    MS Tab strip v6

    I don't think you can do this. As far as I know, the only option available to you is to delete the tabs that should not be available (but I am happy to be proven wrong). Paul

    Database Connection Issue

    Easy; connect the database in a.p, then run the b.p (from a.p) and in b.p you can access the database you just connected - it is pretty well documented in the online help :)

    Moderation

    Hi Casper, It should not have to become your day job to moderate this forum, so the less time you guys spend on it the better it is. Don't forget we are all grown-ups (and dare I say professionals?) here that should know how to obey some simple rules and act like responsible adults. And if...

    Transaction Question

    You would use "undo, retry" or "undo, leave" depending on what is appropriate for your situation. So: IF <ROLLBACK-CONDITION-AS-SET-BY-YOU> THEN UNDO, LEAVE.

    Exporting To Excel.

    Yes you can use COM, but there is also the option to create your Excel output in an xml file and then have Excel open the file for you using a Windows API call - I find this works a lot faster than using COM. It does have the drawback that you get some additional output files on your system that...

    Clarifications required in a Trigger???

    The value does not get displayed because the character that was typed in is not applied to the field (no-apply).

    Clarifications required in a Trigger???

    Simply put, it returns you where you (read the Progress Client) came from when the event fired - it was probably sitting somewhere in a wait-for or something - without actually applying the event (in this case a character that was entered) to the object. There are many uses for return no-apply...

    call progress 4GL from vb.net

    In very short: ProxyGen is part of your Progress (OpenEdge) installation. Make sure you do have OpenEdge (version 10) and not v9 or earlier. Lookup the Proxy Generator shortcut in the OpenEdge program group. Start it and define your AppObjects that you require in .Net. You do this basically by...

    Browser Column view-as property

    Have you tried: <table-name>.<field-name>:LIST-ITEMS IN BROWSE <browse-name> = "<comma-separated list>" after you have set the view-as for the column? Paul

    storing index or primary key combination in a character variable

    I believe the code below does what you are after: /* Some variables we need */ DEFINE VARIABLE hBuffer AS HANDLE NO-UNDO. DEFINE VARIABLE cData AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO. DEFINE VARIABLE cKey AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO. /* Use these to make this test work... fill in "the blanks" */ &SCOPED-DEFINE...

    Date-Format

    Hi Hasan, The date-format in Progress just determines how Progress displays a date for internationalisation purposes within a Progress client session; it does not in any way change how the date is stored or represented "internally" within an application. So, as far as I know - and I will be...

    Variable Variables

    Hi Fuzzmaster, Have you tried to use the 'set-user-field' and 'get-user-field' functions? These are probably not exactly what you are after, but they may just do the job for you :) The usagle is pretty obvious: set-user-field("myField":U,"This is the value") and to retrieve the value again...

    Tomorrow's date

    Yes, that is easy to do; try this: MESSAGE STRING(TODAY + 1,"99/99/9999":U) VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX. HTH Paul

    Convert data Tool

    Hi, You can do this either from within Progress itself (but you'd have to have a developers or query licence to do this and know the "how to's" of using the Progress language) or from within the Data Administration function that comes with your Progress licence (it has some export functions...

    call progress 4GL from vb.net

    Or (if you can) use v10 and its proxygen, which generates .Net compliant objects that can connect directly to the OpenEdge AppServer. No more need for J++ or Java or other stuff you needed in v9... And it also works with the (Free) Express Editions of .Net :)

    Viewing Frame Contents

    Or, if this is possible with the layout that is supposed to be created, you can just display the information in a browse and that handles all this for you automatically.

    CSV columns getting converted to Date Format.

    Hi, I think the problem is not so much making the csv file understand that some value is a character, date or something else. A csv file is nothing more than an ascii file that contains comma separated values. If you would open the file in for instance Notepad you would see that the value you...

    preprocessor problem

    Hi, Preprocessors get parsed when you compile your code. This means that really they are only a way to replace or change bits and pieces of code at compile time. If you want to use "variable" table and/or field names you will have to start using dynamic queries. It may be worth looking those...
