Properties Box - no macros in drop-down list ?
Properties Box - no macros in drop-down list ?
(OP)
I use 1997 lotus approach, when I try to apply a macro to a field via the properties box, no macros are displayed in the macros drop-down-list. At the top of the fields list in the properties box it says <unbound field> could this have something to do with the problem! any ideas anyone ?

If it is a corrupted apr then you may be able to recover it by opening one of the dbfs to create a new apr. Then in the new apr, open and join the other dbfs exactly as they are in the problem apr. Then from the menu, in Design, File - Import - Approach file and import the problem apr into the new apr. Scripts don't import unfortumately, you'd have to copy and paste those. Sometimes this will fix a minor corruption but there are no guarantees.

I used to have a few problem with fields suddenly becoming <unbound>, and found that the quickest way to solve it was to delete the item, and then re-insert it.
You should then be able to select your macro.
I never found out why it happened. I always assumed it was something I had done. (I have a tendancy to break things!!)
I read a book once called '101 Things to do in Binary'.
It was the best 5 things I ever read.
