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.

    Problem with RowExpander issue - showing it when a field has a link in another grid`

    I have asked this before but did not get it to work.

    One table, called project has a field (numeric) called MainSR
    Another table, called help (on another server) has a field called (character) Assettag

    So I want to show the Row Expander when the field in the mainSR and the Assettag field are the same.

    I have created this:
    debug(1)
    ShowRowExpanderIcon = .t.
    '
    DIM cn as SQL::Connection
    dim flagResult as l
    cn.open("::Name::Help")
    flagResult = cn.open("::Name::Help")
    if flagResult = .f. then
    ui_msg_box("Error","Could not connect to database. Error reported was: " + crlf() + cn.CallResult.text)
    end
    end if

    dim sqltxt as c
    dim args as sql::arguments
    sqltxt=<<%txt%
    SELECT count(*) from help where assettag =args1
    %txt%

    args.set("args1",convert_type(e.rowData.data("MainSR"),"N"))
    e.conn.execute(sqltxt,args)
    dim count as n

    count = e.cn.resultset.data(1)

    if count = 0 then
    ShowRowExpanderIcon = .f.
    else
    ShowRowExpanderIcon = .t.
    end if

    cn.Close()

    It throws an error on :count = e.cn.resultset.data(1) and this is the error: Property not found e.cn.subelement not found

    Could someone point me in the right direction to make this work?

    Thanks

    I don't think you want your table and connection to have the same name. You are opening your connection twice. Also e.conn.execute(sqltxt,args) should be cn.execute(sqltxt,args), count = e.cn.resultset.data(1) should be count = cn.resultset.data(1)
    ui_msg_box() does not work on the web.

      Re: Problem with RowExpander issue - showing it when a field has a link in another gr

      I have changed the Xbasic function to:
      debug(1)
      ShowRowExpanderIcon = .t.
      '
      DIM cn as SQL::Connection
      dim flagResult as l
      cn.open("::Name::Help")


      dim sqltxt as c
      dim args as sql::arguments
      sqltxt=<<%txt%
      SELECT count(*) from helprequest where assettag =args1
      %txt%

      args.set("args1",convert_type(e.rowData.data("MainSR"),"N"))
      cn.execute(sqltxt,args)
      dim count as n

      count = cn.resultset.data(1)

      if count = 0 then
      ShowRowExpanderIcon = .f.
      else
      ShowRowExpanderIcon = .t.
      end if

      cn.Close()

      But I still get the error at this line count = cn.resultset.data(1), and the error is :Function sequence error, while getting latest result set.'cn.resultset subelement not found.

      I really wont this to work. I cannot figure this out.

        Is 'Help' the name of your connection string or as you say in your opening paragraph
        Another table, called help (on another server)
        ?

        If it is a table in a database you need to use a named connection string to the database then in the select statement refer to the table you want to get the data from as in
        Code:
        dim conn as SQL::Connection
        
        conn.open("::name::alphasports")
        where alphasports is a saved named connection string, not the name of an alternate database.

          Help is the name of the connection string to another sqlserver table

          If it is a table in a database you need to use a named connection string to the database then in the select statement refer to the table you want to get the data from as in
          Code:
          dim conn as SQL::Connection
          
          conn.open("::name::alphasports")
          where alphasports is a saved named connection string, not the name of an alternate database.
          Help is the name of the connection string and this is the connection string : {A5API='SQLServer',A5DBVersion=2008,Server='(local)',A5ANSINullPadWarn=Default,Trusted_connection=yes,Database='Help'}

          Then in the help database there is a table called helprequest

          If this does not work I will need to buy a help request from Alpha5. This needs to work I don't know why this does not work.

            Instead of using arguments did you try write to out the sql string?

            sqltxt= "SELECT count(*) from helprequest where assettag = " + convert_type(e.rowData.data("MainSR"),"N"))
            cn.execute(sqltxt)

            Then you can use debug to see the string make sure it is written correctly, try it in your database query builder to see if it is returning the correct result.

              Well I got it to work, thanks to all of your help. And I have learned a lot.

              dim cn as sql::Connection
              dim sqlstatement as c
              dim args as sql::Arguments
              dim rs as sql::resultset
              dim x as c
              dim cs as c


              sqlstatement = "SELECT count(*) from helprequest where assettag = :args"
              cn.open("::Name::Help")
              if cn.open(cs)
              args.add("args", e.rowData.data("MainSR"))
              cn.Execute(sqlstatement,args)
              if cn.execute(sqlstatement,args)
              rs = cn.ResultSet
              dim count as n
              count - 0
              count = cn.resultset.data(1)

              if count = 0 then
              ShowRowExpanderIcon = .f.
              else
              ShowRowExpanderIcon = .t.
              end if

              else
              x = "Execute failed: " + cn.callResult
              end if
              else
              'Connection failed. Display message from cn.CallResult
              x = "Connection failed: " + cn.CallResult
              end if
              if cn.IsOpen
              cn.Close()
              end if

              I do still have one question left, how can use the count(*) in my grid? Do I have to use it in the SQL statement like count(*) as <variable>, and than use that variable in the grid?

                  OK I understand that but I can not see that variable in available fields so where do I put that?

                    dim lnCount as I

                    Select count(*) as nCount or Kount
                    lnCount = cn.resultset.data(1)

                    You really should be careful using 'reserverd' words for variables like count. I am not sure exactly what all of the reserved words are but I try to avoid naming variables the same as any that can be used in code. There are many naming conventions some were discussed on this board. I use what I learned from VFP things like lcVariableName for local character, lnVariableName for local numeric, etc.This helps assure that you are not using reserved words.

                      Thank you for mentioning that, I keep doing it and then can't figure out why I have issues in my code.

                      But how do I use that variable in a grid.?

                      Thanks again.

                        If you want the count to be available as a field in the grid you will need to create the sql select statement in the query of the grid.

                          I use Kount....... Looks like I dont know how to spell in my code, but avoids the reserved word.
