RE: Argh. Any have the stack window disappear in development?
I have had this occur several times also, one time even closing and reopening the stack would not unhide it, had to go to application browser and clicking on the stack there made it visible. I could never determine what the problem was. Occurred On Windows XP SP2. I am speculating that Windows is minimizing the stack and then not showing it in the taskbar, just a guess though.

Updating local valentina DB
Hi I am loading a Local Valentina Database into a table field, I have everything working great on reading all the tables from the Database. Now I am looking for a way to make simple changes like changing just a field or two for a few records to fix problems. I have looked at trying to use cell editing in the table, that does not seem to work very well? Something more I have to do then just check the box? I have also tried use the revexecuteSQL command and then SQL, but most user's of the program will not be able to do that. Any suggestions? Thanks Michael Parent ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Database Query Builder, commit changes
Hello, all I need to make some simple changes to a Valentina DB, the Query builder is a great tool and I have everything set to open the tables and edit the fields. The problem comes when I am saving the changes back. If I use the auto edit feature of the Query Builder I get no erros but the changed data is not committed, on refresh the original field contents show. I tried a button with revCommitDatabase currentDB and I get cant find handler error. I am sure there is something simple I am missing, thanks all Michael Parent Read Naturally 1-800-788-4085 ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
RE: Database Query Builder, commit changes
Hello Jan, I did not check 'cache record set as I will be opening many different Db files. When I do a change and either click refresh query from Query Builder or through a Button set to the auto refresh action from Query Builder the original Data is displayed on screen.

When you explicitly refresh the query, do the changes show up or not ? Jan Schenkel.

Several Text issues
Hello, I have been reading all the user list messages for awhile and learning lots about Revolution, but I am still a newbie at it. I am using Ken Ray's Directory Walking (thanks Ken) to put the path of all files in a directory in a scroll text field: I have read the documentation and searched the user list archives but still cannot find how to do a couple of things. 1. I would like to format the text in the field for better reading, how do I use the set htmltext property to format the text field, do I put that in the text field script? 2. I want the user to enter a search string and be able to find that in the text field, the string could be a file name or an extension type. Do I use the find command? what is the format? I want to be able to find anything that closeley matches the search as well as exact matches, and have that open in a new stack. The documenation shows how to use Find with a specific string but not how to do it with a variable. 3. I would like to be able to open to that file in an explorer window (only needs to be windows, but a cross platform way would be great) by clicking on the file name in the search result window. Thanks for all your help Michael Parent ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
RE: Several Text issues
I looked at these suggestions still need help 1 Cannot see how I set the Htmltext when I am putting the text into the field 2. I need to search by a user entered search string so it has to be by variable, how Do I use the Find command with a variable, or is there a different way to do this? 3. The revgourl seems to open the file, I don't want to open the file, I want to open the Explorer Window to that file location so then the user has access to the file to attach to email or burn to CD ect. This is mainly going to be on Windows XP Pro Thanks again Michael Parent -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thomas McGrath III Sent: Friday, April 22, 2005 10:16 AM To: How to use Revolution Subject: Re: Several Text issues Michael, HTH Tom On Apr 22, 2005, at 10:01 AM, Michael Parent wrote: 1.

Do this when you put the text into the field. If you do it by script then do it from there otherwise make a temp button and put it in there then delete the button later. 2.
