Yes this is possible.

But you may not want open access through the internet for security reasons.

That is a very good point. I just learned something new again.

Thanks again.

Here is a real example I use in an import. revExecuteSQL gConID, "begin;" repeat for each line aLine in tAllRtnums put aline into tdata put char 1 to 9 of tdata into trtnum put char 10 of tdata into toffcd -- Insert the data into the table revExecuteSQL gConID, tSQL, "trtnum", "toffcd" end repeat re...

Jan:

You are 100% correct. More options show up in the reader than windows explorer. So all is good.

Well the option keys Author , Title, and Subject seem to work in Windows XP when printing to a pdf. The keys are visible when you hover over the file name with the mouse pointer. I did not think the keys worked because I was looking for them in the file properties dialog. These same values in the fi...

Thank you Jan I will look into the Quartam PDF Library.

The issue with the option keys still stands. I will try setting all the keys to see if that is the issue. My test only set a few of the option keys so I will report after another try.

Thank you for the suggestion but that did not work. But I played with your code below and discovered that I was setting the margins after opening the print to pdf. Once I moved the code below to manage the setting before opening the print channel everything worked as expected. No blank page. So basi...

This seems like a great new feature. I found two issues so far: 1) Using a stack for a page layout I can control the text placement pretty well, but I get a blank page #1 before the page I am actually printing to the pdf file. So it always produces 2 pages if the first one is full. 2) I tried settin...

No I did not. I really do not understand the proper use of the SSL & encryption library.

So I do not know where to start. I looked at a couple of SMTP libraries but I do not know how to apply the SSL to them.

I was wanting to use Sarah's SMTP Library to write an application to send emails with gmail or yahoo mail. But it seems that both services use SSL and special ports.

Does any one have any examples to follow to use the SSL SMTP ports of these services?

Yes that seems to do the trick.

Thank you for the timely response.

Have a great holiday.

I wanted to write a small server to share some data. So I was trying to find a listen function to wait for a connection request. Does one of these exist in runrev? I wonder how you could write a P2P client to client without a listen function. Maybe there is an external available for this. Any info i...

oliverk:

Thank you for the good information. It is very important to know how externals are put to use.

Happy Holidays!

OK I finally got it working. I had "on preopenstack" in the stack script and the card script. Once they were eliminated then the openstack script called the opendb and all is well. It seems as though if the database connect script is in any "on preopenstack" the script gets set aside and produces no...

Ok I moved the script to openstack and it still does not work. Also I tried calling the opendb from a script in a button after everything is loaded and it still does not work. While making the standalone the database externals are loaded so I have no idea as to why the script refuses to execute and ...
