Re:[pilot-db-list] Field Types: Calculated

[Chalain Marc<mar...@vo...>]

There was a beta version with calculated fields, but Scott Wallace who developpe this part, changed every thing for the next version, then i didn't add this type to the 0.3.3 version. You will find the Calculated Fields in the next version 1.3.0 in few weeks.

[pilot-db-list] Re:Seems like a bug

[Chalain Marc<mar...@vo...>]

There is still a bug. The trouble comes the number of digits that you enter. Sorry, i knew it but i thought to correct it. I will see another solution for the next version.

RE: [pilot-db-list] Seems like a bug

[hermann g. <hgr...@gm...>]

hi 2 all ;-)

the same problems are encountered by me on a palm IIIc with the 
german version of 0.3.3 color 12/3/2001

it's only a test database, but every 5-digit int number which is 
bigger than 32700 - the limit is not more exactly tested by me - will 
be shown as - i think it's the maximum number possible - 2147483647.

i don't know whats wrong with that - it could be a bug

so long, ciao hermann

[pilot-db-list] Field Types: Calculated

[Mark J. <ma...@sp...>]

Greetings,

I would like to put your database to personal use but I need the calculated 
field type that your web page lists as a supported type.

I need to have a running total of an integer field to appear in the list 
view of the database.

I have installed version 0.3.3.

Therefore, how do I sum field entries such as a total of "Hours" worked?

Sincerely, Mark Jefferis

AW: [pilot-db-list] Database backup

[Kaldewey M. <Mal...@pd...>]

Under windows the backup goes under the following place.

For example: c:\hotsynchsoftware\palmuser\backup

hotsynchsoftware =3D path where the hotsynch tools was installed
palmuser =3D hot sync username.

In this place you normaly find all software and db's, which where =
installed
on your palm.

With best regards
Malte

Re: [pilot-db-list] Database backup

You don't mention what OS you use or what you use to sync, so I'll assume that you use M$ windows. I don't know exactly where your backups go but they should all go to the same place. If you are trying to view the palm db with the palm windows gui, I doubt that you can.
You will need palm-db-tools to convert the file to a readable format.

[pilot-db-list] Feature suggestion

[Bruce R. <ho...@uc...>]

This may have already been posted, but I'd like to suggest a feature for
future versions of DB: how about scroll-locking of columns in tab view, so
that as you scroll horizontally through multiple columns of text the
leftmost column(s) could be kept in place (in my case, I'd like to keep a
list of names on the left and details about the people on the right;
scrolling past the name on the left, you lose track of whose the record is.

Thanks,
Bruce Rusk

     Well, bugtracker is developers' facility, and they close bugs
when they *fix* them, not when they post the version which devoid of
them. If you're really eager to see the fixes, you could play with CVS
version - at least that's how people do with "big" systems, featuring
proper memory protection mechanisms. But you're not advised to do that
with your palm - or at least I'm afraid to do that (even though I also
submitted bug which made DB pretty unusable for me and it was marked
as fixed). It's better to wait for a new release, and give developers
extra time to fix other bugs and test new release well.

   Hope this helps,

[pilot-db-list] bug report

[hermann g. <hgr...@gm...>]

hi 2 all ;-)

i found a (minor) bug when working with the search/search again  or 
filter settings:

when a database is open and you _change_ the option "use filter when 
possible" to check this option - the buttons don't change, in the 
search dialog window the dropdown menu "filter" is shown but not in 
the program, here are the search and search again buttons still 
visible. Only when you leave DB and open the database again the 
dropdown menu "filter" in the program is shown.

The other way ... to uncheck this option - everything works fine, 
searching and searching again without filtering is possible.

I think these 2 features should be usable independently
- filtering, used and configured in the dropdown list (like the 
"view" dialog window
- searching and searching again, with the 2 buttons in the lower part 
of the screen

hope to make a really good program better, thanks for developing DB 
;-)


so long, ciao hermann

To change items on your list, go into "edit database design", but instead of

Re: [pilot-db-list] Deletion of all records

[<mr...@cr...>]

Just a follow-up message; this solution works - sort of.  The drawback to duplicating 
the design only is that the views appear to not be copied.  So, the structure of the 
database is copied to the new database, but any modified views are not.
