Just a follow-up, Now I'm going through all my forms and changing the necessary code to assign the rowset to the form where it applies, and changing the code in the method/functions to correct this oversight of mine with this little 'bug'. From now on, I'll be able to use my custom buttons properly..pre-coded and dropped on functionality on a form. :) <sigh> Two steps back...one step forward. :) I've also been remiss in other areas of dBASE, so I'm re-educating myself on some localSQL stuff and database specific stuff, to try and get my head better around the data manipulation stuff as well as things that I was doing the hard way, because I hadn't found the easier way. Like adding images/binaries to my database. I was doing it by entering the information and the images via the designer, rather than on my form, because I hadn't been familiar with the fields objects (although I've probably heard it mentioned) until I started searching for a solution and ran across an old dBulletin article by Jean-Pierre Martel about getting binary data into dBASE tables via .replaceFromFile(<filename>) method of the field objects. Then I found it again in Ken's book. <sigh> So many things, so little time, so many places to look. :( So in a good way, this little foray has spurred me back to my several years old application that I put to the side while doing the Notepad++ UDL stuff, so I'm looking at it again and tightening up and implementing the right and easy stuff instead of the headbanging way. :) I realize I kind of took it off the original topic, but once this stuff got found, it was kind of hard to stop...so I'll let this topic die off now, but I wanted to thank everyone that helped me solve this little issue that was making me scratch my head why I had to do everything different, just because I was doing something the dBASE programmers hadn't thought of something that someone might do differently. :) Whether there was a reason they did it that way, is moot. I'm just glad to have found out what was happening differently than everyone else's stuff. <sigh> Lee | |
