	I find this idea very interesting. Note that someone else
(excuse me, I fogave your name) is creating a conduit for access.

	Yes it looks ok to me too :-)

	My script is identical to your's (I grabbed it from
your doc :-). And if I put little number like you did, it
works. But I have large integer numbers like 40.000 (english
representation) to 50.000. Say with 4, from 4 to 4.000 it works,
but with 40.000 it displays the complementary to 2 on a 65536
basis (-25.536 instead of 40.000). Strange.

[pilot-db-list] Db 0.3.4b5

[<bjo...@in...>]

Hi, and thanks for spending time on developing this program. I have been
testing this version(0.3.4b5) of Db and have found a problem with it:
- When installing this versjon I get a "Fatal ..." crash the first time I
exit Db after a hotsync and it dosen't matter if I have any hacks installed
or not. After the reset everything works like it should until the next
hotsync. I've deleted the privious version before installing this version.
It dosen't seem to be releated to the database I open, it crashes if I just
start Db and just tap the applications button.


I'm using a Vx running OS 3.5.3

[pilot-db-list] pilot-db 0.3.4 beta 6

[marc-chalain <mar...@wa...>]

a new beta, succesfully tested.
BUGS:
 1) on Handera the info box of a database is not will formated.
 2) when the default float value is not set a fatal error ocurres
 3) perhaps the followup doesn't work, i don't now.
 4) perhaps the field text of a record could be hidden when you modify
it. I saw that yesterday i did a correction but not tested.

CORRECTED BUGS:
 1) i hope the fatal crash:)
 2) the global find is enabled.
 3) the handera copy/paste trouble.
 4) the last record selection.

Salut,
Marc.

My tool is no a conduit and not specific to an application. It's a tool
to
create the meta data for a database and build the pdb file. My idea is
to
create some differents plugin (for excel, staroffice, acess...) which
calls
this application when you builded your csv file to create the pdb file.
After
you will load the database on your device.
Salut,
Marc.

[pilot-db-list] Re: DB note fields

[marc-chalain <mar...@wa...>]

impossible for the record architecture and some trouble of memory.
A record can't have more than 3ko length, and i prefered to give the
maximum of place to one field than the middle to two fields.

[pilot-db-list] More feedbacks

[Fab <kr...@bi...>]

	I do have repeted but not systematical crahses when modifying
the names of fields. Crash happens after the box telling the base
needs to be recomputed, and the resulting base miss the changes made.

	The separators (when toggled) of fields disappear starting with
the second row when you scroll down. They reappear starting from the
last record when scrolling up.

	I have a simple script that compute the difference between the
values of one field, current record minus previous record. When the
current is 0, it seems the diff is computed with 65536 instead of 0.

If you're referring to a 0.3.4 beta version, you can switch

on the filters in Options->Global preferences... Select
"Actions", there's a checkbox "Use the filters when it's possible".

Cheers,

[pilot-db-list] Conversion of large notes

[Yeshiah Z. <ye...@ea...>]

I have a database with note fields some of which are 1k or more.
But when trying to convert the csv to a database it complains notefields
must be >10 and <160

I know this is not true on the palm as I have these large note fields.

How do I get the converter to access large note fields?
I also think that note fields which contain notes when tapping the icon
should have something on the line which tells the user "More Info" if they
tap the icon

Otherwise how do you know if a note fields contains linked data or not?

	At least in the working version of db, the default view seems to 
be the list view that is at the top of the list view list.  So if you 
modify that view, you should get the behavior you want ( I don't think 
this is specific to the working code, but I'm not sure)

[pilot-db-list] Unable to view a record when I tap on the entry

[Swapnil G. <swa...@ya...>]

I have installed  1.0.0 (0.3.4 beta 5) version of
pilot DB ony sony clie 320.
I have created a database with two fields - a string
and a boolean. I have created a list view to display
only the string.
When I tap on the DB name on the first screen, I go to
the next screen where all the records (only the string
ones) are display. Now, when I tap on the any of the
records I expect to go to the details of the record.
However, nothing happens when I tap on any of the
records! Is this the expected behaviour? However, the
funny thing is that if I tap on the DB name (on the
top line of the second screen), I always go to the
details of the first record!
Any ideas.

Thanks,
Swapnil.

[pilot-db-list] Release 1.0.0 (0.3.4 beta 5)

[Fototex S.r.l. <fo...@io...>]

Trying to experiment with this new release.
I have downloaded zip file, unzipped and installed db-en.prc.
I have no idea how to write scripts for:
- New Field type for DB-format databases:
        calculated (script to calculate the result from some fields).
        linked (another field from a existing link).
Is there any help file hidden somewhere?

Thank,
Bruno.
