There is a serious issue when making fields required. If the user doesn't have that information, they will likely just put anything in the field so they can save the record.

An alternative is to allow the user to save the record even if some of the "required" data is unknown. You could then flag ...

I think he was referring to being. able to get Windows 11 style shadows when running Windows 10.

Tim,

Can you tell us which characters aren't visible? Better yet would be a few records that contain the problem characters.

Tim,

Then I used DBU to filter out only valid records, and tried to export them. I used the filter .NOT. EMPTY( fieldname ). However they must have something embedded in there because the filter doesn't work.

I would write a routine to replace all the fake blank fields with all real blanks. Of ...

Saved me a few keystrokes
I normally would type as (oDbf:cAlias)->(dbSeek(cSeek, nil, .t.))

If you use database objects then you can just do:

oCustomer:goBottom()

Alan Cooper in his book "About Face 2.0, The Essentials of Human Interaction Design" he makes the point that there shouldn't be any required fields.

When you think about it, this makes a lot of sense. Before computers, on a paper form, if there was any missing data, it was just left blank by the ...

Natter,

It sounds like a memory leak. Check to make sure you have ended all vars at the end of routines.

Parece que ambos están usando objetos de la base de datos como si no fueran objetos. Estás haciendo mucho trabajo.

Cuando crea un objeto de base de datos, se abre automáticamente en una nueva área. Entonces puedes hacer:

oCliente1:= TDatabase:Nuevo( ,"cliente")
oCliente2:= TDatabase:Nuevo ...

Hua,

I don't know if this will help, but I found it in my notes.

Use the following to set the application's current printer. It will remain the current printer until changed.

//--- Set application's current printer. Returns .T. if successful.
// Author: James Bott
function setPrinter( cPrinter ...

I am not sure what you mean by "owner."
Did you mean local, private, or public?

Jimmy,

I'm not sure I understand what you want to do but here is an example of adding a new sale amount to a oCustomer object using a function. Note that a customer object exists until you end it.

Function addSale( oCustomer, nNewSale )
oCustomer:TotalSales := oCustomer:TotalSales: + nNewSale ...

Enrico,

Why are you using a PRIVATE? I haven't used PRIVATEs for years.

You can do the same thing you wanted this way:

FUNCTION MAIN()

LOCALE cName:=""

cName:= CREATEVAR( cName, "Hello" )

? cName // it exists here

RETURN NIL

STATIC FUNCTION CREATEVAR( cName, xValue )

cName:= xValue ...

Jilo1234,

Is there an option to do it?

I don't think so as this is standard windows app behavior.

Actually, I looked at several windows apps and they all have two color bars (single pixel high) at the bottom of the button bar--kind of a gradient. You will have to look hard to see this. I use a ...

Tim,

Check out the "USPS Barcode FAQ & Tutorial" here:
barcodefaq.com/usps-postal/

I have never used postal barcodes, so I can't offer any help with this.

I hope you have already solved your problem.

Tim,

It is possible to do INDEX ON ... FOR NOT DELETED

And you can create another index without that clause.

Then you can just switch indexes to get all records or only records not deleted.

I haven't tested this.
