I am "managing" an in-house developed ERP system, used by 50 people. It started in version 8 and went live in version 9.1e back in the early 2000's. I have had good support from my programmer but he has retired, left California and so I have been keeping it running with chewing gum and scotch...

I am not smart enough to understand all of this. I will, however, see if i can understand by using. As soon as I size all of my windows. At this point, it seems that Progress changed how to render Windows elements in the gui so it is a long job ahead unless there is something else, like a...

It is interesting. I deleted the image from the frame, then added it back and it scales properly now. I resized the image several times before this to no avail. Thank you for your help in this. Obviously, I have much to learn.

the code did not do the trick. i am working the attachment next. Thank you!

I couldn't find a solution, I believe this should be an old topic... Windows 2025 64-bit OpenEdge v12.8.7 I am updating the application code from v9 to v12. v9 login window vs v12 login window is shown below. I did some resizing but regardless of size, the internal frame doesn't fit into the...

That's a good assumption. wrkfiles are created to temporarily hold data for running reports. The system was designed for v9, at which time Actuate could be bundled with Progress. Actuate was SQL and, at the time, was too slow so we used preprocessors in 4GL to create the data and then Actuate...

Thank you so much for your explanations. I have migrated a 9.1e database to 12.8 utilizing dump and reload of data, definitions, indexes and sequences. This has been running on a virtual machine for testing. All of the data is still located in the “Schema Area”. The block size is 8192. The...

I know this is an elementary task for most of you. I am migrating to a 12.8 on a new server. I currently have Level I storage. Thank you in advance for your help! Is there a comprehensive guide, I couldn't find anything comprehensive on Progress, I have watched many videos - so I can...

Yes. Implementing Type 2 storage. Thanks for the comment!

Actually, that is correct. As it turns out, I neglected to start the temp-db - I was looking at everything else that the most obvious did not occur to me. I do wish it would simply provide an error message, "Did you forget to start and attach to the temp-db, duh?" and I would have saved...

Update - there was a smart viewer hiding where i didn't see it. Issue is solved. I need to jump start my brain some days.

v12 I have a smart browser sitting in a frame in a window. According to the verbiage, the code was auto created in UIB v8r12. This browser has a menu that does several things and calls other windows or dialogs. I can delete the .r and recompile and it works fine. If I open the file and save...

Did you ever get it installed? If not, let me know, I have installed 9.1e on a Windows 11 machine plenty of times. A couple of tricks. Yes, not supported, yes, very old edition, but if you are needing it installed - it is possible. there is a process you have to kill to get the installation...

It takes 7 minutes on my 2005 IBM x346 and with compression added. I have not set the script to run on the VM yet and not ordered the hardware yet so i don't know how that will change when my update is live (now 9.1e).

My case: Workgroup Database - nominally 30 users. Version 12.8 OS Windows Server 2019 Std. The backup of my database is 2.5GB Configuring my system as Virtual, once all is complete, I would migrate to another server - when I go live. I can keep this on a VM but am more comfortable with a new...
