Claudine: Bill's summary is right on the money, my conversion was a little more eventful as I was upgrading (at the same time) from 4.5++ DOS to 6.5++ Windows. The quote change in my code was done with global replace from RBEDIT (you can use your favorite editor). While I was at it, I took the time to clean up my code and update old legacy commands and use new methods such as CHOOSE to run menus, and forms to run the entire application. The quote/single/many conversion went smoothly, I had a lot more problems changing features that were available under DOS and that are not available under Windows (go figure...). If you have more specific questions, let us know and I, or one of the many "gurus" in the list will surely help you. Knowing that you will be compatible with the rest of the world is definitely worth the effort, it certainly was for me.

Now, what is the best approach to switching to single quotes? ~Claudine :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Javier Valencia Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 9:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: null setting problem win 6.5++ 1,858b Bernie: I finally bit the bullet and converted all my apps. to single quote, % and _. The reason is that if you want to have true ODBC compatibility these are the standard settings. My application will need to be interfaced with a Geographic Information System (GIS) and this is what other ODBC compliant software use. This may also be a requirement for Tango.

But I still needed to set eqnull on. There was a big discussion on eqnull a while back but I never found a need for it til now. Will 7.0 ignore double quotes? or why did u suggest I start using single quotes. I've got a lot of legacy systems out there and I just kept sticking with dubl. Also, I hate using % and _ -- it just looks strange to me. Give me good ol * and ? It's hard teaching an old dog new tricks.

P.S. sure wish I had a copy of 7.0 but I can't afford the time and cost to go to Pitt again. (stock market is in the pits -- I even had to settle for Buick when I really wanted the CTS) ================================================ TO SEE MESSAGE POSTING GUIDELINES: Send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: INTRO rbase-l ================================================ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: UNSUBSCRIBE rbase-l ================================================ TO SEARCH ARCHIVES: http://www.mail-archive.com/rbase-l%40sonetmail.com/ ================================================ TO SEE MESSAGE POSTING GUIDELINES: Send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: INTRO rbase-l ================================================ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: UNSUBSCRIBE rbase-l ================================================ TO SEARCH ARCHIVES: http://www.mail-archive.com/rbase-l%40sonetmail.com/ ================================================ TO SEE MESSAGE POSTING GUIDELINES: Send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: INTRO rbase-l ================================================ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: UNSUBSCRIBE rbase-l ================================================ TO SEARCH ARCHIVES: http://www.mail-archive.com/rbase-l%40sonetmail.com/ ================================================ TO SEE MESSAGE POSTING GUIDELINES: Send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: INTRO rbase-l ================================================ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: UNSUBSCRIBE rbase-l ================================================ TO SEARCH ARCHIVES: http://www.mail-archive.com/rbase-l%40sonetmail.com/
