Combo control

We need to improve the way we find records in a table and select them to fill in a field on a form. Ideally we are looking for a 'combo' type control with 'Google type' functionality. i.e. after the user clicks-on (or tabs-into) a field and starts typing, the characters entered are used to look for ...

Re: SQLite3

Hi John The issue is about finding an embedded (file based) SQL datastore that will scale up to a SQL service, which will a) require a minimum of code changes in XBase++ to implement b) is affordable to support and distribute Our goal is to enable our XBase++ client application to scale the same way...

Re: DBF record Delete flag

Richard The problem manifests itself on sequential DELETE() on many records. In our case transactions like cancel a 'split' receipt. This transaction has a header plus one to 100's of sub-item records. It does not happen all the time, just often enough to be highly irritating! ... so I guess it may ...

DBF record Delete flag

Hi all We have been having all sorts of reliability problems with our XBase++ application. More specifically transactions failing to write reliably into DBF tables. Some time ago we began to suspect that the delete flag function in the Alaska RDD is 'flakey' so added code that attempted to check if ...

Re: SQLite3

Hi Pablo Clearly you have done a lot more than most on the SQLite connector. I would be interested in your view as to how much work is needed to get a dll that is capable of reading/writing core transactions to SQLite. Nothing too clever, just the basics. Also, I can see the ot4xb.dll read data from...

Re: SQLite3

Hi All The reason we are looking for some way to connect our XBase application to SQLite is because we are (still) writing rich client applications and distributing/installing them using downloaded MSI packages. We have 2500 instances running in UK schools today and could supply 10 times that number...
