I cannot get the whereclause = guigetsimplefilter( …) to work. I can’t figure out where the problem actually lies because source for sml is not available.

There error is object not found. I do not have access right now to my actual code. I will follow up

Maybe the best way to track it down would be to put some code using guigetsimplefilter() into the
quickreportsample project.

So I added the following to debug

string test
test = qr.whereclause
test = guigetsimplefilter(filter = test)

Error (21): Object not found
Error: a statement of function “guigetsimplefilter” was executed unsuccessfully
There is no source code available for the statement

So we’re clear I added the repguilib.sml to the project, so I can see that the function is available.

[JD Kromkowski]

I tried to see how it work in the Business example, where it is used with labels.

unfortuantely
labeldef =@ openlabeldef(

ends up being nul so that function apparently isn’t even working.

even when I opened up one of the customer labels slx (after fixing bad reference to datasource as X:\, it is not clear to me that the filter button on the labels works at all.

So, maybe you could release the source for the gui that handles filter for updates,graphicreports, and quickreports?

I can’t seem to get guigetsimplefilter() to work.

But the source code for reportlib.sml is not available so hard for me to see what the problem is.

[JD Kromkowski]

Oops. pasted wrong thing. Is guigetsimplefilter() the way to access the filter GUI?

I see that graphicreport1 has property allowuserdefinedfilter but I don’t see corresponding property for quickreport1 or report1?

PS Really wish all the help docs were accessible from IDE and that you could search them all at once.

Ok, I found how and where the file is being saved.

You browse and find the .csv which is your source.

Then you type in for example "testimport"

It will be saved in C:SIMPOLbin

BUT it will not have an ".sbm" extension (which is why i could never find it.)

It will just be sitting there as:

C:SIMPOLbintestimport

So this is clearly a bug.

[JD Kromkowski]

It seems to be there probably is a better way to do this (but I don't know exactly what is happening – consider my email offer).

pseudo code

get first line with field names

open the modify table and let user set the field types and indexes. (it happens at the end but it should happen up front.)

save the empty table

import the data into the proper table.

I am not sure what are saying. I do open up the tables individually in
advance. The bug is also reproduced in Personal. I showed you screen
shots. If you have a form with detailblocks – it only works correctly
if all of the tables used are in 1 sbm.

If you can show me otherwise, please do.

What exactly do you mean by "IP".

And what doess that time frame for "final" sale look like?

I see what you are saying. But that means there is definitely a bug.

As I've tried to document, I can only get this to work IF I put all of
the tables in 1 .sbm. If I have separate sbms for each table and only
one datasource (i.e. the IP address and port number) the forms do not
properly show the data.

Your appframe example does not use detailblocks in the forms. The only
way I can get a ppcs appframe thing working is if I put all of the
tables into ONE sbm.

But that is really no good, is it?

Putting 15 or 20 tables all into one datasource! That means if
something gets corrupted or otherwise messed up in one table, everything
ends up being potentially messed up.

should I wait until v1.8 to explore this.

There definitely seemed to have been a problem using appframework and
PPCS with complicated forms where tables are not all put in the same
..sbm. (as was documented in this thread.)

As I understand it the menu copy and/or control c is not actual hooked up
to anything. It is supposed to copy a RECORD. If you are in a field and
have selected something, control c (or left mouse copy) works to copy
selection to clipboard as it normally would. (presuming you are using
windows.)

No. the simpol server works with the .sbm datasources and the table(s)
therein, not with SBFs.

There is a utility to convert an .SBF to a Simpol database. Also
Personal has a utility to import .csv, ascii delimited or xml into a
simpol database.
