Thanks all To answer your questions about "why". I'm building an e-forms app (for my first paying client). Up until a week ago all of my data validation only considered the single field being entered. 1) I stored validation logic in as a custom property of the field. For example - Set the ValRule1 o...

Thanks Craig and Richard. Yes - the evaluation of the IF statement, which will test the CONDITION that I store as a custom property, is triggered by the user exiting the field. I'll have another try with this over the next couple of days and get back to you with the results. As you have rightly gues...

Hi Craig Thanks for your reply. What I want to do is store field validation logic in the field (and not in script). To this end - I want to (1) store the CONDITION component of an IF statement as a custom property of the field. I want to store the text of the condition (e.g. ">=5"), not the result o...

I'm wanting to store the input validation logic for a field, as a custom property of that field. For example - Set the MyTestCondition of field "ABC" to Field "ABC" >=5 then return true else return false (mucking around with quote marks abridged) - If MyTestCondition of field "ABC" then doOption1 el...

Just in case anyone else finds themselves at this post because they made the same rookie mistake as me. 1) I copied my standalone's .exe file; and 2) Pasted it onto my desktop When I ran the .exe file from my desktop, I got the "failed to load external" error message. When I replaced step 2 with "Pa...

On Android 5.0.1, using "mobileComposeMail tSubject,,,,tEmailBody, tAttachment": - did NOT work if tAttachment was located in specialFolderPath("documents"). The email, with attachment, was composed. Gmail could clearly "see" the attachment, because it correctly told me what size the attachment was....

Hi FYI With a sample size of one (Android 5.01) test device: - I couldn't get specialFolderPath("external documents") to work. This evaluated to "/storage/emulated/0/android/data/myappname/files", which wasn't the Download folder; but - after a fair bit of experimentation I got "/mnt/sdcard/Download...

Thanks Jacque & Sparkout

I've ended up having to debug another problem today, but I'll try your suggestions on Monday.

Hi The scenario that I'm trying to address is, on Android: 1) User A emails a data file to user B 2) Within their email programme, User B selects the option to "download" the data file The data file is now sitting in a "Download" folder of user B's Android device. I know that, in general, Android ri...

Hi AxWald True - I'll revise my statement - Other than a "Hello World" VB script which I wrote as a test after reading the above responses to my original post, I've never worked with calling another programme from LC. The thing that put me off MailAlert was that it seemed to me that this solution wo...

Thanks all I will follow-up on the Powershell option. I've never worked with calling another programme from LC before. My understanding of what I will need to do is: 1) Use a tool like PS2EXE-GUI to create a PowerShell standalone executable, that accepts arguments (e.g. email attachment file name) 2...

Hi I'm hoping to get some advice on which Livecode email solution to use within an app which I'm developing. Requirements: - must work on Windows desktop, Android & IOS mobile; but - if that's what's required - I am happy to use MobileComposeMail for Android & IOS, and something else for Windows des...

I went for a long walk on the beach and worked it out. To fix my missing SQLite db problem I had to: - Go into Standalone App settings > Copy Files & remove the existing database file; then - Go into Standalone App settings > Copy Files & add the database file back again. This had the effect of chan...

I've got an app, which I want to run on Windows+Android+IOS, to which I want to pass a pre-populated SQLite db. On PreOpenStack ... If the environment = "development" then Put specialFolderPath("desktop") & "/TSER_Docs" into ggDocumentsFolder Put specialFolderPath("desktop") & "/TSER_Temp" into ggTe...

Seems to be a problem again. I'm currently developing a LC app, and my local Avast software just told me that it had quarantined my app because it contained the WIN32:Xpaj-Gen virus. This wasn't happening yesterday. Avast must have updated something.
