I know that is not the answer you want. But beyond dns, html and non-encrypted ftp, there's no build in protocols for rev (tho there's third party additions for email stuff).

I wasn't sure if Rev supported it in a library or what. Since it doesn't, I can code what I need easy enough in Perl and ...

Does Revolution support LDAP or Active Directory queries yet? If so, would someone post an example? If not, what's an example of a usable work around?

thanks.

Argh! Me thinks the simplicity of the language is givin' me scurvy!

Thank you so much. That makes a lot of sense.

Here's the process I used:

I drag an image area from the Tool bar to my card.
I load up the Property Inspector for the Image Area
Basic Properties -> Source, Click on the folder icon and select an area to which to link
Select Open, file selection window goes away
aaaaaaaaaand nothing

BUT ...

I've just encountered a strange problem. Of course, it may not be strange to others but to this newb it is strange. I can create a new stack, drop an image area onto it, assign an image, etc and it all works. But, if I try to do it with my existing card, I just get a gray box with no image. Is there ...

Is there a way to check for file or directory existence prior to loading/reading/deleting/etc? I'd rather not shell out to an external command just for this. I can't find anything on this topic either in the docs or on the internet.

Thanks.

Is it possible to set an image as the background image in a scrolling text field? Something akin to a watermark or a non-repeating fill pattern.

Hope that makes sense.
