Re: Error: Parameter has a wrong data type

I was curious about the history of this occurring, so I checked my error logs. And although I did receive a large number of these errors... I hadn't realised that I hadn't received an error log like this since Jun 2018. So my memory has failed me here. I don't quite understand what changed unless it...

Re: Error: Parameter has a wrong data type

You can trap this kind of error in the error handler if you can see some consistent error information. Do you have a history in your xpperror.log file? Hi Roger I'm sure it's easy enough to trap. But what would you do then? Ignore it and allow the program to continue? I receive emails of all errors...

Re: Error: Parameter has a wrong data type

For what it's worth, I have seen hundreds of these types of error (along with persistent db* errors which I still have no clue how to resolve). I asked Alaska about this error at one point and they could not give me a straight answer. The problem is always one of not being able to replicate it on de...

DCMULTILINE text display

Is there an easy way to update an MLE and get the display to always make the last line visible? I have a number of places where we use DCMULTILINE to display audit logs and I've tried a number of things but never really got a handle on the correct way to do this. Anybody have any tricks they can sho...

Re: List & Label report designer crashes under Windows 10

We too use L&L (mostly 22 but I have used 24 & 25) and as far as I am aware none of our customers have had this issue either.

Re: Database access errors

Regan, Were you able try this I did it work for you? Uh, no. I passed this on up the chain in my workplace and haven't heard anything since. Their initial reaction was 'that's not applicable to how our customers run our application...' How widespread is this with your customers? We get at least 15-...

I am having same issues Reagan is describing but that link you posted is not working.
Do you know what I can search for under Windows doc?

You the man! Thanks, Roger, works perfectly.

I wonder if Alaska acknowledged this as a problem? If so, I can't see any mention of it...
