Hi all, I have something you'll no doubt be able to help me with: Goal : create a Class shared by a dozen or so projects (the Class provides the functionality to create reports in HTML format). Question : how to accomplish this (I use the Harbor dialect). I see there are class templates, but they cr...

Hi Roland, I would suggest that you move your calculation function to a second thread without being tied to the currently open workareas of the main thread. That is, in the second thread you will re-open all the files you need for the calculation in shared mode + read-only (just for productivity), ...

Guys, You can indeed (with some programming) access the open DBFs in other threads. But I would not recommend it, especially when indexes or filters are involved: the macro compiler is used to evaluate expressions and these expressions are evaluated in the context of the "current" area. I...

Thanks Wolfgang, I had read somewhere that this is quite time-consuming. I'll give it a try. I already disable all but the 'Stop' button ... which I intended to use for just that.

Cheers.

Thanks Wolfgang,

I thought that might be it; I had tested public global variables and they ARE visible in the second thread. Is there anything else that is not 'visible' or accessible in a second (or more) thread that you might know of?

Thanks Wolfgang, I have 40+ years in system development - although 20 were mostly paper pushing :D - and am quite familiar with the development process. It is why I'm suggesting I can't commit to properly contributing toward a formal beta test. If we're less format about it, then I will gladly parti...

The problem is I can't commit to properly beta testing with the beta process' s inherent documentation, test cases etc. etc. I DO need to be able to estimate the amount of effort the implementation will take in my application and even how it will be implemented - need to get back to a client using t...

Ah, thanks Wolfgang. I didn't know.

H,

I must be blind, I can't find the SQL RDD forum.
