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.

    Display Issue in a set on a network

    I have an application with a set, the parent is has a control number field (auto incremented) related to the child table via the control number. When two users are entering records in the child table at the same time the records from one show on the others table . This is only a display issue because if I refresh the table the records not related drop from view. I'm using version 12.6.1.2 build 6012

    Any ideas why this is happening? Does the Shortcut parameter for the Start in have anything to do with it? Or perhaps the users are using the same temp files?


    Any help would be welcome

    Thanks
    Pat

    The only 100% and most simple solution to this kind of issues is having users enter data into xdialog and then to tables and not use forms.

        The short answer is that is the way it was designed to work for autoincrement.

        ie - Look at the largest value on file and then increment it by 1 for predisplay.

        Then at save time, re-evaluate to see if something changed in the interim and adjust accordingly to avoid duplication issues. (ie pick a higher number)

        Another option has its draw back in that a partial entry maybe abandoned and a missing number could occur.

        The third option is to write a custom incremental system that records the abandoned numbers and uses them prior to adding to the maximum value. Of course its drawback is sequential numbers might not chronological.

        So pick one of these options or design another.

          Thanks for the reply. The issue isn't the duplication of the control number as I save the parent record before any child records are entered. The child records that show under the wrong control number have the correct control number on them. refreshing the browse corrects the problem

            I didn't say the control number would duplicate, it's the pre-save display that can get confusing.

            I'd suggest posting an example app or show a video of what you are seeing to help us diagnose it and suggest a solution.
