I have thought about looking at something like the mht format (which is an all-in-one-file html file format like what you mention), but have not started to go down that track yet, since I *should* be able to figure out rtf. The client doesn't want to have to distribute a reader, which is why I am tr...

Unfortunately, for the client I am working with multiple files and having to keep stuff together would only confuse them - I've gotta figure out a single file solution (or convince them that having the output be "uneditable" is stupid, which it is...)

Found it! It's the imagesource property. Now to experiment and see if the RTF export icludes the image data.

Is there any way to insert a graphic into a field? I thought I remembered there being some way to do something like "set the image of char 1 of field myField to image "blah"" or something like that that, but after searching through the docs I cannot seem to find any reference to that functionality a...

Sorry for the delay - I ended up just writing a dirty little switch routine that hand converted from hex to binary, since there were only 16 values to deal with.

I looks like baseconvert is what I was looking for though - I will rewrite to use that.

Thansk!

I am working on a project that involves parsing some XML that includes file permission information that has been encoded using a bitmask. The bit mask has been converted into hexidecimal for inclusion in the xml files. What I would like to be able to do is read the xml file and decode the hexidecima...

It looks like I am having a similar problem, only I am working with an Oracle database through ODBC. The query buidler conencts to the dataase just fine but the list of tables never populates. I can do a "put revDatabaseTableNames(1)" in the message box and after a moment I get back a list of all th...

That did it - thanks!

On the field name, the field contains a change number from another system (that's the param I was trying to pass), and I am still in the habit of using symbols...bad habit, I know.

Yep - that worked perfectly! Thanks again!

Oh, duh. Because this is going out to the os directly Rev's auto fiddling of slashes to the correct format for the platform is not happening and I need to do it myself! Thanks!

I don't follow - assume I am very, very dense.

Looks like I am still having some issues. I used the script you suggesteed, but I get an error back form windows saying that it can't find the folder. The script I used was: get shell("start" && quote & quote && quote & the defaultFolder&"/"&chNum&"/" & quote) - I tried it both with and without the ...

I got the idea that it was possible to pass info to a stack at startup from a post here, though it was talking about the Mac. I am trying to do the same thing on Windows. Right now I have the following script at the stack level: on startup chParam if is not empty then put it into card field "ch#fiel...

Hey there, Just got 2.9 and in the bit about using Active scripting there is an example Applescript that will casue the finder to display a folder window. I would like to do exactly the same thing in windows using active script, but have not been able to find anything on the internets about the acti...
