I've been working with UET fields all morning, creating new fields, impacting the schema, placing those fields on the appropriate Syteline screen; everything's going great. Then I realized that I linked one new class to the wrong Progress table, so I went back into the UET screen to change...

Mods Definitely! Thanks

Up until now I've been able to avoid modifying any of the Progress programming underlying our primary Syteline system, instead limiting my program changes to a custom database. However, the time has come that I must. I've copied all of the files that I wish to modify to the Mod \job...

DataServer I may have been wrong about the DataServer. We have it and I'm checking it out now. I'll let you know what I find out and my impressions of it. Ross

Compressed Link This board shrank my link listed above. Here's the complete link. http://www.merant.com/products/datadirect/_odbc/techresources/productdoc/otdocument.asp www.merant.com/products /datadirect/_odbc/ techresources/productdoc/ otdocument.asp Ross

Merant ODBC Resources Try this link http://www.merant.com/products/datadirect/_odbc/techresources/productdoc/otdocument.asp With regard to the DataServer, though I've never used it, it appears to be a more advanced (and costly) ODBC manager which in essence incorporates the ODBC drivers into...

I'm cross-posting this in hopes of a speedy answer. Sorry for violating basic forum protocol. This actually belongs in the UIB forum, but that doesn't seem to be a very popular one. I need to modify code (in Syteline) originally created using UIB. I don't have UIB (and don't want it)...

This actually belongs in the UIB forum, but that doesn't seem to be a very popular one. I need to modify code (in Syteline) originally created using UIB. I don't have UIB (and don't want it). Will I encounter problems/failures if I modify a .w file when it comes time to compile it...

ODBC Connection to SQL If you'll set your options for this forum to allow reviewing older threads you find a wealth of information specifically relating to connecting both SQL and Access to Progress using the Merant ODBC 3.6X drivers. Over the past 3 months there has been alot of discussion...

SQL92 Nalin: You're now in an area where I can't help. We don't use the SQL92 drivers because we never write to Progress from SQL; we only pull from Progress into SQL. Plus, it appears that your hardware configuration is significantly different from ours. Best of luck. Ross

Physical Inventory First of all, I'm surprised that noone has responded to your posting sooner. I just back from vacation or I would have responded sooner myself. In general terms, I'm not sure what you're looking for. There are so many aspects to taking a physical inventory that must be...

Thanks Thanks, James. I had hoped to be able to use the UET fields to setup a timestamp field for several tables, but since they can't accept a function as a default setting, it looks as though I'm going to have to actually add the fields to Syteline (Progress) proper. Thanks for your...

I've been trying to avoid creating a mod (modification) to Syteline for 2 years, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to now. I need a timestamp field for several tables. Can someone remind me again; ignoring table schema for now, to create a mod all you have to do is copy the affected .r, .p...

Can you use an UET field as a linked subform or subcategory linked (synchronized) by a key field? In other words, can I use an UET field in a drop down combo box listing only those email addresses pertaining to the customer shown on the screen? Can I use the Validation expression in the...

Forgive me in advance if this is a frequently asked question, but . . . I want to create a field that stores the current time (time stamp) that a particular record is created or changed. What is the correct datatype (int?) and what is the code to set the value to the current time...

Zilvinas: Isn't the Merant ODBC driver SQL92 primarily for connecting from Progress to SQL: We use, have used, and I'm using on my W2K workstation, Merant ODBC 3.60 32-Bit Driver, and, assuming all of the other setup steps have been taken care of, it works great. Ross

I was recently told that Progress security is at the field level (implying that security must be setup all the way down to the field level). Is that true? I had assumed that Progress' security was like most others with various security levels (i.e. access, database, table, fields, etc.)...

DSN Settings Double check these settings: General Tab: Data Source Name = any name you want (but be consistent at each station) Description (optional) Database Name = Progress database name (no extensions) UserID = either leave blank (if you're not using Progress security, or put in a...

I've just setup a dozen or so new UET fields (this is my first time). Having had no classes on the topic, I winged it, but very quickly figured out the process. Here's the problem. After setting up one field and testing it, I had not problems or error messages. Later I tried to delete...
