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.

    adding PDF reports to WEB app. Video

    I have 2 questions:

    1- If the report is based on a set, the properties for the afterValidate doesn't show the tables in the set to add conditions for filtering when you click on Insert genie and pick print reports. It only shows the fields in the first table in that set.!!!!

    2- for the type 1=ALL, 2=Selected
    Can you select more than one in the selected choice, or does it have to be either ALL or only one from the selected drop down box ?

    That would bebecause sets aren't used/usable in WAS I believe

    2- for the type 1=ALL, 2=Selected

    I am sure you can code that either way you want, whatever your needs are, surely?

      The answer to the first question is, Yes the Genie in AfterValidate DOES show all of the related tables in a Set. Look again, under Filter Expression you will find all of the related tables in the dropdown box. Or you can manually reference a related table with this syntax: mytable->myfield. Example: "(( \"A\" $ Client ) ) .and. (( \"R\" $ Tr_Clients->Client_name ) )"

      On question two, where do you see "for the type 1=ALL, 2=Selected"? What are you referring to?

        Steve;

        I will try that for number 1 but definately the Genie doesn't show the tables in a set. It shows the first table only.

        for the second qeustion, when I designed the component to pick a report to print, you make choices for the user to select ALL records or based on some filtering of a specific field(s).

        Please see attached. if you would like to see the component setup let me know.

          See the image. Tables in the Set. AfterValidate > Insert > Genie > PrintReport > Select a report based on Set > Filter.

          Your RadioBox only selects one or the other. But if you make the dropdownbox height > 1, then you have the option for multi-select. Then look for examples on the board about using ".dump" to extract those selections to a list or array for use in the filter.

              In the drop down box where you see Account, you should see the other tables in your set. You will not see all fields for all tables. You must select the table first using the drop down.

                If you look at the image carefully you will see that I'm selecting the table "Account" not the fields.
                That's the only table that's available.

                  If anything like the desktop (and it shouldn't be I would think) the only tables seen in situations like this are the parent and any one-to-many children....one-to-one children cannot be used (from the genie at least). I have found this to be true with most operations and such.

                    The set I'm using is:

                    Account -> Feed (one to many)
                    Feed ->Salecode (one to one)


                    So is that the problem ?

                      Most likely not as you should still be able to see the Feed table which is one-to-many.

                      But is not very hard to test out these types of things right--try a simple set that is similar to see. Will know then in a matter of a minute or two I would think.

                        I tested the same database with only one to many set and it still didn't show the tables so I guess one to one is not causing the problem, it must be somthing else.

                          In your image that's the right Filter Builder screen for a set. The same screen for a table looks different. Could it be that you have two reports with the same name, one based on a table? (I did test this and it seems not to matter). Also, I see the code in your Activate event screen, just try (on a new dialog) omitting all that and only using the Print Report genie on the AfterValidate event to see if the stuff on the Activate event page conflicts.

                          -- the below corrects some inaccurate information in previous posts
                          1) Also, if you compare Set to what you see in the (web) Filter Builder, you will see that is only ONE-to-ONE children that show up, not 1-m. (Except your case, where neither seem to show up.:() So, are your relationships one-to-one? And if so, do you have any additional non-default settings in your set structure?

                          2) FYI - on Reports, the Filter Builder shows BOTH 1-1 and 1-m.

                            Hey!! Thanks Steve for pointing out the differences. Looks like I must have had a freudian slip when I first posted

                            I intended the opposite which apparently is wrong. And I was just throwing out what I thought were similar possibilities but obviously just showed my inexperience with the Web Side !! :)

                              One thing is for sure, I do have the same name for a table and one for a set. I will try to create a unique report on a set and start with a new dialoge to test this.
                              In the set I have there's nothing special, all defaults, no expressions.
