Hi, There is nothing wrong with the way you try to include that file. What it looks like is that the include file you are trying to use cannot be found in your Propath. With WebSpeed this is a little less obvious and and can be a little trickier than with "normal" Progress, but it needs to be...

Well, if you can (from both a technical and business point of view) stick with SCO to save yourself some money and hassles. If you change your OS you will have to change your Progress licenses so they run on the new OS. This will most definately cost some $$ (depending on the number of users...

Yep, I'd go with pdfinclude as well. When I installed it on a windows box it almost immediately worked. Running on Unix took a little longer and some hacking in the code but now that the bugs are ironed out it works quite well.

OK, so call me silly.... can anyone tell me exactly *why* John Sadd should be treated in such a way and just *why* he gets this kind of ummm attention here?

Yes, you can change the format by using the format attribute of the widget. So in your case:DISPLAY p-desc WITH FRAME mainf. p-desc:FORMAT IN FRAME mainf = "x(":U + STRING(LENGTH(p-desc)) + ")":U.But you will also have to re-position the field (move it to the right a little). You can try to...

A calculated column means that you have to do the calculations. Progress will not do them for you (unfortunately). So, probably in the ROW-DISPLAY trigger of the browse you will want to work out the values) and put it in the appropriate column. Or, depending on the size of your temp-table you...

Simple, you either have to POST the form with the button in it OR add the value you are after to the Query string of the link that is clicked. Without the POST of QueryString values that reside on the client computer will not be available in WebSpeed (which runs on the server).

Labels being centered on buttons is "Windows Default" behaviour and I don't think you can make changes to that. All buttons in every Windows Application I have seen sofar have centered labels. Why would you want to change this?

Or to make it even more transparent what's happening on a transactional level (to anyone looking at the code) what is happening, you can do (note the bold stuff):DEF VAR c_gift AS CHAR NO-UNDO. DEF BUFFER b-cust for customer. FOR EACH customer NO-LOCK WHERE customer.gender =...

If you open your output stream as "paged" (so with PAGE-SIZE set to a value > 0) you can use the LINE-COUNTER function to determine what line you are on on the current page. From the on-line help: Then you can use the PAGE statement as well to start a new page after you have printed your footer.

One way of doing it would be to create one or more interface tables in your Progress database that do not have any dashes in table and/or field names. Then create write and delete triggers in the original table(s) that automatically populate the interface table when records are written or...

If you are using Windows, just have a look in the Program Group created by the Progress installation. There should be a nifty little thing there called the "Progress Explorer". It's a GUI tool to help you set up several different Progress services. For how to use the tool it is best to have a...

Try asking your employer if he/she also received a cd labeled "Electronic Documentation" (or something similar) with the Progress cds that are installed on the system. If so, install that cd on your computer (try installing ALL books) and have a look in there. It should contain ALL the manuals...

When you say IIS does that mean you are using WebSpeed via a web browser? Or are you doing/using something else (how is the program executed via the web)?

Or pop the fields you want to display / update in an include file and you can use them as often as you like in any frame. Of course such an action may not be 100% AppBuilder friendly, but it saves you using something like Notepad to edit code (by the way, Progress does have a Procedure Editor)...

If you want to see what programs are in the stack without having to insert a message in the code, you can write a little program that does the same thing and lists the stack by means of the PROGRAM-NAME(x) function (see online help for details). Doing that allows you to create a little user...

First of all a question: What version of MXP are you using/involved in and in what country? Yes, you are right, in the old versions of MXP there are hardly any extensions used. However, the compiled files end with .r as per normal. The .r extension is the only one Progress knows when...

Nasty nasty nasty.... I never encountered this problem myself (guess I was lucky), but I see where you are coming from. I tried several approaches, including introducing an error variable that was set to true and checked with a "when" in the assign, but the change of the variable is also not...

Sorry, no "real" dynamic stuff in version 8 (so an upgrade to version 9 might be a great idea if you want to go really dynamic)... But, apart from pre-processors you can also use an include file to do at least something with version 8: Create an include file (say we will call it foreach.i)...

Good stuff :biggrin:
