DBF editors

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Can you tell me the EmagDBU version number you are using, please?

[Otto]

Enrico, it is version 2.38.
Best regards,

Hello friends,

When starting a large project like this DBF Editor, it is initially difficult to understand the program and the logic.

This is where Harbourino helps. I first convert the program into Harbourino style.
As a result, I have friendly module names and small, clear modules in their own files.

Best regards,
Otto

Hello friends,

I have noticed that the function ExpBuilder(cExp, cTitle, cType) in frankDB.prg is the same as the one provided by Fivewin in the following:


// Expression Builder Dialog
// FiveWin - Dialog tools

#include "FiveWin.ch"
#include "ExpBuild.ch"

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------//

function cGetExpression(cExpression, cTitle)
I have substituted the function in frankDB.prg with the Fivewin version.

For my purposes, I will proceed with the Fivewin one.

Best regards,
Otto

Enrico, it is version 2.38.

This explains all, it is a very old version. Please download the current one (2.75):

Dear Enrico,

many thanks!

It is in Italian. How to use it in engligh ?

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

It is not possible, sorry.

Hello friends,

I have reconsidered and thought about this again. I see that FIVEWIN's cGetExpression uses resources.

This means you need a tool to manage the resources. I think it is more future-proof to avoid anything specific.

I will stick with Franklin's original version.

Dear Enrico,

thank you.

Now DBFs with auto-increment fields are working fine.


Best regards,
Otto

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Great. Any more problems or missing functions?

[Otto]

Dear Enrico,

Thanks again.
Your editor does exactly what I need in 97% of all cases.
The remaining 3% of tasks are usually very specific, requiring many settings options.

I don't think it would be economically justifiable to replicate all these functions.
Sometimes I just write a small program.


Best regards,
Otto

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Ok, thank you.

I use everyday emagdbu. It's very powerful, useful and well done and in my opinion an english version would be appreciate worldwide.
Have a nice day

No, but you can be sure that all the changes are for improving the program.
