    setting a value on parent window when opening a pop-up

    Hello, I searched the FAQ's and found a similar problem (thread216-7131253) but couldn't get it to work for me. I am trying to set the value of one hidden field ("optionsChanged") as part of a function that also stores the values of all the fields on the form in a cookie prior to...

    Capture file corruption?

    Knob: To answer your last question, "Are all capture files during the script run showing this problem, or just certain files at certain times?", this only happens when the capture files are large (as mentioned earlier). KentIsland: Thanks for the input. I looked into this, and we...

    Capture file corruption?

    Hi Knob, Yes, we are using a script (sorry, I should have mentioned that earlier). The capture file is not opened and closed repeatedly, however, the script turns capture on and off anywhere from 2 to 4 times within the script (depending on how many reports we need to run). This is because...

    Capture file corruption?

    We are having a problem with the capture process in ProComm, and I'm wondering if anyone has heard of this before. We use ProComm to dial and login to a remote system, then run a report, capturing the data from the report. This works well with the exception of when the file is particularly...

    Need exact syntax for command line option

    Thanks, that worked. The help file indicated that the connection directory should be in quotes as well, which is where I had trouble. (Although it also refers to PW4 so it is clearly outdated).

    Need exact syntax for command line option

    The help files indicate: "You can launch Procomm Plus with the PW4 command line parameter. In addition, you can include command line arguments which control how Procomm Plus behaves once it is launched....The PW4 command line parameter always follows this form: PW4 [argument] [argument]...

    Error reading/writing Connection Directory

    Well, I changed the connection directory to point to PW5.dir on the machine where our app is running. This is an empty directory; it has never been used. Things were fine for a day (we saw no similar errors) but this morning we got the "error reading file" on PW5.dir. Any thoughts...

    Error reading/writing Connection Directory

    I can appreciate the potential problems of accessing the connection directory across the network, but I still wonder why we never experienced this problem until a week or so ago, and now we get it constantly.

    Error reading/writing Connection Directory

    Knob, Thanks for the info. That's what I was trying to find out -- if ProComm was accessing the connection dir on launch. That explains part of the problem, but why it is failing in its attempt is still an issue. The connection directory being referenced is not the default(PW5.DIR) but a...

    Error reading/writing Connection Directory

    I do have the source for my script; I helped write it. That is how I know it isn't relying upon the Connection Directory in any way. Thanks for the thought on the Sys Admin -- come to think of it our guy did an upgrade to both computers on which this problem is occurring. Because we are...

    Error reading/writing Connection Directory

    We have recently begun experiencing a problem upon launch of ProComm, where we get various errors, all which reference our connection directory: Error writing to File... Error reading File... Error allocating memory for... The problem is that we are NOT USING the connection directory when...

    Pausechar

    Can anyone explain to me what the impact is of changing pausechar from the default (tilde)? ProComm help files indicate it should not be changed "unless you have a specific reason to do so". What reasons are there for changing this? I have inherited code that creates an aspect...

    Windows Telephony Warning

    It's interesting that you had to restart Windows. We've found that the problem does clear itself up eventually. There seems to be some amount of time (we have been unable to pinpoint a specific length) whereby if we tell our app not to use that modem, then reinstate it a while later, the...

    Windows Telephony Warning

    I will add the pause 15 as you recommend. Do you know what error is returned by ProComm under this circumstance? I'm assuming I can trap it with $CNCTMSG... Have there been any updates to v4.8? Thanks much for all your help.

    Windows Telephony Warning

    As a matter of fact ProComm is opened and closed repeatedly, and I have seen the behavior you mention with the globe icons in the system tray not going away. In fact this seems to happen quite frequently. They disappear if you move the mouse over them. The script being run closes ProComm as...

    Windows Telephony Warning

    Thanks knob. I will definitely update the modem drivers. In my case, the previous program to have accessed the modem would would be ProComm itself. Our app launches multiple instances of ProComm, waiting for a free modem before launching another ProComm and running the script. When this...

    Windows Telephony Warning

    I guess I didn't describe the problem correctly. The modem is not in use, but ProComm thinks it is. I was thinking this might be a known bug in ProComm, but it is more likely a modem issue. Thanks anyway!

    Windows Telephony Warning

    We frequently get the following Windows Telephony Warning: "The requested connection is in use by another application. ProComm Plus is unable to use this connection." The modem ProComm is attempting to use is NOT in use at the time. I'm trying to find out what error is returned to...
