Hi- I guess what I'm trying to ask is: can I replace server side java code with rev code. Presently my webserver is serving pages in HTML with embedded java code. The browser renders the HTML and executes the java code which uses the tomcat server to connect to the mysql database. I don't like maint...

I would like to be able to access an existing mysql database via a webrowser but be able to replace the java controls with rev controls. This is mainly for 2 reasons. To make maintenance easier and to allow a nicer user interface. The reason to keep the browser is that some forms to be printed are s...

Hi - I have an existing application written in Java that uses Tomcat to serve webpages and interact with a Mysql database. The user interface is not that great and rather than rewriting in html and java, I was exploring using Rev to serve the webpages, so i could gradually convert the interface to r...

Hi Ibe
Have you done any more development on your calendar app?

Thanks - knew it had to be that simple and somewhere in the docs.

Hi - I'm somewhat embarrassed to ask this but I'm having problems finding this in the docs. Is there a function similar to "leftstring" in other languages that will return the specified contents of a string. Such as if x="123456" then leftstring(x,3) would return "123" I know I could probably use fi...

Thanks Ibe. Very much appreciated.

Hi Ibe. I have been trying to implement an ical-like calendar using both your method and a datagrid but I am not entirely happy with the results. Any chance you could post your calendar stack so I could learn from it ?
Thanks

Hi - no luck with S&R.
I'll have to start over - good way to learn revolution.

It churned for a while then gave another error - tried a few times and the filesize was not increasing. I will try again and see if it finally gets to the end of file.
Thanks

Yes - split and recover failed with an error about being unable to delete a protected card in the destination stack - I ran a script to unprotect all the cards but that didn't help. Since revolution wants data to be stored externally (unlike HC) I was going to do a rewrite anyways - At least my data...

Well - no luck trying to get the stack imported - doesn't seem to be corrupted and anything over 100 cards dies. I have exported my data as an xml file so I might as well rewrite from scratch. As a side note - I want to implement a calendar with a visual interface similar to ical - I looked a datagr...

Hi I'm trying to convert a HyperCard stack that contains 20,000 cards. Rev crashes trying to open it. If I split the stack down to 100 cards it works fine. Is there a limit to the number of cards a stack can have in revolution? I have tried the obvious such as compacting, searching for corrupt or bl...

I'll give applescript a try. What I wanted to do was build a patient database that stores medical records, tests, forms, billing info, but also be able to schedule appointments and send emails. I could do it all in a mysql database but was hopeful I could skip the calendaring portion as I have alway...
