catastrophic weirdness

I'm using br 4.32g with all my clients. I've recently integrated the fnsnap print grid routine and fileio and a little screenio. I don't know if any of those are related to the issue but here it is: I've had maybe half a dozen clients call me with what appears to be a stream of garbage characters ty...

Re: BR issue with Windows Defender or other Anti-virus products?

well - yes - you'll need a brconfig.sys located on that machine and the br*.dll probably. Your brconfig.sys could just contain an include \\whatever\whatever\old_wbconfig.sys. although - if you're setting this up, you might as well go ahead and go client-server. I'm not sure how you're not suffering...

Re: BR issue with Windows Defender or other Anti-virus products?

Is L: a mapped network drive?
Modern Windows security does not like you running executables from a mapped network drive and might be trying to impose stricter security on you. You might try running the BR*.exe from local machines and just share the data but not the executable.

Re: DIDX

maybe it's sla(zs(z),y), but I'm not sure if you can sort a two dimensional array like that. you may need to pull the one dimension you want to sort into a seperate array and sort it first.

ScreenIO prevent List from scrolling past top and bottom

To prevent a screenio list from scrolling past the top and the bottom what do I need to do?

Add the L attribute in the list's attribute field? and add a trap in the main loop that catches fkey 105 and 106 and then does what?

Re: searching brwiki in chrome

I think the Quick Links are here in the brforum, right? Not the brwiki or chrome.

But speaking of the brforum - if I type "brf" and tab in chrome it lets me search the br forum - auto completing with a list of recent topics I've looked - neat!

searching brwiki in chrome

:idea: I noticed that when I am using my chrome browser if I want to search the brwiki for something I can just click in the address bar and type "b" press tab and then type the term I want to search for and hit enter. It even auto-completes the terms for me with page titles from the brwik...

George,
I'd like to check out your function. Is your function in fnSnap? What's it called?

Re: ScreenIO - frames

I believe that 4.3 is when the support for this sort of syntax begins

Code: Select all

rin f '#101,1,1,C 10,[whatever];#102,2,2,C 12,[whatever]': x$,y$
as opposed to the older style which would only allow inputting to one frame i.e.

Code: Select all

rin f #101 '1,1,C 10,[whatever];2,2,C 12,[whatever]': x$,y$

Re: PDF Forms 2 Per Page

Thank you, Mikhail, I'll look into purchasing Adobe Acrobat and using this method.

PDF Forms 2 Per Page

I have just started printing PDF forms like W-2s and 1099s. Right now I get a quality PDF from the IRS and print it to a PDF with the new windows 10 Print to PDF thing and get just one page of it. Then I use that PDF single page as a background for my PDF creation and then print on top of it with po...

Re: Specifying Image sizes in PDFs

I just did this:

64280 imgWidth=imgWidth/720*28.346456692
64300 imgHeight=imgHeight/720*28.346456692

that converts them to mm. And BR NWP/PDF stuff doesn't seem to mind the 9 decimal places I've been throwing at it.
