Hi David
Thanks for the oGlobal suggestion it worked like a charm.
In answer to your question, the properties/objects added were
_Screen.AddObject('iLogo','Image')
oi = _Screen.iLogo
_Screen.AddObject('Title','Label')
ol1 = _Screen.Title
_Screen.AddObject('Description','Label')
ol2 = _Screen.Description
_Screen.AddObject('Motto','Label')
ol3 = _Screen.Motto
_Screen.AddObject('cShadow','Label')
ol4 = _Screen.cShadow
_Screen.AddObject('CopyRight','Label')
ol5 = _Screen.CopyRight
These objects are manipulated to show the Customers log etc in the
centre of the application desktop.
They were left alone as I have had no problems with them
The properties consisted of
WITH _Screen
.AddProperty("nTreeViewWidth",0,1,"Holder for width of Tree menu
down side")
.AddProperty("dDeliveryDate",DATE(),1,"Holder for Delivery
Date") .AddProperty("cStockCode","",1,"Holder for selected Stock Code")
.AddProperty("cDescript","",1,"Holder for Description")
.AddProperty("cCustCode","",1,"Holder for Customer Code")
.AddProperty("nQtyRecvd",0,1,"Holder for Quantity Received")
.AddProperty("nQtyOrdered",0,1,"Holder for Quantity Ordered")
.AddProperty("nQtyShort",0,1,"Holder for Quantity Short
Shipped")
.AddProperty("cCustCode","",1,"Holder for Customer Code")
.AddProperty("nCostOfGoods",0,1,"Holder for Cost of Goods")
.AddProperty("nCOGTotal",0,1,"Holder for Cost of Goods Total")
.AddProperty("nCOPTotal",0,1,"Holder for Cost of Packaging
Total")
.AddProperty("cColour","",1,"Holder for Colour")
.AddProperty("cCustColour","",1,"Holder for Customer Colour")
.AddProperty("cLeather","",1,"Holder for Leather")
.AddProperty("cSample1","",1,"Holder for Sample1")
.AddProperty("cSample2","",1,"Holder for Sample2")
.AddProperty("cBoxed","",1,"Holder for Boxed")
.AddProperty("nTradeIncBox",0,1,"Holder for Trade inc Box")
.AddProperty("nRetail",0,1,"Holder for Retail Price")
ENDWITH
These properties are used to transfer data back to the underlying form
grid. When you type the 1st letter of the Style No/Stock Code another
form opens up to allow you to pick from a pick list which is populated
with all codes that match the letters as they are typed and when
narrowed down to a few the operator down arrows and selects a code and
then on the form the data held in the code table populates the text
box's allowing them to alter and add things like quantity, then the
click OK and the grid in the calling form is populated. These properties
pass the data from one form to the other.
At first there were only five, it was as you say only after I added a
few more that the error started to occur.
Incidentally when the purchase order is completed it then opens an Excel
sheet and populates that to produce the final P.O. I am still
struggling with using the report writer to do it as the final P.O. needs
to be in PDF format before it is emailed to the manufacturers in India
or China. Eurico has sent me something but I haven't had time to
experiment with that yet, hopefully this week end. If you have the time
and wouldn't mind??? I could come over to see you.
Cheers
Peter
P.S. How do you get the chevrons into the previously posted paragraph.
