Hi, We are finally upgrading to the latest and greatest version of MFG, which means that we are looking at our current customisations and deciding if we need to keep them or retire them. There are some fairly heavy pieces of code that I dont see working at all well in the new .NET UI as ABL...

Hi, I am looking at perhaps using the Yahoo! PlaceFinder API but have not done anything like this in the ABL before so am at a loss on where to start. The documentation says "To access the PlaceFinder Web service, call HTTP GET on the base URI, specifying the input location with one or more...

Hi readers, In pretty much any MS development suite you can use a control called PcitureBox. I really want to use this in Progress but I cant find it anywhere. Can anyone give any pointers as to where I can find it? TIA, James.

Hi All, Is it possible for two people to load two different CIM files at once? For example, file1 has 10 entries and file2 has 20 entries. If both were loaded at once wouldnt batch ID 1 to 10 (instead of only consisting of file1 data) contain both file1 and file2 data? Cheers, James.

Hi Folks, I am using GUI Progress v8.3b and would like to connect from it to an SQL server running MS SQL Server 7 software. What are the minimum software requirements for me to do this the cheapest possible way?? TIA, James.

Hi All, I hope someone can help here. I am wanting to find all unposted transactions linked to PO receipts within a given date range. I work through TR_HIST using the date range for all tr_type = "RCT-PO" and from there I get the PO details and all of the voucher details (if any). The...

Hi All, I thought that I would post a tool that I created in the hope that people will find it as useful as I have. It allows a user to replace an occurance of one character in a file with another character. It is a DOS EXE file and it runs extremely fast. If people find it useful...

Howdy folks, I know I can trap error messages by using the error-status:error attribute but this doesn't seem to work on some errors that I am experiencing. My program can call any other program depending on the processing that it is doing, but if it calls a program, for example, that...

Hi All, I seem to be having a little problem that I just can't get my head round. I have a program (dataload.p) that creates or updates loads of records in my Progress database. If I run the program from the character editor the data loads OK with no more than seven records being locked...

Hi all, I have recently decided to go through a huge lump of old source code and begin to both tidy it up and bring it into the realms of version 8 (from the dark depths of version 6!). Some of the changes will include removing work files and incorporating temp tables and things like that...

Hello Folks, I am having a little bit of difficulty when running GUI programs. The program is a little report criteria screen that accepts two values, then goes away and pulls information from a database. The report is sent only to a text file but while the program is querying the...

Chris, I seem to be having problems seeing pictures in the forums. When I enter a forum I can't see any picture that should be on the board. This makes it impossible for me to see which are new posts etc. I have attached a zip file with a picture of what I am actually seeing...

Chris, I had my reservations about the new look when you changed to vBulletin but now that I have had a good dig around I have found that I have a lot more control over my profile than before. I also like the way that I can choose my own colour scheme for the boards (all though I must say...

Howdy Folks, I have a quick question about the speed differences in creating records in temp tables and in the DB itself. I have got a CSV file that I need a suite of progress apps to have access to. The first idea I had was to create a temp table and share it which works fine but once my...

Chris, Have you started taking feed from the PEG e-mail lists? It seems to have made my reading of the posts extremely more labour intensive when I have loads of them to surf through! (especially when I am also subscribed to PEG and I seem to be reading the same thing twice). James.

Good morning folks, Does anyone have any information about getting file information? If I submit a directory path to a progress application, I would like to search that directory (and all of its sub-directories) and build up a list of files and file sizes. Could someone possibly pass on...

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...

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 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...
