I have a subfile displayed. When the user confirms, the records selected are processed. I want to display a screen over the subfile displaying the 'progress' being made ('order 1 of 35 processed'). Everything works as I want EXCEPT when the display counts up, it displays 'the count' as 1 then 2...

Thanks all to your answers/suggestions. It is appreciated.

Is it possible to call a subroutine (exsr xxxxx) from within a subprocedure (callp). I know it won't compile when the subroutine is defined 'outside' of the subprocedure, but it will compile and so far seems to execute ok if the subroutine is defined 'inside' the subprocedure. Assuming it...

Planning to completely reloading the computer. Anyone's thoughts on device/controller hookups would be appreciated. I was considering the following: Master IDE Primary - 200gb Maxtor (new drive) Slave - cd writer (not used a lot) Secondary IDE Primary - DVD writer Slave -...

Suppose I have 2 subfiles on a screen. I need to determine which subfile the cursor is on (active) when a key is pressed by the user. Can this be done ? Thanks in advance for you help.

I used the following: Delcared the file name once, usibg EXTMBR with a variable and opened/closed the file after setting the variable for EXTMBR. (Flapeyre) It turns out I have just had an opportunity to use the suggestion by Redimage1967 which worked just fine as well. Again thanks to all...

I would try deregistering and reregestering the MZTOOLS dll. Good luck.

Could someone tell me if this will work. A file has 5 keys. I want all recs that match the first 3. Therefore, chain using the first 3 keys. That will locate and read the first one (if it exists). To retrieve the remaining, do a reade in a loop. example of the code below. Thanks for any...

Thanks, just what I needed. A star for you !!!!!

A job creates multiple spool files with the same name ie. OE0800PR in a particular queue. I'm trying to use DLTSPFL to remove all occureneces from the queue. So far, I'm not having any luck. If there is only 1 in the queue, I can get it to work, but not with multiples. I've tried using *SELECT...

The following code will give you what you want. It also queries the user to ensure the user wants to close the app. The third subroutine can be called when the 'close' on a menu is selected or say a command button. Note the code in the 2nd sub - it ensures all forms open are closed. Please ask...
