Re: Mark field as required

... like "ask Fred" instead of just leaving it blank. When a phone number is entered, the field turns white. Records that have missing or questionable data are pink or yellow. Then in a browse, these records are flagged (with a flag icon) and thus can be easily found and dealt with if ...

Re: FTP upload blocked by Firewall

yes, I also find this by googling, but I am using this which does the job:

netsh firewall add allowedprogram C:\folder1\folder2\someprogram.exe myprog ENABLE

It enters the program in Firewall and I can upload. For now, because it is questionable if it works on all Windows OS.. :(

Re: Question about XBROWSE

... count. I think cmkeycount() and cmkeyno() will still be faster than skipping through the records because it only has to visit the records that are questionable. Also dbskip() can take longer because it sets a lock every time it moves the record pointer. Here is info on rlOptLevel() from Comix's ...

Re: errsysw.prg

Harvey, I wouldn't suggest handling it that way. You end up with questionable data and you don't know which ones are questionable. I would expand the database fields and/or restrict the data entry field. If the users are entering valid long data so expanding ...

... User Interface Design," also listed on my website. I'm sure this would also be valuable to you. Some of the techniques I use with "imperfect" or questionable data is to color the fields yellow and perhaps also popup a tooltip explaining what is commonly placed in the field. Also critical fields ...

... Here is an example using controls with colored backgrounds as indicators. The pink field is missing critical data and the yellow field contains questionable data ( the email address is missing the @). These are a way of addressing my philosophy of not requiring even critical data to be entered ...

... user get a visual reference. I show the background color of the GET as pink if the field is required and empty, and yellow if the field contains questionable data. You may note that Microsoft has starting doing something simlar--the address field in IE is green when the site is safe. James

Rick, Another thing I use is background color. You could color the background of the GET yellow when the date is questionable. I have one like this that turns yellow when questionable and even puts up a tooltip with a message. The tooltip then vanishes as any tooltip does. This ...
