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.

    refresh form when in embedded browse

    Hi there,

    I have a form in which i display a calculated field vmode = parentform.mode_get().

    All of my forms which display vmode, alter as soon as i start changing a field on the form provided it is not a field within an embedded browse. When I change a field which is within an embedded browse i find i need to generate code to display vmode. The only way i am able to do this is to use OnEditField. When I have Eg. x6 fields which can be edited, I need to genrate this code x6 times. As you can see from the attached Refresh does not work and so I use F5.

    Is this the correct strategy to employ here, or is there more elegant (how about that) way ?

    Looking forward


    I find I am having problems using F5. Remember now that F5 plays havoc wit embedded browsing- any suggestions ?

    Dave, I created a Calculated Field - vform = parentform.mode_get() and in a simple set with one parent and child it works as intended with the two types of browse I tried.
    I have tested it using the default browse you get when you display a set, and also with a browse created separately.
    How many levels deep is the browse data?

    Sorry Dave, just realised I did this in V10, but it seems to work in V9 as well.

            Hi John,

            Sorry, can you give me an example as to where I need to use this code - Do I insert it in the OnEditField ?

            Thinking about it, it seems to me that I need to insert code away from the embedded browse ?

            Looking forward

              Dave, just noticed that if I go to change a record in an embedded browse, the calculated field chnages shows "Change", but if I cancel, it still shows "change".
              Refresh Display puts it back to "View" as it should.
              Any chance of posting an example of the problem?

                  Just send the tables - empty except for some test data Dave.

                    Sorry, just want to show how I did it.

                    I use a colored frame. The fill color set to dynamic at the properties window. I test it and it works with embedded browse. It should work with a normal text object too.
