I want to scroll a field as I am adding data to it so that it always shows the last items added. I've tried using the vscroll command but the pixels change as the field gets more data added. I know there will be simple solution. Anyone care to enlighten me?

I'm currently writing to the data stack each time the application stack is closed and reading each time it is opened. I guess I could change it so the data is downloaded in realtime. If I were to do that what would be the best way of limiting access. You are talking to a novice!

I have a little Customer Relationship Management application up and running now. I'm using another stack as the database as there are some politcal reasons not to use a proper one! There are only three of us using the application which I have running on a shared drive. Is there a way I can limit acc...

Thank you

I'm using a stack with a field on each card as a simple database. How much information can realistically be held in each field? I'll have to look at some way of saving the data to somewhere else and for varoius reasons I can't use a proper database at this point in time.

Gee. That was quick. I get a dialogue box headed up Cannot delete "XXXXXXX" : Access is denied the body of the dialogue box says: make sure the disc is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently being used. I have deleted the shortcuts from all our disk tops and the applications ...

I have just done an update on my application which I have located on a shared drive at work. 3 people have access to it and I had put a shortcut to their desk tops. All has wroked well but I find that I can't delete the old version! Would this have something to do with the desk top links? As I will ...

Thanks Klaus. I don't actually understand what you mean. What would the syntax be? I have the application and the data file in the same folder on our S: drive which is a publically accessible drive.
Kind regards, Glenn

Hi Klaus

No I'm not sure. I'll try you script. how do you set up write permission? it works fine prior to me saving the main stack as a astand alone.
