Hi - Spreadlib natively reads and writes. Excel is not needed. You can download and use the free trial at http://livecodeaddons.com/spreadlib.html (Recently eSellerate/Digital River went downhill, so I'm forwarding my store link to LC's Addon store, but their store does not have Spreadlib.) I'll get...

Death of eSellerate (48-hour, 50%-off) REBIRTH Sale Due to the untimely, or at least inconvenient, demise of an old electronic friend (eSellerate) as a separate entity, I have migrated the addon store to its parent company (Digital River) and updated the store links on the livecodeaddons.com web sit...

The dgHilitedLines was empty, so theDataA also empty.

Turning on row autohilite for the datagrid, it works.

(But datagrids are not always the easiest solution for some tasks.)

No need for parentheses in the SELECT statement! Put single quotes instead of those parentheses. And revDataFromQuery needs a couple of commas before the DB ID - see Dictionary, those delimiter values are optional but the commas are not. It's unusual to SELECT UserName WHERE UserName; depending on y...

Klaus - no worries. Always glad to have your input! Thanks again. Quentin - You've probably already seen this page, but it can be a handy shared reference point: http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4071/l/7003-connecting-to-a-mysql-database About one-fourth down the page: put "Table1" into tTableName put ...

Quinton - you can concatenate the contents of your variables with the overall text of your SQL statement. For MySQL, you also have to include single quotes around contents for the columns that are NOT numbers and vice versa! The ampersand symbol is your friend here to build the statement. I have an ...

Klaus, it did look almost like stalking, and maybe not the best reflection of your semi-moderator status here, in my opinion. Notice that your comment was off-topic, and also an attempt to divert or control my personal activities. I can't post something if you feel that I should be concentrating on ...

Klaus old boy, I don't love being stalked when I offer help in the forum. Shouldn't you be happy to see me here? It's all connected. Helping people and conducting all of my various work allows me to fund other work, including - you guessed it - updating FieldTrip for LiveCode changes and OS changes ...

I would be happy to tutor you on these issues - contact me if you still need help.

A Tower Defense game is a great LiveCode project. You could use graphics (I mean the LC control type) to make paths or roads for enemies to follow, and transparent buttons with images for the characters. Buttons (transparent or not) could be used for the tower buttons. Then you add movements, timing...

Are you ready to export Word documents from LiveCode? If you've ever used WordLib, this is just the reverse. Issue a one-liner (wordout "field myDocument") and the contents of a LiveCode field become an MS Word file! That's it, you're done. WordOut doesn't rely on Microsoft or any other product to w...

Howdy Folks, I'm happy to announce a new version of WordLib! Ready for extreme imports? It's time for total document domination. WordLib 2.0 brings serious attitude to your word processing imports with a bevy of new MS Word formatting features (such as paragraph alignment, line spacing, borders, com...

Same problem here. Uninstall JDK 7, install JDK 6, save standalone and let LiveCode sign it; works. Thanks for this tip!

Howdy,

You might want to email me your stack or one with the relevant card containing your import field! I'll have a look tomorrow. (Bedtime!)

Best,

Curry K.
