Thank you. How can I reproduce the error, exactly?

Enrico, here if I try to open the email dialog shows.
Best regards,
Otto

Can you tell me the EmagDBU version number you are using, please?

Enrico, it is version 2.38.

Hello friends,

When starting a large project like this DBF Editor, it is initially difficult to understand the program and the logic.

This is where Harbourino helps. I first convert the program into Harbourino style.
As a result, I have friendly module names and small, clear modules in their own files.

Best regards,
Otto

Hello friends,

I have noticed that the function ExpBuilder(cExp, cTitle, cType) in frankDB.prg is the same as the one provided by Fivewin in the following:


// Expression Builder Dialog
// FiveWin - Dialog tools

#include "FiveWin.ch"
#include "ExpBuild.ch"

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------//

function cGetExpression(cExpression, cTitle)
I have substituted the function in frankDB.prg with the Fivewin version.

For my purposes, I will proceed with the Fivewin one.

Best regards,
Otto

This explains all, it is a very old version. Please download the current one (2.75):

Dear Enrico,

many thanks!

It is in Italian. How to use it in engligh ?

It is not possible, sorry.

Hello friends,

I have reconsidered and thought about this again. I see that FIVEWIN's cGetExpression uses resources.

This means you need a tool to manage the resources. I think it is more future-proof to avoid anything specific.

I will stick with Franklin's original version.

Dear Enrico,

thank you.

Now DBFs with auto-increment fields are working fine.

Otto

Great. Any more problems or missing functions?

Dear Enrico,

Thanks again.
Your editor does exactly what I need in 97% of all cases.
The remaining 3% of tasks are usually very specific, requiring many settings options.

I don't think it would be economically justifiable to replicate all these functions.
Sometimes I just write a small program.


Best regards,
Otto

Ok, thank you.

I use everyday emagdbu. It's very powerful, useful and well done and in my opinion an english version would be appreciate worldwide.
Have a nice day
