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.

    Script help.

    Al and other still having two problems with my script.
    1) report comes back with a pop-up and asks do I want to refresh "Yes" or "NO" .
    2) The report populates the email all looks good , however, the email is waiting for me to hit the send button can this be automated?

    Here she is.

    'Refresh data in Passive-Link table(s)

    DIM tableList as c
    tableList = <<%txt%
    item
    iteminventory%txt%
    dim count as n
    count = line_count(tableList)
    dim i as n
    dim pr as p
    dim table_i as c
    for i = 1 to (count)
    table_i = word(tableList,i,crlf())
    pr =a5_RefreshPassiveLinkTable(table_i,.f.,.f.)
    if pr.error = .t. then
    ui_msg_box("Error","Table data was not refreshed: '" + table_i + "'." + crlf(3) + "Error reported was: " + crlf()+pr.errorText,UI_STOP_SYMBOL)
    end if
    next i

    'Send a report, label, letter, form or browse layout as an attachment to an e-mail message. You can specify which records to send.

    query.filter = ""
    query.order = ""

    to_param = a5_eval_expression("[email protected]",local_variables())
    cc_param = a5_eval_expression("[email protected]",local_variables())
    bcc_param = a5_eval_expression("",local_variables())
    subject_param = a5_eval_expression("File from Night time",local_variables())
    message_param = a5_eval_expression("worked",local_variables())


    :Report.Send("JoAnn 2","PDF",query.filter,query.order,"default",to_param,subject_param,message_param,cc_param,bcc_param)

    <object>.send()
    http://support.alphasoftware.com/alp...SEND%28%29.htm

    Note : This method requires that the user press the Send key to complete the transmission. as a result <OBJECT>.SEND()is not appropriate for use in web applications. To send a report as an attachment without user interaction, create the attachment with REPORT.SAVEAS() and send it with EMAIL_SEND() or EMAIL_SEND2().

      Re: Script help.

      Thank you for the quick reply
      However do I just replace the line to read this way;

      :Report.Send("JoAnn 2","PDF",query.filter,query.order,"default",to_param,subject_param,message_param,cc_param,bcc_param)

      <object>.send("JoAnn 2","PDF",query.filter,query.order,"default",to_param,subject_param,message_param,cc_param,bcc_param)

            John

            Looks like a small error in action scripting..

            Code:
            par[SIZE=7][COLOR=Red][B]a[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]m_to = "[email protected]"
            
            Script:Joann 2 New Line:26
            send_result = email_send(parm_to, param_attachments)
            Variable "parm_to" not found
            Notice the missing 'a' in param_to vs parm_to

            Right click the action script - convert to xbasic and then edit parm_to to param_to

            In the meantime, we'll get the tech team to fix that....

                  BTW Al or others do you see anyway to remove the second refresh. The first one runs silent, however, I'm getting a second pop up asking me to refresh the data.

                  Thanks

                    Al,

                    Great Webinar today, however, I may have missed a step. Below is the standard Script, did I have to add anything additional to the script because she still asked to refresh the table, even though we changed it from a passive link table.

                      I don't see a call to the import operation...

                      Does that get called from somewhere else?

                      Check the icon on the table to see if it shows a passive link or not..

                            Are there any other tables in the set that the report is built on?

                            If so, are they still passive linked tables?

                              All I thought you had for a minute there was a second table I added it to the operation we wrote, however still the same result. Both tables show no link.
