RE: [RBASE-L] - SHORTFILENAME vs. LONGFILENAME

Manuel, While preparing a sample form to illustrate the use of all GETPROPERTY options for FileListBox control, and having some fun (of course), if your objective is to just get the "file name only", without other stuff, such as drive, path, etc., you may use the GETPROPERTY command as

Re: [RBASE-L] - SHORTFILENAME vs. LONGFILENAME

RE: [RBASE-L] - SHORTFILENAME vs. LONGFILENAME

Manuel, Look at LoadFileName & LoadFileNamePlus plugins that are included with R:BASE and see if they give you what you need. Good luck, Paul Buckley 4.1.3 LoadFileName The LoadFileName plugin is used to load a file name into a variable by displaying a dialog window for the user

RE: [RBASE-L] - SubReports

Lena, I am away from the office and I know that I have several reports where I turn off the displays of certain sections. So it's possible I may get this wrong. Place your sub-report in a section (something that gives you a componentid) Test for your condition in the report ON BEFORE START eep.

You don't by any chance do something like WRITE (or show var) .vBody=100 do you? If you embed CRs in the text, you cannot also display a width otherwise you get all these weird breaks Karen -Original Message- From: Jim Belisle To: rbase-l
