Using 9.1d... With "insert into table(fields) values (vals) " I receive an error that a record already exists because of a certain index. Is there a way to trap that error?

Ok... That was easy. It wasn't because I didn't look though. The help links for substring, overlay, entry, and index never refer to replace in the "SEE ALSO" section and I wasn't smart enough to search for "replace".:awink: Thanks!

I need to convert a path and filename on windows platform such as "c:\junk\test.txt" to "c:\\junk\\test.txt". (This is because I am passing it to gnuplot which requires it that way) Anyway... I cannot find a way to search and replace. Here is what I tried and Progress doesn't like it...

Great idea! Thanks!

That's kind of ugly but it works and I appreciate it. Yes the vb inputbox does the same thing, though it looks much nicer kind of like "view-as alert-box" does. I know I could do it with a window but I was hoping for a "one liner" like in vb! :)

Using 9.1d... Is there a progress equivalent of the visual basic inputbox function?

Well I have to... PUT UNFORMATED 'Hello World' chr({&ID_EOT}). ...and I don't like it but I can live with it.

How do I create ID_EOT as hex character 04? So that I can do... output to c:\junk\test.txt. PUT UNFORMATED 'Hello World' {&ID_EOT}. output close. &GLOBAL-DEFINE ID_EOT chr(04) doesn't work. Any tips?

Much to my dismay there doesn't seem to be an easy way to draw a line (need slanted) with something like line(x1,y1,x2,y2) with Progress. Does anyone have any pointers to a simple activex control that allow me to draw lines, set pixels, and save the resulting image?

That works great! That you very much!

I have an activex control from interlink (epadink device) that has a method "openconnection. I inserted the control and named it pad1. If I do something like "message pad1.name view-as alert-box" in a button it responds with "pad1" so that seems ok. Problem is when I go to call...
