Subject Re: beginappend() Problem Fixed From Lee Grant <camilee@nospam.comcast.net> Date Sat, 1 Jul 2023 01:29:28 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Ken and Mervyn, Further checking the code and then I did a couple of experiments to find out something I hadn't realized before about the designer nuances. If I drop a database table on the designer form, it creates the "this.rowset = this.<tablename>.rowset" right in the code of the form and in addition it writes the complete filename path into the sql statement created by this process. It also doesn't create a database object, it just creates a sql query object named the same as the table and "select * <filepath>" If I drop a database object and then a sql object on the designer form and then change the properties of the objects to retrieve the same table, there is no code like "this.rowset = this.<tablename>.rowset" inserted in the code on saving. In addition, there is no filepath as that I assume is because the alias is being pointed to by the database object, so only the name of the table is named in the sql query object "select * from <tablename>.dbf" I'm sure I've seen this code variant, but I think I never really connected them before. :( Lee On 7/1/2023 12:59 AM, Lee Grant wrote: > Ken and Mervyn, > > I'm glad I asked and read your comments.
