Thank you so much David for posting this comprehensive recap of the conference! Goes into my gem file :) :)
One more note to add: In his presentation on understanding and editing the sys_forms3 table, Aleksey shared the cool shortcut in RBase Database Explorer to SHIFT-CTRL-ALT-F8 to bring up the "System Tables" in the Group Box on the left of the screen. Use with caution! Thanks Aleksey! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David M.

Especially great were all the people presenting for the first time!! * We had full cooperation from everyone, generous offers of help and volunteers whenever we needed them to make being an MC a painless and fun experience! * We were able to express our sincere thanks and appreciation in concrete terms to Razzak and the entire RBTI team for the wonderful tools we have been given and their incomparable responsiveness to us. Thanks to Claudine Robbins and Adriana Montano, we gave lovely gifts to all of them and a huge card signed by everyone at the conference! Those who attended, feel free to add more to my notes! SUMMARY OF CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS: SATURDAY OCTOBER 23 NEW PRODUCT: R:BASE 7.5, Part I - RAZZAK Razzak demonstrated 7.5 in several parts. Several of the key new features will be: Explorer - right click and show hints under icons or hide icons Multiple Language options available Browser: if you mouse over a note field the whole text is shown Enter works to move in browser Forms New Caption Toolbar options Tabs that are not relevant (no data for those tables) can be suppressed This is a new PROPERTY command feature Themes - totally different look and feel without changing the form - R:Themes - 30 bundled in - will most likely be add on product, though there was discussion about including it with R:Base instead Reports Pause box is build into the report: New Report "EEPS" - programs that will run on start, after start a report: for example, a custom PAUSE on screen while the report is building - SEE BILL DOWNALL PRESENTATION BELOW Report generated with PDF can have password with it - can be case sensitive - Low level - view only - High level - can print, copy etc. Table of contents in PDF generated report!! - Bookmarks! Generate report in HTML, XHTML and table of contents works the same way There will be a fee to upgrade to 7.5 Any registered user can request to be a beta tester REMOTE CONNECTIVITY - ALEXEI NICOLINI Alexei demonstrated LIVE a dazzling Pocket PC application linking directly to a server with Terminal Services client. Terminal services Client faster with 256 colors TSC comes with Pocket PC 2003 NO programming for Pocket PC needed He recommended Pocket PC with integrated Bluetooth Pick PC w/ Integrated Wi-Fi Advantages: Processing occurs on the server side No limit to memory Disadvantages: Must be connected to LAN or internet Form size on the Pocket PC is 220 x 267 Nicolai demonstrated again his powerful utility SENDFILE.EXE that makes sending / receiving files "idiot proof" for users. It can be used from within R:Base simply with: LAUNCH Sendfile.exe renew - simple R:Base command - looks for file RENEW.TXT in install directory - LOOK WHAT I'VE DONE WITH R:BASE- MARK KWOKA - "Vera Wang Runs on R:Base" Mark demonstrated a beautiful, elegant R:Base 7.1 application using bar coding and simple, easy to use yet attractive R:Base forms. The application was created for one of the world's best known creators of custom wedding gowns. DESIGNING DYNAMIC SEARCH OPTIONS IN R:BASE: Razzak The sample form on the CD is Form SearchCriteria in RRBYW10 This elegant example showed a form with 4 radio buttons: For each radio button that you want to search by, PROPERTY command displays the correct control and hides the others, based on an "on click" EEP for the radio button. Razzak demonstrated how to set this up. Useful tips included: Action from menu - internal eep sets up vars needed On after start - variables set to null, and set visible PROPERTY to false for ALL controls To avoid flashing when the form opens: PROPERTY WIDTH 0 AS LAST STEP when creating the form - after everything is set up and working correctly Once this is done, you can still edit the form using the menu to display all controls and then edit as needed. THE ON CLICK EEP for the radio button just makes the various controls visible / not visible: The "Search" Button on the form does the work of each option TO use the form, sequence is: Click radio button selection - the correct control comes up Fill in what the search asks for Click on Search I noticed an interesting change in programming style: define vars for the form in the BEFORE START EEP, not in the code calling the form. The Component ID: will have no limit in # characters in 7.5 CREATING A CONSISTENT VISUAL INTERFACE - EMMITT DOVE - BLUE RIDGE PAPER COMPANY Emmitt shared some excellent tips on how to do this and demonstrated his beautiful results: The Hard way - set color / font properties of every form Easy way - Use Themes in RBASE 7.5 Preparation: Conceptualize the visual theme - look at established graphical identity Web site Stationary Emmitt used the company logo as a background for EVERY screen Prepare some samples and show to your users - involve marketing, graphics design department Start with form with most of the object types you will use Get colors set to your satisfaction Add to custom colors if you create one Add each object type to a "toolbox" form Use cut and paste copy controls from this custom form to the one now being developed!! Tool box: Create a program with templates for each of your commands (PAUSE / DIALOG / CHOOSE) Call it 0.0; in RBEDIT set up to list all files and then this will always the first in the list He sets up forms with objects having GENERIC Captions - then he uses PROPERTY to assign caption values Use a standard background on all forms Emmitt created ONE form with a standard background - matching the background of main menu One AMAZING example was a ONE TIME ON entry to row EEP for this form which creates a command to RUN the parameter sent it - executes it and then CLOSEWINDOW - all controlled from the form! IN other words, this ONE form serves as a background for ALL programs in the application and the EEP starts ALL menu choices. You have to see the sample on the CD to full appreciate how elegant and simple this is! Old way of getting standards: More work - pay attention to all details BUT - you have complete control over the application New way: R:Themes: Less work But you can't control all controls Still must deal with standards for CHOOSE, PAUSE, DIALOG A BEAUTIFUL APPLICATION! NEW PRODUCT: R:THEMES: RAZZAK Is add on product with DLL If you have it installed, when you open FORM PROPERTIES get a new tab for THEME and select one of the 30 themes Controls the look and feel of: Title bar at top Bit Button Combo Box DBNavigator Many more! What doesn't it change? Test by put all controls on a form! If you put a custom color on a button it is overridden by the theme; if you have an image on the button and don't want the old color to show around it - make it transparent Must apply themes to ONE form at a time RBTI will help you create a new theme if you want one See sample on CD to run and look at all 30 to decide the look and feel IF YOU design forms with R:Themes - customer must also have R:Themes If you buy Runtime / R:Compiler it DOES have unlimited use NEW PRODUCT: R:SCRIPTER FOR R:BASE 7.1 MIKE BYERLY: This is a new Plugin for R:Base that allows you to store other language scripts right in R:Base and run the code with a simple PLUGIN command. Mike's example on the CD shows: Plugin: For Pascal Script, VB Script, J Script Source code stored as VARCHAR data in database in his sample Samples: Filesize of text fle Number lines in text file Current network drive API Message box: Multi function call - simple example of multiple functions StringList - add item to string list and retrieve it - in background of list boxes in Test timeout Get URL currently up in explorer into R:Base Starts Word and opens a file - could modify to open multiple documents at once! - (you would have to modify his code) API GetUtil - generates code as point to part of screen You'll have to take apart his table structure, eeps, and sample form on the CD to follow examples of plugin code he's building NEW PRODUCT: R:SCOPE 7.5 FOR WINDOWS: JOHN MINYO R:Scope was originally created 1990. Every version has been in DOS until now This new version will work with 6.5 and higher Besides the obvious advantages of a Windows interface, some of the nice new features include: * Printer set up for error log * New View Data options * You can open in multi-user mode - you can't do all fixes but you can look at the data * In manual row can click on "VIEW DATA" and see the actual row NEW FEATURE IN NEW PRODUCT: SUB-REPORTS IN R:BASE 7.5 - BILL DOWNALL When you create a report with a sub-report, R:Base displays tabs at the bottom of screen for main and sub reports There is now a new Tables - Add/remove table option in the menu, so one report can be based on table x, and the sub-report on table y IN the past, a ONE TO MANY report showing, for example, All customers, inclu ding those with contacts and without them would have required setting up an outer join between the Customer and Contacts tables and then basing the report on this outer join. SUB REPORTS MEAN THIS IS NO LONGER NECESSARY You can set up the main and sub-reports in a region to permit the main and sub-report data to stretch together if needed How does a sub-report decide which rows to display from the sub-report? Link of two tables / view is based on common column names and is automatic How do you sort data in a sub-report? In the sub-report definition you set break points OR to limit rows in sub-report further OR sort, create VIEW to limit the rows and sort the data, then base that sub-report on the view Four New Report / Actions: Examples of how to use them: Before Preview - Predefine vars defined; preset page number; if vars built into view, define the variables for the views here After Preview - clear the vars? Before Generate - a PAUSE 3 to say it's preparing After Generate - a CLS to get PAUSE 3 off when it's all built These actions are available ONLY on the master report IN another example Bill showed us, with contacts and invoices - if there ARE invoices, it prints them, if NOT NOTHING prints - so NO outer join is needed and NOTHING prints if are none - no headers, no nothing! This is BETTER than the old way and lots simpler! SUB REPORTS CAN HAVE SUB REPORTS WATCH OUT: Don't use same variable name in main and subs In the example on the CD with CUSTOMER, CONTACTS, TransMaster, TransDetails to have proper sub reports, Contacts and Transactions have CustID so they are subs of main, Transdetail does NOT so it has to be a sub of the TransMaster sub-report - this also allows NO header for main or details if are NOT transactions FORMS DOCUMENTATION: SAMI AARON: This requires setting up some new tables to document your forms, and, for now, requires MANUAL entry as you create your application, of the documentation. Sami showed a very complicated form with a US map: the user could click on a state and get data about airports for that state The new tables are: SMS_Forms and SMS_FormsDetails Sami's Install file on the CD puts theses tables and all views, reports, forms you're your database To use you must: Add tables, etc to database Have 2 copies of RBase open, one in design, one in her sms_forms form and add a row for each control as you develop or document. RBASE 7.5 PART II: RAZZAK The new PDF options are all through a huge list of new OPTIONS in the PRINT command under OPTION PDF To see the example on the CD, IN RRBYW10 -select Reports / Secure PDF Reports with TOC Some of the new options include: OWNER_Password (can print, etc) - overrides the limitations set by ENABLE options below USER_Password (user can view only) ENCRYPT_FILE ON - ask for password ENCRYTION_LEVEL 128BIT (lower case / upper case included in the password) GENERATE_TOC ON - a table of contents shows up on the left side of document in Adobe if you click on BOOKMARKS tab to the left - makes fast navigating of the document possible (I look forward to this in the new R:DOCS!!!) ENABLE_PRINTING ON/OFF ENABLE_COPYING ON/OFF ENABLE_MODIFYING ON/OFF (His samples on the CD show options in alpha order but they don't have to be) PRESENTATION_MODE ON/NONE - if on, need more time to display USE_COMPRESSION ON PAGE_LAYOUT_SINGLE_PAGE (or comes up with icons per page) These show in Document Summary option in Adobe TITLE SUBJECT AUTHOR KEYWORDS THE AMAZING SELECT COMMAND: DAVID BLOCKER I demonstrated the basics of SELECT using the SELDEMO.RMD program on the CD, and then demonstrated several interested and unusual multi- table joins and the advantages of each: SELF - JOINS: joining a table to itself. Examples included: Simple bill of materials and more complex bill of materials A "ranked list": showing clients in order by amount of total sales, including a "ranking" number, all with one SELECT CARTESIAN PRODUCTS: deliberately joining ALL rows in table with ALL rows in another: Samples included: A "partial" cartesian product allowing a report showing the contribution of each actor to a film's sales Getting around a "Cursor" lock on a table when all you're doing is using the cursor to read data, not change it. Printing multiple copies of the same mailing label, grouping the same labels together SUNDAY OCTOBER 24, 2003: UNDERSTANDING AND EDITING THE SYS_FORMS3 TABLE - ALEXEI CHUYASOV: To see what's really stored in the table: Browse all from sys_forms3 Double click on the SYS_DATA column! Object oriented conception : Each object is displayed in a tree structure For each component: Object Properties End Very careful about editing this table to mess up the "end" My idea: could we load this data into a table with one row per line in text and use it to document a form? CAN EDIT AN OBJECT IN AN AMAZING WAY! - point to it in forms designer - Ctrl X - Paste into notepad - Edit it - Copy it - Paste onto the form - The changed object will appear on the from in the right spot! WARNING: If you are editing the sys_forms3 table the form should NOT be open in the designer JOB APP NETWORK: RANDY MORROW, RINART PEPA This was a demonstration of a remarkable 6.5++ application. Randy and Rinart run their ENTIRE company off R:Base: their clients set up automated Job applications: applicants, apply, have interviews, etc. all over the phone, all run automatically by R:Base, with R:Base storing the conversations and answers in full! Interactive Voice Data and Facts: "The Future of Hiring" They plan to set out a huge number "take a number" containers (like you see at a supermarket deli-counter) all over nationally to advertise this service People call in for job openings with their clients - R:Base is behind scenes - handling hundreds of thousands of calls Automated voice mail THIS IS AN AMAZING EXAMPLE OF aN APPLICATION HANDLING NATIONWIDE PHONE CALL 24 hours a day stored in huge dATAbASE! CUSTOMIZED QUICK REFERENCE FORMS: Charlie Parks: There's no way to describe this - you have to see it to believe it and understand it!! ********* LOOK AT THIS ON THE CD! Among other things, Charlie opened our eyes to a great feature on 7.x forms: "CUSTOM FORM ACTION". You find this under- Layout / Custom Form Action; you set up code that can be executed many times in one form with a PROPERTY command! ELECTRONIC VOTING: BERNIE LIS: Bernie took us into the wonderland of a WHAT IF R:Base was used to set up a nationwide voting system application; in the process he launched his campaign for President and shared some truly disgraceful jokes! R:WEB SUITE: RAZZAK AND RAFEE: Razzak and Rafee gave yet another great demonstration of a all the terrific things you can do with PHP and R:WEB SUITE. This included a good example of a table to track all who log in (IP addresss, server from, report printed), etc. What does your service provider need to run a web site developed with R:WEB SUITE? Not much! All have PHP, 1AND1.COM is an example of who can host it, the provide 124 gig server access $29 per month BUILDING A SCHEDULE USING R:BASE PROPERTIES: DAVID KOS - BLUE RIDGE PAPER COMPANY David showed a great example of how he built a calendar scheduling application using a Gantt Chart style display Behind it all were: Variable Edit Controls showing jobs, tasks related to a job Enhanced Panel Control to contain Job shifts or time intervals Hints to provide job or general information Pop-up forms = schedule cards or detail task info To look at it need 1200 dpi pixel setting to see full form at once on screen He showed a BIG block of code that runs on entry to the form that sets properties for each of the schedule blocks - setting top, sizes, colors of each job block to show it in the proper position on the form. NEW PRODUCT: R:FAX: ALEXEI CHUYASOV: This is a plug in to send faxes from R:Base It includes: Options to view the file Options to include cover page Pages can be text, PIFF, JPG It assumes you have a modem and phone line - this assumes THAT way of sending faxes NEW PRODUCT: TURBO R:BASE 8.0 - A WORK IN PROGRESS - WAYNE ERICKSON R:BASE V-8 TURBO Wayne demonstrated this very close to ready for prime time product! Features include: Large file sizes Long column/ table / names SET NAMEWIDTH command which controls the length of the display on LIST commands Row size now 4k - may be longer Filenames will be rX1 to rX4 Wayne showed a database with #2 file 3.4 gig Expression size limit may increase from 240 to 1000 Steve Sweeney demonstrated a LIVE Hewlett Packard account which actually using Turbo R:Base 8.0 - #2 file 4.3 gig He showed a table with 3 million rows of data and did a sample select group by command with very fast results There could be possible new data types such as Boolean NEW PRODUCT: RBZIP: ALEXEI CHUYASOV Another plugin! Plugin rbzip-rbl Option: show_dialog - this indicates where to create the zip file in an interactive mode - with a very friendly interface Can be used to compress or uncompress files See SampleRBZip.RMD Files created can be read by WinZip, etc. REPORTS: MERGE DATA AND USE OF REGIONS - CLAUDINE ROBBINS Claudine demonstrated a complex contract form that, with Razzak's help, she was able to create using R:Base 7. She used to use Extended Report Writer to do it. Starting in versions 4.5 and 4.5++, she ran into limitations and resorted to using data file exported to Word Star and later MS Word to create the contracts, a real productivity loss. Now she can do it in R:Base! Most of the document is boiler plate, but some of it must be at the end (unique ID) On her data entry form there are 12 possible boiler plate paragraphs to include in the contract. All she has to do know is check off what applies and it's included in the contract. This is accomplished by a program which builds all the long text strings needed, paragraphs, etc., load them into a temp table and the report runs off that table. She talked about a problem she had with successive DB memo objects one above the other. Here's how to get them to expand correctly: Text1 DBMemo1 Text2 DBMemo2 Text3 DBMemo3 Solution: * Region1 is around text1 and dbmemo1 * Region2 is around text2 and dbmemo2 and the REGION shifts relative to DBMemo1 * Region3 is around text3 and dbmemo3 and the REGION shifts relative to DBMemo2 NEW PRODUCT: R:ARCHIVE: RAZZAK This product is an R:Base application than can be used to manage document scanning Menu options in the product: Select Session Folder(s): Define directory for the current scanning session, define prefix for all files to be scanned in this session - gives default and you can change either or both - files will be named prefix_00000000.jpg, prefix_00000001.jpg, etc. Scan Document Automatic: Scanner is hooked up to PC, user clicks "Scan Document" and the program sends commands to the scanner to scan and the database stores - Doc Id, date, time, user (from network ID) and the doc name given. The user can then type in the title and notes and can view the doc: the image is a standalone JPG file on the drive in the directory you defined for that session. The application stores the full path /directory name \filename in the database Scan Document Manual: This allows you, for example, to scan the document, then bring it up for editing, select out just part of it and store THAT as the image! This is NOT on conference CD Includes an option to change the driver to use so you can use different equipment - including a digital camera!! You can change resolution (DPI) x and y, colors, output format, and whether or not to show the user interface It's all an R:Base application - we can change as we need to! Once you buy this, you can use it on our own, include it in another application, RCompile it and end up with an EXE to send out! CONVERTING 7.1 /5 DATABASES TO R:BASE V-8 TURBO: RAZZAK In 7.1: SET NULL -0- OUTPUT dbname.STR UNLOAD ALL OUTPUT SCREEN Creates STR and LOB file In R:Base V-8 Turbo: RUN dbname.STR There you go! CREATING CUSTOM HELP SCREENS: RAZZAK He uses a product to create them - it is available at www.helpandmanual.com This creates files CHM - the actual help file and HM3 - the designer file * Collect your image files needed (jpg files) * Very easy to create the tree of topics (table contents on the left) - then compile it Automatically gives you * table of contents * search option To run from R:Base - just LAUNCH xxxx.chm SETTING UP A FORM TEMPLATE: CHARLIE PARKS Charlie demonstrated a simple and powerful technique to create forms quickly. He created a sample standard form with, for example: Enhanced panel Topic on top Add tab page Add right hand panel for buttons, include splitter if want Add boxes to right panel to provide background for buttons The result is a "master form" with all his standard images on it - click and copy from it to start new forms. This is a basic standard form - just copy to new name and table and off you go! NEW PRODUCT: R:MAIL 2.5: JOHN MINYO Internally at RBTI they have an in-house application called R:WYWO (phone message management system) Sample app is on conference CD New front end It takes advantage of these new features in R:Mail 2.5 * Create Receipt * Lets you know if email could be sent or not * Saves authentication to log file To use this application: Copy the CD files and startup files to a network directory Create a Shortcut for 7.1 with RWYWO.DAT as the startup file PROGRAMMABLE CALENDAR IN R:BASE - VICTOR TIMMONS: Victor created a Calendar and scheduler application in R:Base 7.1 and is sharing it with us on the conference CD! Very slick use of forms and properties to do scheduling If you get this, notice in particular his idea of having an address in the application and turning it into a Map Quest request for directions to that address!!! NEW PRODUCT: R:JAVA: ALEXEI CHUYASOV This is not real R:Java but an ODBC connector The product is a DLL that permits connecting Java code to an R:Base back end Done and ready to ship PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: RCOMPILER: RAZZAK You can make your own icon, your own company name, etc. R:Compiler normally expects an RBA but you replace instead with an RMD instead! (This creates a standalone file IF ALL programs are stored in forms) Your application can build graphs with R:Charts - can distribute those too if you include RCHARTS.DLL with what you ship ODBC: RAZZAK: Razzak demonstrated an attempt to get into R:Base FROM Access. His point was that the Oterro driver works better than the usual R:Base ODBC driver MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2004 AUTOMATED BACKUP / PACK / RELOAD ROUTINES FOR R:BASE 7.1: DAVID BLOCKER I demonstrated a standard set of programs that will work on ANY database to perform these 3 critical functions from an R:Base application. All are based on a standard set of code and all have extensive error trapping to be sure every step works before you go on the next one. I demonstratead 3 alternative methods of keeping a background screen up during the process, since an R:Base form cannot normally remain on screen during the backup. Method 1: Use a program I got from Mike Byerly to create a background screen Method 2: Use the Application designer, not a form, to create your main menu Method 3: LAUNCH another session of R:Base that displays a screen that looks like your main menu form but is actually from another database; files created by the backup programs are used to signal the other application when it can close. The first two methods are fully available and documented on the conference CD. The third was based on an idea from Emmitt Dove at the conference and was written there. It is NOT on the conference CD. Contact David privately if you'd the files. DAWN OAKES - RAPID CONVERSION TO 7.5+: Heinrich Ceramic Decal, Inc. Dawn demonstrated an elaborate system to use of hazardous raw materials such as lead in her company which creates customized ceramic products (Mugs, plates, etc.) What did she do to convert rapidly from 6.5++? She did NOT add bells and whistles and just converted They also developed a method of getting histogram data from a Mac application to R:Base EXPANDING THE CAPABILITIES OF R:WEB SUITE: DALE THOMAS R:Web suite is great, but sooner or later you'll need to learn PHP. You can do simple applications fast with R:Web suite. But then you will run into things that are way over your head: normally you' ll contract these out Then there are those in the middle: ;these were the focus of his presentation. He demonstrated and includes in his conference CD files: * Using Styles: control look and feel of entire application / site by doing it at one site * All info about your PHP installation - system vars, etc - are available with one command: PHPINFO * Doing ODBC queries Odbc_result_all command: - this is for debugging purposes - it throws everything from the query into a table (file ODBC_RES.PHP) - this is VERY powerful and simple example to look at * CLOCK.HTM - a clock that moves around with your mouse! * EMAIL.PHP - sending emails using PHP * CALENDAR.PHP - a calendar Resources to learn PHP: * BOOK - Poor's PHP Programming by Atkinson * WEB site - www.php.net RBG7 REPORT QUEUE - CALLING RBG7 REPORTS FROM ANYWHERE - STEVE SWEENEY In the past, Steve and others had to build a seperate report in 6.5++ then again from scratch in a web design tool to get the report printed from the web. NOW - can call report produced by v7 anywhere on web WEB: inserts row into a table with report to print, where clause, order by In his example created for HP, there are three workstations than run an application all the time looking for a row in that table The REP_QUE table includes the report name, where, order by and workstation ID that claims the request The application: Locks the table - looks for row with report but no filename and location Prints the report creating file name, posts to the row the workstation id producing it, filename created, etc. WEB application looks for that row and then shows that file at that server location - the report! A HUGE time and money saver for your clients! IMPLEMENTING A FLEET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: JAVIER VALENCIA Javier demonstrated a comprehensive and elegant system for maintaining a large number of vehicles for a department of public works.
