As I have mentioned at a few BRG conferences, I have developed a methodology for printing forms using essentially three programs. One allows data entry and formulas as well as other information needed for printing the form, another handles using this information to print the form, and the third hand...

In my experience the data on the OPEN line between the colon ":" and the bar "|" do nothing. Perhaps someone else has found that these appear somewhere or change the disply, but on my Vista machine running BR4.20g they seem to have no effect what so ever. In addition, I find that...

Correction: The "+" was supposed to be "="

I fat fingered it.

Your leading parameters for the GRID make it all protectd so keystrokes are limited and don't interact with the GRID.

If you place a CURFLD(1) at the beginning of the INP line it will force focus to the GRID.

Not sure what you are trying to accomplish.

OK, I figured it out, thanks for the clue Matt. You have to create a folder somewhere - I made it in DOCUMENTS and put the shortcuts in there. You then have to create a NEW TOOL BAR (right click NEW TOOLBAR) and point it to the newly created folder. You can then right click the new toolbar and get r...

I have always started BR by creating a shorcut on the desktop. In XP and Vista I can then drag the shortcut to the QuickStart bar, but in Windows 7 it will not allow this to happen.

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks

Thank you Luis, I had missed that in the documentation. I'll use -@ and -S to accomplish this (I had found that I could CONFIG the default and did do that to switch temporarily to SERVER, but -S is much better option.) Gordon: Thanks for that suggestion, It does provide the full file name without tr...

Is there a way to get a DIR command to work on the Server in Client Server? I can not use the standard DIR within BR because it trims long files names and the file date is not always in the same format, but I have found the system DIR command to work perfectly. What I am trying to do is write a text...

I have CS working now on my SMB 2003 Server on the external IP address. I had to go into server management on the Server and use the wizard to Enable Windows Firewall, that let me access the settings for the firewall that was already enabled. Becasi SMB 2003 does so many things you can not go to the...

I have client server working now on a Windows Vista machine using LOCALHOST as the IP address for connection. That works well so far. I then accessed the server machine from another workstation on my home network using the HOST=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX in the BR_PARMS.txt file. This also is working fine, exc...

Sometimes the WIN:/SELECT option is not available when selecting a printer, like in Linux or perhaps MAC environments, or in certain cases in Client Server. The PRINTER_LIST function can, however, get a printer name to use., I put together a library function that I think solves this problem and woul...

You need to install the font on each workstation.

Thank you Gordon.

Is there a way to tell, once BR is running in 4.3+, whether the user is logged on using client server or combined (just executing the SERVER.exe)? The reason I am looking for this clue is I want to be able to adjust certain functions and shell calls to do one thing if the client server is active and...
