Maurice, Are you trying to connect to a database on another server using TCP/IP ports? If so does the computer that you are getting the error on have TCP/IP installed for the adapter you are using? Does the port number that you are using have a service name in the SERVICES file on your PC...

I must admit that I like the new style that you have implemented on ProgressTalk. The graphics are a lot more eye pleasing and there is a lot more information available to users who are browsing (like what I have the authority to do to posts etc). I also like the idea of just viewing new posts...

Hi All, After creating some windows in the UIB I have made a decision that I would like to remove the three control buttons on the right of the title bar (the minimise, close and maximise/restore buttons). I have taken a look at the window widget but can't seem to find any options to allow me...

Maurice, I personally would store the information within a table in the database. This option would offer better security so that only authorised users could gain access to it, and it would give me the ability to create reports from it to analyze the data that is gathered. I suppose the other...

Hi there, Would it be possible to be told how many new topics have been added or replied to when I return instead of just having a red folder? THX, James.

Hi there Maurice, Sounds like you want to use database triggers. You will be able to assign triggers to events such like ASSIGN, CREATE, DELETE, FIND and WRITE of database records. I have not used these in any of my applications but I am sure that another reader will be able to help you, also...

Martin, Do you want the program to pass the username and password to the ftp session or can they be stored in a text file somewhere? James.

Hi there Terri, I use the following code. It will return the working directory that is specified on the icon that you double-click (or the location of the executable file that you double-click on). /* Assign the current directory as the file you want to query */ FILE-INFO:FILE-NAME = "."...

All, I have managed to figure out the answer to my first and second question. I can now send an e-mail from Progress and specify the profile that I want to use automatically. As ever, if anyone wants a copy of this source please e-mail me.

OK Folks, I have managed to send mail from Progress to Exchange, but I get prompted to supply a profile name when the routine runs. Can anyone supply any information on getting round this little problem? Code for the e-mail routine is available on request. TIA, James.

Hi All, I have noticed that there are a lot of posts from people trying to e-mail from Progress through Outlook, but I need to ask the same question but sending through Exchange! I have tried to adapt code that I have found on in this forum but to no avail. Can anyone shed any light on this...

Rich, This might work if I used the UIB to create all of the code that I have. I am developing standard sequential code to be run in a GUI environment. The situation is that I have a menu. When a user selects option one (which runs prog1.p) I want to RUN VALUE("prog1.p") in a new window...

Hi All, I am having a little problem. I have got a window in GUI that has a button on it that, when I press the button, runs another program. What I want it to do is run the new program in a seperate and new window that closes when I close the new program. But at the moment it doesn't do...

I presume you are using a Unix system. The best thing I would do in this case would be to run all of the reports to a directory on one of your file systems (perhaps /tmp?) and once they are all done, run a script that e-mails all of the reports to the correct recipients. The best command to...

Have you thought about e-mailing the output you get from Progress to your intended recipients? This is quite easily achieved in both Unix and GUI environments. James.

Rich, I haven't created an editor widget. I just declare a 256 char variable and view it as an editor. Perhaps I might look into creating the necessary widgets to maximise user input. Thanks, James.

Rich, That solution works great. Thanks. I know an editor would look better but the editor restricts a user to only 256 characters (or is there something else I don't know?) and I need a lot more space for the user to put their comments. Thanks. James.

Good morning folks, I want to create a comments screen where a user can type a long message. I thought of using an editor box but the variable I assign to the editor can only have a maximum capacity of 256 characters. So I thought of using a variable with a format of, say, 50 characters and...

Hi there Terri, Perhaps the date field can be a variable representing the value of the date within the record. You can then compare the value of the date in the record against the variable and if they are the same then you can conclude that the user didn't change it? HTH James.

Hi there Rich, Sorry but your solution didn't seem to work for me. I am programming in version 8.3 GUI in the UIB. Basically, the selection list is going to hold a list of program descriptions with the hidden data being the program names. When a user double-clicks on a program description...
