Greek characters in field names
Jul 3rd, 2005 at 6:56am
Print Post Print Post  
I have a database Table1, with 2 fields, filed1 and field2 with label1 and label2, where label1 and label2 have greek names.

In table view (Shift+F6) in headers can I have
Table = Table1
Field1= Label1
Field2= Label2

and how?

Also, can I use greek in database and field names, so that, I have no problem in programming?

Thanks for your help.

Frankly, I am not sure if it would be okay to use Greek letters in field or LE names. Maybe, make a backup, and give it a try to see if there are any side effects.

I use greek letters in database and layout names, as in menu tree commands with no problem.

Do I have to do a test in XLookup, XPost and Lookup commands?

So long as the ASCII range is maintained (0-128), I don't think there should be a problem. But it is always wise to test before you deploy.

In application Display Formats, I have define the field type Number with 2 decimals.

If I create a Global Static Variable, the auto numbering function, page 59 in programming guide, gets the right number but with 2 digits after the decimal symbol.

Do I have to use SBasic programming to delete the last 3 chars?

Regards

Hello,

In Designer Click on the element that stores the automatic number.
Click on the Format tab of the Property Editor
Next to Display Format, Choose "Custom Format"
Next To Decimal Places, Choose "0"
Note: "0" will already appear selected. You will have to drop down the combo box and reselect 0 in order for it to be set.

Thanks...

One more question please.

I want the user to click on a command button to save a record.
Is there a way to disable the F10 and some other function keys?

Regards

Not in the current version but I believe development has it on the list for a future enhancement.

You can use NotifyForm to prevent the form from being saved via any key or mouse means.

On Form Entry
NotifyForm(1)

CommandButton::On Element Entry
NotifyForm(-1)
... Do save and whatever other stuff you want to do
NotifyForm(1)
