Thanks a lot Chris.

Unfortunately, I tried that here and things are still the same. I even tried rebooting the both the main server and my own computer. What's strange is that everything worked okay in the fall. Could it have to do with the version of Progress I'm running (8.3B)?

Not yet...

Hi, I'm not exactly sure if this is Progress related, but we've currently had a problem with our customers' TNET time not automatically move with Daylight Savings Time. I wasn't sure if this is a Progress problem, since the regular Windows time changed accordingly, but the time in our...

Hi, Thanks - I gave up though and just made it a sequence...everything works okay now. Ray

Thanks a lot - I'll give it a try.

Hi James, Thanks for your help - unfortunately, I tried them both, and they don't seem to work. I'm thinking maybe it's something in another piece of code keeping it locked. I'll play around with it some more, and maybe I'll suddenly figure it out. Ray

Well, I wanted to work with it the way that it is, instead of making it a sequence. I thought it would be just a matter of unlocking it at a certain place. What's weird is that if I tell it "find current order_ref exclusive-lock" right before the assign statement, then "find current order_ref...

Hi, I'm having a problem with a piece of code that is supposed to allow more than one user to copy a record from the same screen at the same time. It should look at the last_ord_num variable and automatically increase the order number by one every time another user goes into the screen. The...

Hi, I need to tell a program that I'm working on to save a file to the current user's windows:\temp directory. I remember hearing of code that lets tells Progress which version of Windows is being run (so it knows what directory to save to), and was wondering how to do so.

thanks

Hi, I was wondering if there is a utility and/or command that can be used to kill a user when their PC crashes and a record is still locked?

Hi Chris, I believe the message was something like, "None of the widgets in WAIT-FOR are sensitive". It looked like a WAIT-FOR somewhere else in the program was trying to work with something that I was trying to make not sensitive. I fixed the problem though by adding another WAIT-FOR right...

Hi, I have a program that contains 3 different windows, with tabs to switch between the three. When I click a certain button, I need to have the three windows, including the tabs to not be sensitive. I can make the windows sensitive with no problem, but when I tell the tabs to not be...

Hi, I was wondering if there's a way to set up a window so you can't move it across the screen.
