I am using Progress OpenEdge 10.1 I wish to be able to use the ie web browser dll to enable to embed documents into my Progress OpenEdge app. Though I am having difficulty with the syntax. *I can open the document ok, thoug hI wish the target to be a frame in my application. I am unable to...

That took some clarification, I 'think' I understand what you require. Dropping this msn analogy - confused things. Put simply, is all that you require is a shortcut on the desktop or any where you wish it to be placed. This shortcut then launches your application?

In UR earlier statements. Is the printer attribute assigned a value before trying to set a further attribute (chWorksheet:PageSetup:Orientation ). Progress works sequentialy, as the flow enters win32 at this command. If the printer is not known, it will fall down. Good luck

Greetings, With the limited information you provided. I suggest looking a this keyword; RUN programname PERSISTENT Bye For Now (BFN)

Work with this syntax. It is a fully working example, make it fit your needs. Good look. DEFINE VARIABLE procname AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO. DEFINE VARIABLE OKpressed AS LOGICAL INITIAL TRUE. Main: REPEAT: SYSTEM-DIALOG GET-FILE procname SAVE-AS TITLE "Choose...

Greetings Dude, In a Windows GUI environment, look at using the SYSTEM-DIALOG-BOX ,. This will use the os(windows) native dialog box to select a source / destination location.

Why are you wanting to use a third party control ?? Just use the Progress supplied tab folder. What is wrong with this control ??

Or simply use the FREE and included Progress tool, ProSpy / ProSpy Plus

mfdeclre.i file? Greetings, The mfdeclre.i file? is simply an include file to include MFG/PRO system variables. It just allows the external procedure to be compatible with, and able to attach as an external program to MFG/PRO - You do not need to worry about it.

Greetings, I am sorry, I don`t get what you are trying to do or why. You are wanting to output data to a file. Yet you are concered with the display and formating?? The output is NOT displayed by Progress / OE, you are passing it onto the OS by outputing to a file. You are half way there...

Greetings, Now that we know we cant use a variable value. A work around would be to use a value that is not going to be reached. Leaving something in your pocket for the unknown. Therefore at compile time I have a constant value - I know it will not reach 50 for how it is used so at...

Lets think about what you are asking: At compile time, I want to create an array with the value of a variable I have just created and therefore don't know the value of until run time. Head scratching, how can I / Progress / OpenEdge do that?? At compile time I need to have constants.

Greetings dude, Re: Also, is there a way to specify the database connection details for AppBuilder so that it automatically connects when it is started? Yes this is simple. Since Progress / OpenEdge is parameter driven. Your shortcut to start the appbuilder is something like: Target...

This is neater programming: IF DATE(ws-beg_grace_date:SCREEN-VALUE) <> ? AND DATE({&tt-table-name}.rcvd-dt:SCREEN-VALUE) <> ? THEN DO WITH FRAME {&frame-name}: ASSIGN ws-rein_date:SENSITIVE = TRUE . END. /* frame */ APPLY "ENTRY" TO ws-rein_date. RETURN NO-APPLY. /*...

Why not have 2 different widgets on your page? Have an OCX on 1 part of the window / display area, then have another OCX on a different area. That way you are displaying your 2 different word docs.
