Topic: Some questions from a new user...
I found out about My VD 2-3 days ago... I did some tests and watched the videos... I must say that I have almost no database development experience, and I am really happy to be able to create EXE files...
I have been using another app which is also great and easy but I can't make exe files and I don't want to install the software to the computer at work... I find database apps to be a great help when I need to keep data and be able to make reports of exactly what I need...
So, congrats and keep the good work...
Some questions...
1. When I need to search for a string, is there a way to use wildcards ? This is important sometimes...
2. When I import a tablegrid, and fill the cells using a search button, I can't use the "Show record" in the right click menu unless I make a button and through that button I add the form that will show the record... Is that correct? there is no way to avoid this button?
3. If I use "Find" in a tablegrid, then, if I have many records I need to scroll up or down and check if there is the string I want to find, because the tablegrid doesn't go the cell with the found string automatically... I hope you understand what I want to say... If, for example I have a form showing 5 rows and the string I want to find is in row 30 then when I use "Find" with the right-click menu, the tablegrid should go to the row 30...
4. How can I get the "SUM" from a tablegrid and use it? (Maybe to assign it's value to a field or use it in the report etc...)
Well, there will be more things that I need to ask but I think these are ok for now... I will start designing the tables and the forms for my project.
Thank you again for this nice program!
