    Emailing Reports

    We are currently using ActivePDF server to convert our 9.1D Report Builder reports to a .pdf format so we can email reports. For several (unimportant to this topic) reasons, we want to find another solution. Is anyone successfully emailing RB reports? Running them to a file isn't good...

    Combo-Box Drop-Down Trigger?

    I want to increase the width of a combo box (to a 'fixed' width - I don't need dynamic) when the user drops down the cb list. Is there an event trigger for that (like ON Drop-Down)? None of the standard obvious triggers handle this one. Any help would be appriciated! :-)

    Unlimited License

    Does anyone out there still have an unlimited license? In other words, were you able to save it from Progress screwing you out of it? We just received a maintenance renewal form that is demanding a maintenance fee that is "15" times the price we were paying. And this was done with no...

    Exchange 2003

    My company approved us to go this year! Yeah! BUT! - Progress has not release any details of the schedule. All they've announced (that I can find) is the dates in Boston (April 13-16). That is a Sunday - Wednesday, but I don't know if Sunday is just a pre-reg and if Wed. is a full day...

    Progress 400 DS License Update

    Can any Progress 400 Data Server users shed some light on this ridiculous problem... We just purchased additional licenses for the Progress 400 DS and to my shock and dismay, Progress tells me that I have to do a complete reinstall to activate the additional licenses. Apparently they never...

    SESSION:SET-WAIT-STATE("compiler")!

    I just stumbled across this and wondered if anyone knew the difference between: SESSION:SET-WAIT-STATE("compiler") and SESSION:SET-WAIT-STATE("general") We always use the "general" one to get an hour glass and halt user activity while the system is busy. But I just noticed...

    Progress 400 DS License Add

    How do you add licenses to your Progress 400 Data Server installation? We originally purchased 5 and are now purchasing more. Progress tells me I have to reinstall the entire product. Please tell me someone knows a better way. TIA -dk-

    Report Builder Dev

    Does anyone know of a way to "specify" a db connection on a saved report, rather than having the report builder use the connection that is saved with the report - **when pulling it up in development**? I've tried running it direct with prorb32.exe and -pf file, but it will always use the...

    Block Size Change

    My research tells me that the optimal os Block Size for a Progress DB is 8k. The UNIX server that our Progress databases are served on was setup at 1k. I would assume that the only way to change it to 8k would be to re-setup the file systems. Is there a better way? Would it be a...

    Production Mode Changes...?

    After reading: Is online db change possible? Has anyone come up with an ingenious way (in Progress - not SQL or ODBC etc.) to get around this? Our IT Director has proposed the following: Create a copy of the LIVE db - in both schema and data. We'll call the new copy...

    Nostalgia

    Whilst cleaning out some old disks, I came across the "Progress Report Builder CBT, Beta Version 1.0" on floppy disk from 1995. Even the label has yellowed! :dead: :clown:

    style sheet in CGI Wrapper question

    Rookie question here... How does one reference the style properties that include "{" and "}" when Progress doesn't like them. Here is my grieving code (in a CGI wrapper): RUN outputHeader. {&OUT} "<HTML>":U SKIP "<HEAD>":U SKIP "<TITLE> {&FILE-NAME} </TITLE>":U SKIP...
