RE: GETFILE() Returns Empty String in Some Cases

Mike, I agree with reasoning, but I have a slightly different methodology in that all table/database variables AREN'T designated with a type prefix but all programming variables are. This way there is never any confusion as I reckon that the name in a table should only reflect the contents not

Hi Mike I've seen that error before in my MAPI emailing programs on new workstations. When Office is installed via a non-DVD method, then the WIN.INI file does not always get updated for MAPI. Try adding this to that Windows 10 file: C:\Windows\win.ini [Mail] CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll

RE: GETFILE() Returns Empty String in Some Cases

RE: [NF] back to naming conventions

It always seems to me that using a naming convention on a table was redundant at best because every table is a table. However, if you are doing a large project with a lot of tables, using a prefix can help you group similar tables together. For example, if you are building a complete accounting
