As Otto suggests, one can create a database to handle all of it. Uniformity in coding would be enabled and a big plus ... but it would take some work. I would suggest a multi folder approach. On the main menu you could select a section, like Customer, Inventory, Invoices, etc. Then you can have a de...

Otto, The Oasis had many excellent tools we could use with our programming, including formatting and documenting programs. They ran automatically on a .prg file and did an awesome job. However, they were all 16 bit. I have UE Studio which can do some of that work. However, in the early Clipper days,...

Each of my .prg files ( and there are many in the application ) has a name that references what they do. So, mCustomer has a customer class, sub=classes, and functions that all relate to handling customers. If I ever have a problem related to the customer information, I know to go to that one file. ...

Otto, As the years stretch on, I have not kept my "documentation" current ... and when I get time I likely will update it. I'm sure a tool can be great, but there are so many projects for me to tackle so I haven't gone down that road. In the old Clipper days, we used to have many documenti...

In earlier days, I put in an extended comment section at the top of each .prg file. In it I listed Functions, Commands, Classes, Methods, and Variables. I would define each one. /* SOURCE. abc.prg USES DBFs. account.dbf, client.dbf CLASSES FUNCTIONS COMMANDS VARIABLES */ Using Classes, however, put ...

I often find the need to take notes, and then look back on them perhaps months ( years ) later. I also wanted to keep track of my databases ( file name, indexes, fields, structure, and purpose of each one ). I decided to use OneNote from Microsoft because it can work across all devices. You can do e...

RESOLVED

My error. I have one variable I'm tracking, which I report in the customized error log, and it wasn't in the sub-version of the program. Thus it was causing the errsysw.prg to error within itself.

All is good now ...

I'm overlooking something, but perhaps you can refresh my memory. Using FWH, Harbour, and Visual Studio Community. In my main application, I include errsysw.prg and it works perfectly when an error occurs. I have a subset of my program, using many of the exact same files from the same source directo...

I'm working with some legacy code orignially developed with xHarbour. The AT() function in xHarbour has this syntax: At( <cSearch>, <cString>, [<nStart>], [<nEnd>] ) --> nPos Using Harbour, AT() only supports the first two parameters and will error if the nStart is specified. Is there an alternative...

Thank you ... I will work with that. I found an interesting problem when I hardcoded the path into the program for testing. This may prove helpful to others who read this thread. When Quickbooks sets up a company, it puts it by default in the PUBLIC\Public Documents\Intuit\Quickbooks\ Company Files ...

Years ago I successfully used FWH and xHarbour to build a link between my application and Quickbooks. To do this I had to use the following code to initialize QB connectivity setup: FUNCTION QBInit    LOCAL cQBFile := " "    LOCAL nHandle, oConfig, oQb, oSetupResponse    IF MsgNoYes( "...

I realize why the error is occoruing ... I will try a different post regarding the issue.

My question was to find a different way to just get the file name, not to open it.

A quick question: Consider the following line of code: cQBFile := cGetFile( "QuickBooks|*.QBW", "Select your Quick Books Company file") In the past it would give me the link to the file. Something changed ( likely in Windows ). However, Windows pops up a box that informs me the f...

Antonio, In this previous thread. you mentioned putting the new work on the Easy Report Generator into this distribution so we could begin testing it and providing feedback: .http://forums.fivetechsupport.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=39880 I do not see that in the notes. Did it get included ? If not,...

Moises,

Sorry for the delay ... I run Win 10 using Parallels on an iMac and once again it has "gone down" due to an error ... and it takes the system days to fix itself.

I'll give the example when I get access again.
