The only way to do this is by using a dynamic temp-table. But, once a dynamic temp-table has been prepared you cannot change it anymore (and you must prepare the temp-table before you can use it). A static temp-table (one that you "set up" by using a DEFINE TEMP-TABLE statement) can not be...

You don't have any backups you can restore? That would be so much easier :cool: Anyway, I am not sure if it works, but have a look at http://pdecode.webpark.sk/decom.html It's not a tool you can download and yes, you will have to pay for the service. Good luck on the road to recovery...

Hi, Have you tried to just export it into a csv with Excel and then read it into a temp-table with IMPORT. After that you can do with it what you want/need..... Or do you require a process that can do all this "automagically" for you on a regular basis? If the latter, then on what platform...

Have you tried APPLY "ENTRY" TO [field name] IN BROWSE [browse-name]. after you have created the new row in the browse?

Looks to me that the aderb folder is not in the ProPath of your client session that is executed through prophp, so that would be the place to check. I believe that prophp uses a character Progress client? If that is the case you may also want to check whether the Report Builder functionality is...

Yes, I have been young and foolish once and tried to write and set coding standards, and pretty quickly gave up on the implementation (you may actually have to become a very unpopular code nazi to make coding standards work)... Oh and don't forget that once you have written your little...

I use both version 9 and version 10, so one minute I am coding Progress 4GL and the next OpenEdge ABL, how confusing is that?? :dizzy:

OK, so if I understand right, you want the popup menu to show when the user double-clicks the browse? If so, keep reading, if not, then just go get a beer or something :toast: First thing to do is to create your browse and define the popup menu on it (you're probably using the AppBuilder, so...

Indeed somewhat off-topic, but hey :) I believe the main advantage would be that you can create a much richer UI than with what native Progress has to offer. You should be able (try to) "keep pace" with market trends in the area of UI design and functionality. The way I understand it there...

Yes, it can definitely be done with COM objects, which allow you to "directly" (well, more or less) access the database from the 4GL by executing SQL statements through COM. If you want I can see if I can find some code samples somewhere that do this (I have used it to build an interface with...

Hi Srini, You are in India and using MXP 8.3? Interesting, since the 8.3 version was in the days I worked with it a very much a European version of the application (not sure if Foresight ever adopted the European changes that were made by Axias, or created their own version 8.3, but I seem to...

Hi Guys, If you are using OpenEdge (Progress v10) you can consume a web service from within the 4GL/ABL itself (without the need for external tools or additional software). OE10 also allows you to create a web service within Progress, but that is somewhat more tricky as you will need some...

Hi, For starters, maybe you can tell us what version of MXP you are using, that might be helpful in finding what you need. Are you interested in info about a specific module maybe? Also, where are you? Meaning, what country are you in? I am not sure if I have any docos for MXP; it's been a...

And just how RUDE are you? :rolleyes:

Another option you have, which I find is faster than using ActiveX and as an extra big bonus will also work on UNIX, is to create your Excel file in XML format (but with the normal Excel file extension). The newer (from Office 2002 onward I believe ??) will read the xml and load it into without...

Can you post some more detailed snapshots of the code with the SpeedScript in it?

Hi Longhair, I have only ever experienced this when there indeed was something wrong in my code. From what I remember this happend when: - I had opened my input using a stream and forgotten to use the stream with the import statement - Closed the input source and then did a subsequent import...

Hi, I have not done it myself (yet), but am also looking into what is involved. You can find information on psdn (www.psdn.com) on web services. One thing I did pick up at the recent Progress Conference here in Australia is that it is (unfortunately) not a straight forward thing to do...

Hi Matt, A sample of your code would be helpful. Also, where does this code run? Is it truely a Progress procedure? In that case, why not just transform the SQL to native 4GL/ABL? Also you will have to take into account that embedded SQL will no longer be supported in future Progress versions...

Hi, Sounds like you require no SpeedScript for this really; more of a job for some JavaScript/DHTML or AJAX. I would not have any examples of how to best do this handy. Maybe someone else can help you out?
