pdox8-when using the button tool, the app code option for opening apps doesn't show fields after a selection has been made. Is it a bug with a fix? And does anyone know how to clear the contents of an undefined table frame embedded in a form, excluding the header? Its used for a packing list that needs to be cleared and reused do to more units than space on the tableframe. And if+not=? I know how to use it and make it work but don't understand the logic when coding the objects. Any feedback would be appreciated.

proengtek,

I'm afraid I don't currently have Paradox 8 installed, but there was a service pack provided. You can find it at

http://www.corel.com/support/ftpsite/pub/paradox/paradox8/index.htm.

As far as the undefined table frame goes, remember that table frames in Paradox are not designed as standalone objects; they're best used in conjunction with a table.

I'd probably use a temporary table to collect the information form the user. that done, you can empty the table frame using something along these lines:

var
   uiTarget  uiObject
endVar

   uiTarget.attach( "TableFrame1" )
   uiTarget.empty()

Remember, Paradox is first and foremost a database package, not a general purpose programming tool. Thus, instead of trying to get data into the objects, you generally need to get data into tables bound to those objects.

hope this helps...
