Hi Ryan, When I click on the "check for updates" link in MyEdit, a window pops up that says "You've reached the Mills Enterprise automated Web Support area". Am I supposed to do something at this point? All I can do is click to close that window. If I download an entire clean ins...

John, I use buttonrows and I'm not aware of any way that you can customize them at all. Between the two computers you are using... is the TEXT on the buttons smaller or larger? (not the actual height of the buttons, but the TEXT) Is there a different setting for font size in Windows on the two machi...

I must be misunderstanding. I thought that when you use Lexi, you still store your BR programs WITH line numbers (as either .BR compiled programs or .BRS source files - your choice). And only when you're working on it in MyEdit do you strip out the line numbers by using the Lexi tools (and then you ...

Thanks for that clarification Joe. Then I can assume that after I "CONFIG filenames Mixed_Case" and create my uppercase-named file, I can "CONFIG filenames lower_case" to set it back. I'm certain that nowhere else in my BR programs do I change this setting, so I can be assured th...

Hi folks, Is there a way to get BR to honor the upper/lower case with which I'm naming a new file? I have to submit a file to a county agency and the filename has to be EXACTLY what they indicated, including the case of the filename. No matter what I do, Windows reports the created file as lowercase...

Thanks Steve. I don't have any questions at this point, other than a few minor issues with the data crawler which I will take up with Gabriel. But I was curious whether or not I was the only one using it. I'm still at the point of creating all of my FILE IO file layouts and then testing them with th...

If you are currently using FILE IO - either completely or partially, could you speak up here or Email me? I'm just beginning to implement it and I'd love to know if I'm the only one (besides Gabriel of course <s>). Thanks.

Thanks for posting back with your results Larry. I haven't tried the search yet, but I'm working on a project right now where it will probably be used often. So now I can go back in the conversations and follow your path to success! ("path to success"? How cheesy did THAT sound? <g>) -- Su...

Thanks for bringing up the subject of numeric field formats. I have never really known why some people pick one over another. I read through the documentation about them and although I can follow it, I still don't understand the APPLICATION of that information. What does it mean in the real world an...

Oh! That's good to know, David. I wasn't aware of that. Generally I always TRIM$() everything so that I get both sides trimmed , but I suppose that most of the time an RTRM$() is adequate and therefore, "V" fields would do the trick. Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep that in mind. (as lon...

Thanks George. Now that I know that "V" fields only trim for reading strings$, that opens up a whole new world. I am constantly "trim$-ing" everything after I read it. Now I can just go back and update my form statements and replace the "C" reads with "V" read...

Upon further reading, I THINK that I understand that "V" fields are still stored in the file WITH the trailing spaces and the spaces are trimmed when you READ the data in. Is that right? And if so, then specifying a key start/end position DOES include those trailing spaces. Secondly, if &q...

Hi all, I have a "member" data file where the name and address are currently stored all in upper case in "C" fields. The name field is C 25 and names are entered in "LastName, FirstName MI" format. I plan to separate these name components into individual fields AND make...

Hi Ryan, I'd be interested, depending upon when or how you decide to set it up. Are you thinking of a GotoMeeting type of thing online? If so, I'm definitely in for that. Traveling isn't all that likely for me right now. -- Susan rmills@mills-enterprise.ca ( rmills@mills-enterprise.ca ) wrote: Hi, T...
