A couple of points...

1. Since you are not using Managed Connections (they didn't come into play until DataFlex 19.0), you actually have to put the password in the connection string (or create...

I could open up the file without error. I'm using a newer build, but not sure if that has anything to do with it. It's an old format file (not UTF-8 with BOM). I tried opening it with both modes of...

Oscar,

Can you zip up the file and e-mail it to me?

Oscar,

Did you save the .pkg file first, drag and drop into the Studio or just depend on the file association? Also, was it a 20 .pkg (UTF-8 with BOM) or prior version?

Isaac,

First, I'd download the client again, just to make sure that it's not corrupt.

Second, the installer should elevate itself to admin level (all installers do that automatically), so you...

As Dennis mentioned, the context help relies on the index (DataFlex.chw) being present (and not virtualized by UAC). Make sure that there is only one copy and it is in the Help folder and not...

Edgar,

I suspected as much. But there is indeed an RC1 Windows Client installer and I'd certainly try that.

As for the VCRUNTIME140.DLL, that is the C runtime from Microsoft and there are many...

Edgard,

We definitely no longer support Windows Server 2008, but out of curiosity, how did you install the DataFlex Windows client?

Well duh...

Jim,

I can't speak to the whys, but the docs for Set specifically mention using arrays and structs for most uses...

Thanks Samuel

Thanks Samuel

Thanks Samuel

Normally you wouldn't have to. Something just got out of whack in the CDS meta data and the Studio wasn't detecting a change that would have made it reparse that particular section. The Studio...

The online docs are about a day newer that what was locked down in the local help (and that page in particular was a last-minute addition). In general, we are going to be taking the attitude that the...

Did you try blowing away the .mtd file in IDESrc so that is has to reparse the entire project?

Bob,

The suspicious part is that it seems to be a couple of packages (WwgeneralData.pkg and WwgeneralNoData.pkg) that can't be found. Check the location and names of those packages and the Use...

Michael,

You still have (have always had) the ability to set up a subclass layer if you want to...

Marco,

This isn't new behavior to DF 2021, correct?

I'm not sure that we can impact the way the Studio starts from the installer. Installers always run with elevated rights (they must, and do...

To all,

Just to close this out...

Peter's situation uncovered an obscure bug in our evaluation logic that prevented proper execution on his machine. With Peters help, we isolated the...

Russell,

Thanks for the overview!

We look forward to more tales of daring-do...

Peter,

I just sent you an e-mail with the pre-release reg code (SN 5001) to see if it runs with that.
