In the latest version it reports as the exit status the result of itself or the last internal exit status, such as to a file rename or other call.Brad

All of the AcuODBC files get installed, but the AcuODBC Driver does not appear in the ODBC Data Source Administrator.I manually went into the Windows registry and created an AcuODBC Driver key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\ODBC\\ODBCINST.INI. I created all of the values that should be under the AcuODBC Driver key as well. I also created an ACUODBC DRIVER value under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\ODBC\\ODBCINST.INI\\ODBC Drivers with the value of "Installed". Manually creating these keys and values made the AcuODBC Driver available in the ODBC Data Source Administrator. However, when I try to create a DSN, I get this error: "The se

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 19 October 2006]We are running THIN Client (release 6.2.0) on LINUX. Our application allows multiple sessions to be accessed of the same application program that has 2 major screens that the user can use ALT/xx keys to switch back and forth between. One of our screens is executed as an event of a button of the other. Our users have been complaining that they see the 2nd screen from one thread in the other thread. While trying to investigate this problem, I noticed that when I click on the windows tasbar icons of one screen, it will, after some clicking back and forth, begin to show the wrong associated threads. Yet when I use ALT/TAB to move between the taskbar icons, it consistantly works fine.(1) Is this a known problem with AcuCobol thin client?(2) Is there any code anyone knows of where i can ensure that the taskbar click is ALWAYS associated with the thread it is supposed to be associated with?

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 25 January 2007]I want to retrieve the name of the default email client (just the name, I don't want to actually launch it) found in the registry at:HKLM\\Software\\Clients\\MailSo I have the following call:CALL "REG_QUERY_VALUE" USING HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Q-RESULT, Q-RESULT-SIZE, Q-SUBKEY GIVING Q-STATUS.But I think it's trying to bring back every entry under that subkey, because I get a status of 234 which means that the result is too large for Q-RESULT. Is there a way to only get the (Default) data value (i.e. "Outlook Express" in this case)? Or do I have to somehow enumerate the results?

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 09 November 2006]Hi,OK, we have a program in our application which has the ability to allow a user to click a button using an event procedure, it uses event because I don't want the after procedure to trigger etc.Now, because we make use of multi threading, this button pushing has the potential to allow the user to be in another program, but get back to the start and press the same button again.If upon pressing the button I modify the screen's VISIBLE control to FALSE, then when he eventually realizes that he has to close something down to get back modify it back to TRUE is it likely to cause me any grief.It seems to work a treat, but does the modifying cause lots of network traffic etc?I also do it in another place in the same program which does indeed tidy things up greatly from the users graphical view of what they can see.Thanks,Shaun

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 16 June 2006]We have found a strange issue and were wondering if anyone else has seen this. When we have a Web-Browser on a screen the Alt keys begin to work strangly. In our normal screens you press and hold the ALT key and then the selected option (ex. ALT-X to exit). We have a screen that shows a web-browser that has info passed to it with two addresses showing the driving directions between the two. When the user is on this screen they have to press ALT then X to exit (as two seperate strokes), holding the ALT and pressing the X will do nothing.Thanks for any info.

I don't want to take up a lot of room in the forum so will give only a brief description here. You may call me for more info. The software is written in ACOCOBOL and aimed at the Property Management market (Timeshare Resorts, Member and Private Campgrounds, Hotels/Motels, Condos, Land sales and Bread and Breakfasts). The entire package is made up of seven modules - Sales/Marketing/Tour Tracking, Reservations/Rentals, Fees/Taxes Receivable, Contracts/Notes Receivable, Accounts Payable, General Ledger and Payroll. I believe I have the only package that offers all of these.Please contact me, Keith Wetzel, at 850-230-0909 for more information. Thanks.

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 24 July 2006]We have a system that has multiple windows for users to enter data. We have a menu item on one of those windows that allows the user to pass value from the screen to a page that has a browser on it to do address verification. Our issue is that some of the sites require logins & passwords. Is there a way to have a window be active at all times and not have control? This would keep the user from having to enter login & passwords when they need the same page over and over again. We would still like to have the ability to pass values to it and refress the info on the screen also, if the user selects a different page than the one listed.Thanks for ANY help.

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 25 May 2006]Hi all. I need to write a unix script which will run conversion programs without user intereaction.I'm planning on creating one routine which will handle file size/available disk space checking, run the conversion, then check for errors. This will allow me to use it generically by calling it from other functions that would tell it the file, program, and whether it is a vision file or not.1. What is the best way to tell if a file is a vision file or not. I'd like to be able to log/fail gracefully if a file is supposed to be a vision file and it's not.2. What is the best way to get the full disk space requirements (data index segments)? The best thing I've been able to come up with is redirecting the output of the vutil command and striping it out of there.All of this is going to be done from a ksh shell script.Thanks for any thoughts,brad

[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
