Hello friends,

When starting a large project like this DBF Editor, it is initially difficult to understand the program and the logic.

This is where Harbourino helps. I first convert the program into Harbourino style.
As a result, I have friendly module names and small, clear modules in their own files.

Best regards,
Otto

Hello friends,

I have noticed that the function ExpBuilder(cExp, cTitle, cType) in frankDB.prg is the same as the one provided by Fivewin in the following:

// Expression Builder Dialog

// FiveWin - Dialog tools

include "FiveWin.ch"

include "ExpBuild.ch"

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------//

function cGetExpression(cExpression, cTitle)

I have substituted the function in frankDB.prg with the Fivewin version.

For my purposes, I will proceed with the Fivewin one.

Best regards,

Otto

This explains all, it is a very old version. Please download the current one (2.75):

Hello friends,

I have reconsidered and thought about this again. I see that FIVEWIN's cGetExpression uses resources.

This means you need a tool to manage the resources. I think it is more future-proof to avoid anything specific.

I will stick with Franklin's original version.

Dear Enrico,

thank you.

Now DBFs with auto-increment fields are working fine.

Best regards,

Otto

Dear Enrico,

Thanks again.

Your editor does exactly what I need in 97% of all cases.

The remaining 3% of tasks are usually very specific, requiring many settings options.

I don't think it would be economically justifiable to replicate all these functions.

Sometimes I just write a small program.

Best regards,

Otto

I use everyday emagdbu. It's very powerful, useful and well done and in my opinion an english version 8) would be appreciate worldwide.
Have a nice day
