To keep the complexisty of an analysis display down to something we can easily interperate, folders can be used to group files together.

 

The question is.  How do you link files together that are in different folders?

When you design a quick prototype, you often create some windows (or pages) without defining any data files. When the prototype is validated, and only then, you decide to create the structures of the data files.

Do away with having to START a thread, allocate it memory, etc… (grin)

 

In Windev, go to your procedure and on the right-hand side of the procedure header bar, click on the timer icon and set your preference.

Clarion dates start at 28 Dec 1800 and Windev Dates start at 1 january 1583, but the function Integertodate works from 1 january 1800
Thanks to Andy (www.ccscowboy.com) here is a neat little formula to convert clarion dates to windev dates.

Mydate is date= Integertodate(DateDifference("18000101","18001228")+cwValue)

Interesting Runtime Error – but the error did not display the line that was the cause of the error, but rather the preceding wlanguage line.

It is unbelievable how easy it is to consume web services with Windev.

I imported the web service WSDL file and Windev auto creaded all the objects for me to call. One little problem I had, and I suspect more it's the service provider that is at fault here .. .a tdate in windev was not recognised by the provider although it is specified in their WDSL.

The new website is up....just ...

Ria is still busy fixing all the bugs in the release ...

We are all anticipating ...

I am a great believer that a web developer does the website using something like WAMP and then upload, but this time it has bitten us a bit. Using WAMP  on Windows 7 makes the website behave like a windows server - no case sensitivty of urls etc, - untill we uploaded to a linux (aaarrgghhh) host server.
