FiveTech Software tech support forums

I am trying to become familiar with the operation of ADO in various settings.
I downloaded the working function I call below ADO_DBF() from a thread on this forum.

When I compile ADO_DBF() by itself, all menus, etc. work fine.

But when I bring ADO_DBF() in as a short version of a menuing c:\fwh\samples\Fwbrow.prg,
if I try any operation it crashes.

If oRs:close(), oCN:close() are commented out, the ADO_DBF() function works fine again.

What am I doing wrong ??

Any help
Thanks,
Bruce S.

I have tried this .prg on 2 machines

XP2002 SP3
&
W7 Home premium

A window does not wait for execution, it is not a dialog, thats why you have to keep the recordset and the connection active and open.

If I keep oRs & oCn open any operation on the Xbrowse crashes it.

What is the proper way to implement ADO_DBF() inside this menu setup ?

I have tried replacing oWnd with oDlg , don't know if that's compatible, unless I made a typo, it didn't work.

Or, should I get it all inside a define dialog.

Beginner stuff, but that's where I'm at.., stuck.

Try the following change on the ACTIVATE WINDOW statement inside func ado_dbf()

Mr anserkk,

Thank you for your reply.

That has solved my problem.

Similar to an electrical circuit with no grounding, now I make the connection.

Thanks to all,
