AskWoody LoungerI originally intended to use a separate table but the data has to be saved to a comma delimited string in the main table for export.
Technically, I could still use the separate table for the form and place an “update”button which saves the value to a string,
but I really need the validation option to stop a user from entering values in both sets of options.
Without that control array, I dont see that as possible. -

AskWoody LoungerActually, we’re using DBase 4, so it’s probably even uglier.
Yes, I tried that setting. No go.
More users are losing this functionality ( 1 more this morning)

AskWoody LoungerIn the DOS window we have 98-ME and 2000 as compatibility mode settings. Is there somewhere else I could check this?
I’m attaching a print of the dump. Perhaps that will help. -

AskWoody LoungerAhh…it’s just another licensing issue. So I will paste this nugget from the MSDN Help for future reference:
Files that use the .m1v extension typically are MPEG-1 elementary streams that contain only video information. Files that use .mpg or .mpeg extensions typically are MPEG-1 system streams that contain MPEG-1-encoded video and MPEG-1 Layer II (MP2)-encoded audio.
However, MPEG-1 system streams do not exclusively use the .mpg and .mpeg extensions. MPEG-2 program streams also frequently use .mpg and .mpeg file extensions, but they contain MPEG-2-encoded video. Because Microsoft Windows operating systems provide only an MPEG-1 video decoder, Windows Media Player cannot play MPEG-2 program streams without an additional MPEG-2 video decoder (also known as a DVD decoder pack) installed. For more information about purchasing DVD decoder packs, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

AskWoody LoungerSorry about that. I was kind of puzzled where it went and so I did a search for Media Player, and that’s the forum it turned up in.
It’s definitely a codec issue because I have it playing on another machine. -

AskWoody LoungerPart II- We’ve since opted to use the CD-ROM version of the file. It plays the sound but not the video. It throws error #80040200 wrong decompressor on execute. Anyone know which codec this might be? It’s for Media Player version 7.0. Thanks again.

AskWoody LoungerOK, I’m thinking that I’m going to have to code this in order to get it done as soon as possible.
What type of loop would you recommend to capture the values for the variables?
Also, how would I generate the run-time pagination function?
If I’m getting this right, I need to populate each fld.code.txt in a run-time pagination call.
Is there a way to distinguish which is the top and which is the bottom field?
I mean, do they have separate names or am I creating those too?
I think I’ll have a look in the object browser, I guess. -

AskWoody LoungerI saw a switch ( w ) which places a bookmark in the heading.
Can I use them in conjunction?
Also, with the ‘=Formula’ can I place a nested if statement?I’m thinking this is really looking like a programming venture.
Has anyone encountered something like this? -
