this to do or what the application is supposed to do.

        Re: Super Control Calendar

        Hi Bill,

        Thanks for your reply.

        What I would like to do is have the Calendar on a form that refreshes a browse to show all the records which match the selected date on the calendar.

        The example I attached in my first post was using the MS Office ActiveX calendar.

        I hope that explains better what I am trying to achieve.

          Re: Super Control Calendar

          I'd say the simplest thing is to download the trial and just give it a go - the calendar control is easy to use so I don't see why this shouldn't work (not that I have used it THAT much!).... :)

            Hi Andrea,

            Thanks for your reply.

            I do have a copy of A5V9 that is how I know about the Super Control.

            Have you managed to get the Calendar to refresh a Browse?

            Could you please email me directly.

              dont know if this helps Keith.

                to the Supercontrol OnDateSelect Event

                  Hi Bill,

                  Thanks for your suggestion.

                  Regretfully this does not seem to work. Is there something else I could try.

                  Just to recap, what I would like to happen is, when a date is clicked on the Calendar, the Browse is refreshed and filtered on a date with the records that match the date on the calendar.

                      Bill,

                      That works just just perfict, as we say!

                      Thanks for picking up on this and providing a solution we can all share.

                        Hi Bill,

                        I have come back to this again as it seems not to work quite as I thought in the first place. Each time a date is selected, the field in the parent is being changed.

                        In simple terms, using Alpha Sports as the example.

                        How would you show in a browse, all the Invoices that were issued on a date that is selected from the Super Calendar?

                        In other words the Invoice_Header is not linked to a parent.
                        Regards

                          You may be able to bind the calendar control to a variable and onchange filter the browse?

                              Keith,

                              My xdialog as above binds to a variable and therefore would not change the underlying table, did you ever try it?
