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.

    how to post back values - field rules

    hi all,

    i have an invoicing system with a void button...

    Code:
    topparent:void.value = .t.
    topparent.Commit()
    topparent.Close()

    my void button voids the invoice but the problem is, the values in qty field does not post back to products table onhand field. how to delete the items on a "use named browse layout" so it can post back the values? preferred solution should be included the void button codes.

    any thoughts will be highly appreciated.

    how to delete the items on a "use named browse layout" so it can post back the values?
    You probably need to set the values in the qty field to the negative of the current values first, assuming you are posting by subtraction to the products table. Then void the invoice.
    There can be only one.

      Re: how to post back values - field rules

      Francis, I'm not following the script you posted. It seems to set the value property of an object named "void" to a logical true, then commits the record. Unless I'm missing something here I see nothing that would trigger the post field rule to fire. Is there another script somewhere that deletes the record or zeros out the quantity from the current transaction? I'm not seeing the whole picture. What am I missing?

        tom you are right. i just toggle the logical field "void" bec i still want to see the voided transactions. and therefore, no record is deleted.

        i have an idea but i dont know if its the best practice or best way to have the voided transaction saved before its deleted. what i have in mind is dump the report to pdf file or is it better to dump the records to a temp table for admin viewing purpose?

        what i have implemented is dumping the report to file but i was thinking if lots of transactions have been voided, the admin who wish to view the voided reports will end up viewing them one by one.

        Code:
        topparent:void.value = .t.
        topparent:paid.value = .t.
        topparent.Commit()
        
        'dump the report to archive sub folder of the app in pdf format
        record_number = current_record_number()
        query.filter = "recno() = " + record_number
        query.order = ""
        :Report.Archive("Invoice",query.filter,query.order)
        
        'delete item details code goes here
        
        'close the form
        topparent.Close()
        will try to figure out how to delete the records on details table so the posting rules will be triggered.

        any help with this will be highly appreciated...

        TIA
        Francis
