Please, open the same table (with different alias) in both browses. Then put, in both dialogs, a button in the buttonbar with this action

ACTION MSGINFO( FIELD -> first )

From which workarea (1 or 2) it will read the field value?

This is a sample of one of the problems:

- click on New TAB
- click on New TAB again
- the first browser no more work (try to change the selected record)

Code: Select all

#include "Fivewin.ch"


FUNCTION MAIN()

    LOCAL oWnd

    DEFINE WINDOW oWnd

    DEFINE BUTTONBAR SIZE 80, 40 OF oWnd 2007

    DEFINE BUTTON;
           OF oWnd:oBar;
           PROMPT "New TAB" CENTER;
           ACTION CREATEBRW()

    ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd

    RETURN NIL


STATIC FUNCTION CREATEBRW()

    LOCAL oDlg, oBrw

    USE CUSTOMER ALIAS ( CGETNEWALIAS() ) SHARED

    DEFINE DIALOG oDlg

    @ 0, 0 XBROWSE oBrw ALIAS ALIAS()

    oBrw:CreateFromCode()

    ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg;
             ON INIT oBrw:AdjClient();
             VALID ( DBCLOSEAREA( oBrw:cAlias ), .T. );
             NOMODAL

    RETURN NIL

you are newbie ?
and since when are you a newbie?
I really tried to understand and until you created the test sample I kept understanding that what I understood was not the problem you said you had because I really didn't think I could make a beginner mistake, I didn't believe it possible and now that you have made us share in your mistake I still do not believe it !!!

You can also avoid these kinds of problems by using database objects. Every database object creates its own unique workarea and handles it internally. Thus you never have to deal with workareas.

I not understood, explain us
I don't want to advertise because James Bott doesn't need it but system 'Bott is usefull, although I have not yet understood all the possibilities,
for example for a Daniel Garcia class ( tplan) there are big problems, but for all prg (do for example or a billing and accounting system)
it is an excellent system, then of course there are limitations but since it is a class ( from nother) the limitations come from the parent class
there are many people who use it without problems
