    Resolved Static or Dynamic

    While implied by what Tom said, I think it is worth noting that dynamic code tends to be obscure while static code can be very clear in intent and purpose.

    Sharing variables across internal procedueres.

    Declaring the variable in the enclosing program will allow you to use it in both places, but is sloppy programming. Much better to explicitly pass in any values needed by the outside program and to explicitly return any values needed later.

    Confused on Record Bleeding

    My first question is, why would you ever write code like that? If, for example, you consistently used bcust throughout, I am sure the compiler would complain.

    Boolean value

    This really should be a new thread.

    Boolean value

    You seem to be confusing variables. Nowhere in your code do you set the value of tog_demo except with the initial clause so of course it is still false. And, why input since there is no UI statement in your code.

    Question Can OE DATABASE support 12,000 concurrent users

    It would be an interesting question to ask at Progress Communities as for the largest user count that anyone has seen.

    Answered Saving a structuref procedure take to much time

    If you are up for restructuring this code, one design idea you might consider is encapsulating temp-tables in their own class with access methods to operate on the temp-table. That isolates knowledge of the specific schema of the temp-table to that class and everything else merely knows about...

    Resolved sending outlook mail with graphics

    I meant your current effort and the actual HTML code so that we can see what you have constructed.

    Resolved sending outlook mail with graphics

    Perhaps if you attached an example of one of the e-mails someone knowledgeable about e-mails would be able to point at what was wrong.

    Question More ergonomic view

    I was very fond of working in X. Something about the whole experience which just blew Windows away ... especially with Windows back then. Even ChUI looked good. But, when PSC committed to Windows, not much choice.

    Question More ergonomic view

    Cringer ... it depends :) Back in Version 6, I did an implementation of Varnet on X-Windows which people thought was a GUI, just because the simple ChUI forms looked so much better on X-Windows. It amused a bunch of folks!

    Resolved sending outlook mail with graphics

    It seems to me that you have three distinct potential problems: 1. Composing a valid e-mail containing the desired image, regardless of how sent. 2. Interfacing with Outlook to make that e-mail appear to have been *sent* from the Outlook client. 3. Potentially dealing with any issues specific to...

    Resolved sending outlook mail with graphics

    Don't know about Outlook, but this sounds exactly like what happens for me with sending in plain text vs sending in HTML.

    limit on columns in a table

    In particular, I might note that it is a frequent pattern in adding new functionality to an existing app to simply tag on a couple of fields to an existing table to support that new functionality. What is missed in doing this is an analysis for normalization. As a result, one often ends up...

    Sharing functions/methods with class and non-classes

    But also the sort of refactoring which is likely to be amenable to automation. I'm not belittling the job, just pointing out that it is good practice to recognize when something is done wrong by current best practice and to consider what might be done to fix it properly instead of always doing...

    Sharing functions/methods with class and non-classes

    Alternatively, create a class with the desired functionality and revise the includes and references to use the new class. More work, but much cleaner in the end.

    Question Proper way to enable SQL?

    That was my point. If one is at that kind of limit, then there are bound to be many compelling reasons to switch to Enerprise.

    Question Proper way to enable SQL?

    BTW, if that is the case, it seems like a strong argument for getting off of Workgroup on general principles.

    And that limit is 60?
