Markus -

That would be very helpful.
Would you allow me to include it in the samples section of the next eXpress++ release?

I finally got DBU32 working.

It required adding CLEAR TYPEAHEAD before an AChoice() in DBUUTIL.PRG.

Here's the latest.

I think it is a good idea to have a version that supports FOXCDX.
If you upload it, then it will be available to everyone.

I have a version of DBU (16 bit) that works with cdx indexes.. but no code, just the exe. It is clunkier than the ntx verson I have that is likly due to the way George, our old programmer, did things. As such, we most frequently use the ntx version and build any indexes we need on the fly (and with the 'ntx' extenson they are easy to find and delete when we are done). I would suggest that there be a menu option or command line switch, or something to choose ntx or cdx indexes.

just a thuoght......

thanks

downloaded your dbu32. played with it for about 5 minutes and it seems to work fine... thanks.

only issue i see is that screen repaints (like when scrolling thru records) are noticably slower than in the 16 bit version. perhaps that is a function of my particular system. i'll try it on others.

thanks guys....

search for INKEY() and replace it with AppEvent()

[/quote]search for INKEY() and replace it with AppEvent()[/quote]

Tried replacing Inkey(x) with Appevent(,,,100x) (which appears to be the correct syntax according to alaska help file as inkey works in seconds and appevent in .01sec intervals). didn't work at all. Then tried just replacing inkey(0) with appevent().. no change.

What am I doing wrong?
