Welcome power-users and I.T. professionals! Our groups oriented community is for managers, users, and I.T. professionals. It is coded by me and I am constantly adding features.My goal is to provide the features you need to participate and find help. My hope is that you will hang your technical hat at PrestwoodBoards. We even offer free back-links for your company or website! I believe I understand what you want and need in an online tech community. If you have a suggestion, please contact me.
Hi Daniel,
I've seen some of your posts before, but thanks for the intro. My experience isn't unlike yours. Before Delphi, I was coding mostly in C and C++; also client-server systems.
I attended a show in San Francisco where Borland was handing out pre-release disks of Delphi 1. I installed it and started playing. I wasn't eager to learn a new language, but once I saw the power of Delphi's RAD environment, and OOP without pointers galore, I never looked. Seriously. I haven't written a line of C or C++ since.
Delphi's been very good to me. Times change, though, and we're getting more and more calls for Web applications, so I'm now deep into Visual Studio and .NET. There's much to like about this newer technology, but Delphi still feels like "home."

Trying create push button form for query. coding below:
I get an error. Highlighting the line:
sStock = Enter_UNIT.value
Any assistance as to where my error is would be appreciated.
method pushButton(var eventInfo Event), var, sStock String, qryFhistory Query, tvAnswer TableView, endVar
sStock = Enter_UNIT.value
qryFhistory = Query
ANSWER: :PRIV:ANSWER.DB
FLEET.UTILIZATION.db | MODEL | UNIT | SERIAL NUMBER |, | Check | ..~sStock.. | Check |
EndQuery
executeQBE(qryFhistory), tvAnswer.open(":priv:answer.db"), endmethod
Note to Hendrix: You and may others are in the same boat. I have found a few programs which claim to be able to extract object as well as text data, but none have succeeded.
Tony McGuire was developing this solution for graphics, which he concluded were stored in binary files onhttp://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1189318 I haven't gave it a quick run for documents, but I didn't have time to play with it.
var, tc tcursor, img image, bn binary, endvar, , tc.open(":alias:images.db"), scan tc :, img=tc."fieldname" ; field containing graphic, img.writetofile("path\\imagename.ext") ; .ext likely .jpg/.gif/.etc, endscan, tc.close()
Another clever Mac User suggested this work around:

Mike Prestwood, if you are addressing the issue, I too would like to hear about it.
I found Prestwood several years ago but I never introduced myself.My name is Daniel and I've been coding in Delphi on and off, but mostly on, since 1997. At the time, COBOL and BASIC was what I was coding in a client-server environment, before most people even knew what nTier architecture meant. Heck I didn't know, but was doing it.Someone in another department came up to me, presumably after seeking permission from my manager, and asked if I knew Delphi. I said, knew what? Having never heard of Delphi I said no, but was anxious to do something new, so I was transferred to the other department.I didn't what the future was for Delphi and it wasn't to be a .Net, however, Delphi has found me and paid me well over the past decade point five.Take care and talk to you later.
Post the QBE. Try to cut and paste it -- don't retype it. Also, describe the structures of the tables referenced by the QBE. Include validity constraints and secondary indices.

Awesome Don. Thanks for posting. I have no clue regarding your missing data. I have never heard of Windows deleting personal data. Have you tried an undelete program? It might be interesting to see what turns up when it scans your HD.
By the way, welcome!
