I am having difficulty understanding how things go together.
Where different pieces go, and when or what order to put them together in.
I am familiar with programming in reference to variables, procedures, functions, etc ... but I seem to be missing "What goes where" and "How or When to put it there"??
Is there any documentation anywhere explaining this?
Example ... To build a basic project, first ... , then ... , then ... , etc ...
Or ... If you want to do this ... the steps are ....
Or ... This is how a project goes together ...
Below is an example of how I have spent my last day and 1/2 ...
I ran the RAD to build all tables and forms but noticed it does not allow sorting on all columns like when I create a table using a query. Is this something I am doing wrong?
So, I created a table defining a query and thought I could use the buttons created by the RAD. ... wrong
When I copy and paste the buttons from the Table built by the RAD into the program I built (Table with Query) I get 3 errors on the buttons.
1st one ... (Table) which I changed from "Table" to "WIN_Company_Table", the name of the table I built
Now I am stuck with 2 other errors for the names "SuspendRefresh" and "FilterValue".
When I search the project I locate them in the GLOBAL DECLARATION of the window that was created by the RAD ... So, after figuring out how to get to the code section for the Global Declaration for a window, I pasted the code that was in the RAD to my window.
Now I have several new errors in reference to "InitalFilter", "ManageRefresh", and "SuspendRefresh". All errors are : identifier unknown or inaccessible: to access an element beyond scope, use an EXTERN declaration.
So I searched "Manage Refresh" & "SuspendRefresh" and it appears these are part of Object RAD ... and they refresh the screen ... that's all the help I can locate.
I still have the "InitialFilter" error and have no idea what to do with the "SuspendRefresh" & "ManageRefresh" errors since all I know is they are part of Object RAD.
All I want to do is have a table that displays records, can sort it by any of the column headers, and create or modify a record when you click on a button.
Ultimately I want be able to filter the table to show all the records or just some of the records based on criteria set up in a radio button.
What do I do NOW? I am stuck and frustrated!
Am I missing something? I hope there is a better way ...
Any help is appreciated !!!
