Jennifer, I think I'm right in saying there a limit to the length (number of characters) that a command can be but I couldn't find quickly what it is if there is one.
You say that you're updating a lot of columns so could it be that you've breached that limit? Regards, Alastair. ----- Original Message ----- From: Roberts, Jennifer To: RBASE-L Mailing List Sent: Friday, November 28, 2008 8:10 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Advice please... I have tried working this out when by using a temp table and then once confirmed all the data is there that is required, I want to now update the permanent table. Everything works great until the update. Are there any restrictions on updating from a temp table? These tables have a lot of information. My syntax looks like this, except for I'm updating every column instead of just two: Update clients set status = t2.status, casemanager = t2.casemanager + From clients t1, tclients t2 + Where t2.client# = t1.client# Thanks.

Hello all, I am working with Rbase version 7.6.5.3.1125, and I have a form with an enhanced tab control. The first tab shows client information, and one of the fields pertaining to a client is their status. I want to force the user to have to fill in other fields if the status is active, however I don't want the user to have to fill in those other fields if the status is monitor, inquiry or close. I would normally check for these things through an eep on a push button. However, when the user switches to another tab, the record saves. I have tried to create a trigger, but it rolls back all the changes and I haven't been able to stop it from going to the next tab before checking. The eep on the tab change only fires when going back to the tab and not when leaving the tab, so that doesn't work. Should I try a rule in the table? I was not able to find much information on rules to know whether this would work. Or should I recreate this form and not use the enhanced tab control. Any ideas??? Thank you and wishing all of you a Happy Thanksgiving.
