Maybe something about subform use?

Just the basics, how and when to use them, maybe explain how to use relational linking (if at all).
Maybe run through some scenarios of how they might be used.

Any requests for this week?

@XResultSetSearch ( ) is the first step to any xResultset commands. As compared to Retrieve Spec there seems to be some limitations to referencing database fields in equation but as compared to xlookup commands it can take more than one criterias to get the resultset.  Special emphasis on @XResultSetSearch ( ) will be very helpful, I believe.

What I like the most about ResultSet commands is that you can execute them directly from the mainmenu without opening the form in many instances, printout the reports, open up forms, etc. I guess there is a lot more to learn to use them to the fullest potential!!

I love the idea of weekly how-to's for Sesame.  Unfortunately with the vastness of things that Sesame can do, I get lost with finding something specific to work on.  But a few ideas might be:

Word merge - for example how to create a new merge file, instead of modifying a current one.

Static Images - Easier ways to align static images for best visual affect as well as using this function to create a background for the form than adding fields to it.

Maybe do a run-down of the various ways that the XResultSet commands can be used, with a brief demonstration of each technique? Then, if there's interest in one of those uses, focus on it in another online session. What I'm trying to do right now is create command buttons that use XResultSet commands to create a new record in another database, based upon the information in the current form. For example, I'm viewing a record showing the details on a particular client. The form has a button that says, "Create New Invoice" -- hitting that button creates a new invoice record, with the client's details pre-filled.

Last time I did a word merge, it was with address labels.  In the how-to article it had me modify a sample word document to change as needed.  I don't know how to create a word document and make it able to have the merge fields.  Does that make any sense.  Or you can do a overall word merge beginner session.

Is there going to be an online session today 07 - 25 -08?

Thanks

XML is used to facilitate the sharing of structured data across different information systems, particularly via the Internet and I believe since the Internet is the future, XML will be extensively used from here onwards. Lately I have picked up a project of designing e-prescription module in an integrated medical office application. The e-prescription is required to be transmitted in XML format and I was pleasantly surprised to see that Sesame offers and facilitate making and manipulating XML document!!!  Thanks for being so forward looking and being proactive !

I am missing in the programming guide more examples of how XML commands are used. I would appreciate if exploration of XML commands could be accommodated in the next Online Information Session. Also would like to learn more about HTTPS transfer protocol for transferring XML document over the Internet. Sesame has @HTTPGetHTML ( ) and HTTPPostHTML ( ) but I am not seeing just HTTPPost ( ) command. Am I missing something? Thanks for providing us with so many different tools to solve the almost any problem and accomplish more.

Thanks.

Yep. I'll get it set up and post the numbers on Monday.

Are these sessions still happening (when there's expressed interest)?
I would love to see some more sessions/explanations/details for XResultSet.  My concerns might be too basic for many users, though - 1) better to program for the exception first, or the rule first?
