HCreation

Hi folks,

I have created a small test window with a table on it and a button.

The button click runs the following code which creates a file and adds a row to it then
browses the file in the table.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

lsFile is Data Source

HCancelDeclaration(lsFile)

// Data source
File is File Description
Item is Item Description

// Describe the file
File..Name = lsFile
File..Type = hFileNormal

// Describe column 1
Item..Name = "CODE"
Item..Type = hItemText
Item..Size = 3
Item..KeyType = hUniqueKey
HDescribeItem(File,Item)

// Describe column 2
Item..Name = "DESC"
Item..Type = hItemText
Item..Size = 20
HDescribeItem(File,Item)

// Validates the description of the file
HDescribeFile(File)

// Create the file (recognized because declared as data source)
HCreation(lsFile)

// Creating a record
lsFile.CODE = "L%"
lsFile.DESC = "Litres of Alcohol"
HAdd(lsFile)

BuildBrowsingTable("Table1",lsFile,taFillTable)

I thought that HCreation actually created a physical file on disk, however my I cant find any references to "lsFile" on my disk anywhere. Any Ideas or am I completely barking up the wrong red herring!

Tks

Marc,

Thanx for looking at this, however I can't see the fi.e in my exe folder in fact I did a global search on my hard disk and cannot find any reference to lsfile anywhere, pretty odd huh!

Tks

Mark

Hi Mark,

It also worked for me - possibly it has to do with write permissions on your disk?

Milton,

Seems that for some reason the file created was set to hidden in the folder, therefore it was not obvious, doh!

Thanks for your interest.

Mark
