    Why moving from OE 10.1b to 10.2b ?

    Improvements since 10.1B: - Alternate Buffer pool -B2 - Improved performance (latch handling improved a lot in 10.1C and index rebuild, for instance) - Online changing of parameters - Structured error handling (catch, finally) --> you gotta love finally :-) - Online changing of appserver...

    Appending two tables to a Binding Source

    ok I am on unknown grounds now. I suspect you are talking about the new GUI for .NET and then specifically to the probindingsource. If thats the case then it should be possible to set a query, a dataset and a buffer handle as the datasource for the probinding source. So f I understand your...

    how to truncate previous area after table/index move

    Just a side note, but if you truncate an area, all data in that area is removed, so you cant use it to free up used space after a table/index move and leave other data there. If you have unused (data) extents, you can always remove them with: "prostrct remove db-name extent-token storage-area"...

    PFD help

    I think it is more easy to use a third party tool for the merge. (for instance http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk). You can ofcourse use progress to execute the merge. Regards, Casper.

    4GL users restriction level in PROGRESS RDBMS

    I think you need to let go of the SQL view of a Progress database (GRANT permissions per user, per table). The permissions on tables of an application can be handled like this but, like tamhas said, it is in most cases better to deal with authorisation within the application. IMO authorisation...

    Can we Embedded PDF/ Excel/ Word Documents in Progress?

    mjpowellesq: There is NO difference in ABL and 4GL, it was a rebranding of the name, still the same language. You seem very persistent in thinking (wrongly) otherwise. And there is every reason to upgrade, but that argument was settled because the op told us they where in the process of doing so.

    Read .msg file into microsoft outlook

    yes shellexecuteA just uses the application registered in windows to open files of that extension to open it. I didnt test it, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work with x64 versions too. It works in windows 7. Regards, Casper.

    4GL users restriction level in PROGRESS RDBMS

    Regarding auditing: You can read up on it here: http://documentation.progress.com/output/OpenEdge102b/pdfs/gscsv/gscsv.pdf Benefits seems obvious to me (sox-compliant). I am not aware of any issues, maybe reporting is an issue, but there are ways to solve this. Regards, Casper.

    Can we Embedded PDF/ Excel/ Word Documents in Progress?

    Ehm, I did reply to this post. So maybe thats an option? Otherwise, maybe tell us what you mean with embed. And upgrading is not something you need to think about. It is something you HAVE to do. Just compile against 10.2B and see if all still works. You will find out that you wont run into...

    Copy file from web server using web address

    Assuming you dont have progress on the webserver, you can't. Even if you have progress installed on your webserver, you might want to ask yourself why you programatically want to use progress for configuration purposes. But for the purpose of the question. If you have progress on that machine...

    ehm I might be missing something but did you try: mpro <path-to-database>/<databasename> -p dict.p -rx This should start the data adminsistration. Regards, Casper.

    How to load Data Files(*.df) to new database with update tables

    First of all a df file is normally a database definition file, which is not the same as data. But since you explicitly say data in the next part I have the idea that you try to do it with a .d (data file). In order to only append, you can write an import procedure. If you want the tables to...

    "Width" column - Data Dictionary

    Ok I understand, you use the checkwidth parameter to enforce the display format to be an 'absolute' format for the application. It is essential then that all client sessions use the parameter. Including progress editors and batch procedures. And I suspect special action also needs to be taken...
