[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 23 August 2006]After writing a report program with AcuBench I moved the object to our test area and find AcuBenchPrint.dll is missing. I moved AcuBenchPrint.dll across and it works OK.I sent both of these to a client and they now get AcuBenchPrintExecWBPreview.dll missing.What do I need to deploy with report programs created in AcuBench ? I thought AcuBenchPrintExecWBPreview.dll was included in AcuBenchPrint.dllThanks in advance.

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 02 March 2006]I have a program that sends mail using the msmapi32.ocx, including attachments and it works fine through Outlook Express. I have tested this on various operating systems and it seems to work fine. My problem is with Outlook. The program that I am using does not set the UserName and Password properties before doing the SignOn. When I do attempt to set these properties, Outlook Express seems to ignore them and use the default email account anyway. If I do not set these fields for Outlook, the email goes into the outbox and it tries to send it, but it bounces back. I have noticed that the from field is blank and it does not appear to have the user friendly display name and the email address both in the "to" field. So, I set the "to" fields so that the email address was in the RecipDisplayName and the RecipAddress, but the "from" fields are still blank. If I change my program to use the Outl

Thread originally posted on 24 February 2006]Has anyone ever come up with a list of what exactly the different trace levels log in the debugger?Yes, I know the higher the number the more information is logged. And an undocumented trick I was given years ago is to add 256 to the number to get even more info. It would seem so much easier to have a list that I could use to pick a level based upon the information I'm looking for.brad

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 10 March 2006]Has anyone found a way of highlighting or changing the color of a line in a list box? Seems to be something one would want to do in many instances like multiple selections, tagging etc.Grids of course can do this, but the list box for small amounts of data is so much more elegant and easy to use.Any thoughts ?Keith

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 07 April 2006]I would like that, if controls are grouped in a frame, you could write DISPLAY FRAME instead of DISPLAY FORM.If you use DISPLAY FORM, a grid will display with its original size, no matter if the column widths has been changed.

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 04 May 2006]Hi,we need to resize the push-button with a bitmap depending on the cell size. In effect during the design of a screen we use a particular cell size for all controls, but in our application this value is changed depending on the screen resolution (we have 3 kind of resolution 800x600, 1024x768 and 1280x1024).The problem is that the push buttons with bitmap didn't resize automatically (for all the other controls all is OK).Can you help us.Thank's a lot.

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 03 May 2006]Many of our report programs utilize the internal sort routine in AcuGT. Our application utilizes AcuThin connected to a AIX or LINUX server. The programs are started from a main menu program and each runs in its own window which is modeless. If a user starts two programs and each requires an internal sort, the second program will fail as AcuGT currently only supports one sort per runtime.Does anyone else see this as a severe limitation to the applications they create in AcuGT?Does anyone have suggestions as to how to get around this limitation?We have considered starting a second runtime from within the application but that means potentially doubling the number of user licenses. We are currently looking at 7.2 AcuSort capabilities and/or CoSort.

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 01 March 2006]hi,I'm having a problem with a pretty old application. It is written in HPCOBOL and I'm trying to convert it to acu.The application uses a central program to show the UI, so all Information, which is in Entry-Fields or labels, is passed using one huge variable, which is defined alphanumerical.Now when I declare my Entry-Fields to use those alphanumerical variables and set the format picture to let's say Z9,9, the runtime deforms the variable.Is there any way to go that way and still use a format picture, as that is needed to validate the entered data?Thanks for any infoBest regardsDennis K?rnerExample:There is a file attached which shows the problem I have.

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 19 April 2006]I have an odd problem on one system out of many. This simple file update process returns an error 30 on my inventory master, which in this process is opened input. I have run file trace with flush, have rigged up the declarative for this file with C$RERR, and there seems to be no secondary code coming back from the OS (Windows 2000 Advanced Server with Active Directory disabled). In the trace error log immedialtely prior to the error 30 the system states (*** System Error Value = 0 ***). If I take the declarative out in an effort to see the extended error code, the process freezes and must be killed. I should point out that I run this simple process on several other systems with no problem. Any ideas?

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 07 March 2006]I created an application using acubench in which a report reads from two data files, opens a print preview pane and then allows the report to be printed from the preview pane. It works fine in the development IDE but when it is deployed using acuthin the datafile for the grid is not read and the grid is not written to. The preview pane opens with a generic web browser error page stating the "page is unavailable. The web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adust your browser settings." When I go to the program files however and open the report's .html file, the program has read and written the data to the main part of the report but has not read or written data file for the grid. Other screens in the application can open the data files and read them as well as accept input and write to them. The operating system we use is Windows. I have been researching and trying

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 05 March 2006]We use Acubench 7.0Most of our forms have grids on them. After creating a form, I read the registry to set the width of each column in the grid.This works fine, however. In the source-code, I use alot of DISPLAY FORM statements, so the column widths changes back to the original state of design.Maybe a request can be made to make the DISPLAY property of the Column Description in the Column's Setting to be variable.For now is't not variable. How can I work around this problem, not creating the grids programmaticly ?

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 28 November 2005]I remember reading a caveate that a radio button cannot be the first control on a screen. Does assigning tab order 1 to the button make it the 1st control on the screen? Is this still the rule?Switching between this screen and another repeatedly eventually cause a thin client crash in the before procedure for the button. The screen back ground, frames, status bar are displayed and the radio button group when the crash occurs.ThanksVins Nash

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 01 February 2006]I am trying to configure Acuserver on our Windows Server 2003 system to authenticate connections using the 'named pipe' option. The manual warns..." In order to use this option successfully, your client machine must have permission to connect to the named pipe that AcuServer creates. If your machine does not have permission, it may look to you as though your client runtime has hung and it may look to other users as though the server is down. Without the proper permission, the only way to resolve this situation is to kill the server using the Windows NT task manager. See your Windows system administrator for help in establishing named pipe permissions and resolving connection problems. "Well, that is exactly what is happening.
