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.

    SQL error message: expecting RPAREN, found "LEFT"

    I am trying to create a grid against a remote Database accessed via AlphaDAO. I want to base it on a SQL Select Statement, but when I insert the SQL statement it gives me the following error: line 82:1: expecting RPAREN, found �LEFT�. I am not sure why it is giving me this error because my whole database was created with no problems using the same statement. Has anybody ever encountered this error message?

    Re: SQL error message: expecting RPAREN, found "LEFT"

    I think if you look at your sql select syntax you will find an error. That's what it was for me.

            Wow, what a select statement.

            I am not sure of why you are doing this in two different functions. I would think that the first method using substr() function would be the prefered way. It seems as though the error is pointing to the left() function. I would retry the statement without that section of code to pinpoint the error.

              As far as I know alltrim is not an SQL function is an XBasic Function I think you are mixing things up the statemented should be in SQL language only

                Mauricio,

                alltrim() is one of Alpha's portable SQL functions. Here's a link to a list http://alphafivewiki.com/Portability+Functions Note the "Not Supported By" column in the link for database specifics.
