G'day, and thank you Simon for the reSizer script. I've written a stack that I wanted to run on 11", 13", & 15" notebooks, at 610 x 800, and also on an iPad at 768 x 800, so I had to re-write the reSizer so it only shrank vertically if on a smaller notebook, but resized horizontally on an iPad. Also...

G'day I've found the mergExt site, and purchased the mergDoc extension. However, I have some questions about it. I can't yet test it's output, as I'm only running on the simulator, but... 1. How can I change the output PDF's from the name 'test.pdf'. 2. Is my code below correct? (the included exampl...

G'day coders I've got a project that's working fine on mac OS, but am trying to get it to work on iOS (iPad). Everything's OK except for printing on the simulator. Before I pay to enable it to be run on an actual iPad, I have two questions. 1. Can a PDF be created of a given card, and sent by email?...

Thanks Klaus, now I understand. I had been reading the SQLite site blurb that said you could use a data base name, then a full stop, then a table name. My final code is this... #set up variables etc, then, put true into transferFlag put empty into errormessage # GET THE MATCHING DATA get revDataFrom...

Note: if I leave the single quotes off the DataBase name, i get an 'Error near "." ' With the quotes, the error is 'No such table: runrevPDQuoteTemp.sqlite.Jobs_Calculations' I've checked, and the database and table definitely exist. The tSQL code for my efforts is... INSERT INTO 'runrevPDQuoteTemp....

Well, I've worked out that I need to address the data bases by name, but struck a further problem. Because the database names end in .sqlite then the code throws a 'no table of that name' error. I've tried enclosing the name in single and double quotes, without success. Anyone able to advise me of t...

Thanks Klaus, but darn, this is difficult! I cannot get the Id of the database to work. I get a syntax error near 87. Heres the tSQL code INSERT INTO 87 Jobs_Calculations ( jobcard, word3ofcard, word4ofcard, jobdescription, jobdate, squares, meterssquared, cost1, cost2, cost3, cost4, squaresrate, su...

To elaborate. I have a series of data bases, based on years. runRevPDQuote2013, runRevPDQuote2014, runRevPDQuote2015, etc I need to copy records from any one of these that's currently in use, and copy those records to any of the other data bases. They all have the same tables, and column headers, bu...

G'day Klaus That partly worked, but it added the records into the same data base. I need it to point to a different data base, that's why I added the paths. Something like ... put "INSERT INTO" && "runrevPDQuote" & label of button "Transfer List" &".sqlite" &" "& stackName && "(" into tSQL Which doe...

Thanks Klaus. I tried Answer tSQL but with my limited knowledge could not see anything wrong. Here's the tSQL string INSERT INTO /Users/ozsanta/Documents/runrevPDQuote2015.sqlite..Jobs_Calculations ( jobcard, word3ofcard, word4ofcard, jobdescription, jobdate, squares, meterssquared, cost1, cost2, co...

G'day I've got a series of yearly data bases that I'm trying to transfer records between. However, I get a 'near "/": syntax error', which I cannot resolve. My code is below. Any suggestions please? Regards Santa on dbTransferJob if stackName = empty then put "Jobs_Calculations" into stackName end i...

G'day all

Thanks for the short version of the menupick handler Klaus, I hadn't realized that multiple cases could be used before each break.

No, I DON'T think my menuStack handler is a problem, it works flawlessly once you use 'About...' with 3 full stops.

Santa

It's OK. I had reverted everything back to the LC default font, and it simply refuses to print larger sizes. I've swapped to Time New Roman, to make it compatible with windows, and now it's fine.

G'day I've pretty much finished a set of stacks for a painter & decorator friend, and the pages print ok on my Epson inkjet printer and Fuji Xerox laser, but when I tried the stack on my friends new all-in-one Brother commercial inkjet, the large header font only printed very small (about 16 point),...

G'day all I believe I've partly solved the problem, Someone, in their infinite wisdom, has replaced the normal Ellipsis with three full stops in LiveCodes 'About…' menu . I tried Klaus's suggestion of putting in an 'answer pItemName' and it trapped 'About...', however on using this... on menuPick pI...
