BR Forum

Good advice, Gabriel and Kevin:

I haven't implemented 4.18 features yet EITHER, but perhaps I'll go that route: license the client for 4.2, USE 4.18 feature set and then I'll be ready for both worlds. Thanks!

Hi all, My primary client is interested in upgrading to the "latest" version of BR. They are currently using 4.17 WITHOUT NWP. They want to use NWP so we can print to some of their braindead printers as well as to solve some other driver issues. They also want to "become current"...

Larry, You can set environment variables inside your programs with this syntax: 00010 LET SETENV("USERNUM",A$) or 00010 LET SETENV("USERNUM","123") You can only use strings. To retrieve that value, PRINT ENV$("USERNUM") -- Susan Larry wrote: I seem to recall t...

That is a really good idea! -- Susan Mikhail Zheleznov wrote: The += opertaor is nice, so you can say let total += itemprice instead of let total = total + price It would be even nicer if we had a &= operator for strings for appending _______________________________________________ BR_forum mail...

Hi all, Have any of you ever had your cut & paste stop working? I'm using Win XP Pro (local machine, not a network), and when I got back from Nashville, my cut & paste had stopped working - in ALL applications including MS Office 2003. I can highlight text and delete it, but pasting it doesn...

A new discussion forum will be unveiled soon, which WILL have both an online archive facility. You can have the Emails sent to your inbox, read them online, or BOTH. It's not quite time to open the doors yet, but that will be coming soon, so stay tuned. It should address the concerns of both John an...

Ah... that's sort of what I was thinking. I haven't used the debug versions before, so this is the first I've seen of it. Thanks. -- Susan George Tisdale wrote: It's a debug thing that Dan puts out there to try to spot memory corruption "things". It started I think in the 4.17 series. Geor...

Does anyone know anything about a file that's being created automatically (by BR I believe) called br-electric-fence-leaks.txt? I believe BR is creating it because I see Dan's name in the file. I'll attach it here. I'm testing some user-contributed code for the conference flash drives (running BR di...

Thanks John. I just tried it your way. I DEFINITELY like the labels in upper case. I'm still considering the mixed expressions. I appreciate the input. There are many features in BR that I just never took advantage of when they first came out. (If it ain't broke, don't fix it, I suppose) But now and...

Hi all, I've never used a CONFIG STYLE in my WBCONFIG.SYS file before to format my source code while editing. When I need indents, I just use spaces. I'm curious as to your favorite STYLE settings for readability of your source code. I tried this one, which I copied off the wiki, modifying all of th...

It's not QUITE that easy - even with the [|]s. Positioning something to a specific place doesn't exactly place the text there. Try it. It tends to print further to the right, which is where the original idea of invisible characters possibly advancing the cursor came from. You have to use trial and e...

George, I got your right alignment test program working. But can you right justify with proportional fonts when you need to specify EXACT positioning on the paper for the right edge? I have a few forms (as you probably do) where the vertical columns must be at a precise position. In many cases this ...

Hi Steve! You're all married now! I hope you and Heidi had a wonderful day on August 8th! They were setting off some awfully big fireworks in China in your honor that day. They made have called it the Olympic opening ceremonies, but we know better :) Aren't you using LogMeIn for remote support now? ...

I don't use a version control system at all. Well on second thought, I have a very prehistoric procedure that PRETENDS to be a version control system: I don't store my source in source format. It's all in .wb files. I have a backup folder for each programs directory that contains all of the prior ve...
