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.

    Symbols

    We are using the Euro(�) symbol in Quickbooks but when Qreportbuilder reads the info and creates the report it puts an ? symbol instead of the � symbol.

    Any ideas on how to keep the � symbol???

    Thanks

      Re: Symbols

      OK I read the link but I think my situation is a little different.

      I am getting the full name of an item and because it comes from europe we named it Delta:ICS�.

      Now when I create the report it gives me in the name column Delta:ICS?

        Please post a snapshot of that and/or export the report with data and send to me.

            Re: Symbols

            Thanks for the snapshot.

            I created a test in my QB with a euro symbol (asc code - 128) and found that the symbol is not passed during the refresh of the data. I saw this by browsing the item table after a refresh. I'll submit a question to QODBC to see if this is intended.

            In the meantime, you can build a table to hold the description of items within your QRB datamart and replace the ? with � where appropriate. Then link to that table to get the � in the report.

            Or if you don't have an intentional ? anywhere else in the item description, you can define a field with the strtran() to replace the ? with a �

            new_desc=strtran(description,"?",chr(128))

                    Here is a pic of the reportPIC2.JPG

                    As you can see i can just get the description of the inventory items but not the non inventory items.
                    I am using ItemInventoryAssemblyLine and ItemInventory but cannot add ItemNonInventory table to the equation. I have not been able to find another way to do the relation.

                    Got any ideas.

                      Replace the link to ItemInventory with a link to item

                      why can't you link to ItemNonInventory?

                          The tables listed are a start. If you don't see the table that you want, then click more tables - OK and manually add any table and manually design the linkage.

                            Re: Symbols

                            Maybe a moot point if this question is related to the report that you gave Al and then he can see exactly what you are using/doing...

                            But seems like if you had the ItemInventoryAssemblyLine as a parent to both ItemInventory and ItemNonInventory, then you could use IncomeAccountRefFullName from the parent and IncomeAccountRefFullName and SalesAndPurchaseIncomeAcctRefFl respectively as set links (or the List IDs more likely/preferably).

                            (This separate question should be in new thread just to keep it more available/pertinent when others search for an answer).

                            Edit---see my answer is already being covered...will keep quiet!! lol
