OK, i did that, and I saw the status bar go through the items and update everything, but the column in the grid is still blank. How do I fill in the column with the values that are now stored in the field?Not sure I follow you here, but you can try to refresh (F5) or close the grid and re-open.... Can you post an image if this does not help you-superboyac (November 30, 2007, 12:28 PM)
Is there a way to transfer the contents of one column of one grid into the column of another grid, even though the columns represent different fields?-superboyac (November 30, 2007, 11:55 AM)
OK, I found out what the problem was. For album and artist fields, i had the "auto-update" box checked, which is bad apparently. Can you tell me what that is for?Auto-calc is for fields that have equations which depend on todays date (Urgency is a good example). It tells the system to update the value on a change of day.-superboyac (November 29, 2007, 10:51 AM)
Oh No! Disaster! I just opened up the database I made yesterday, and on the bottom of the screen is was saying something about auto-calc fields, and now all of the album/artist fields disappeared! This is bad.This was certainly just a display problem. In 3 years of using SQLNotes, I've never lost anything!. I'll check on this issue-superboyac (November 29, 2007, 10:05 AM)
You know, I just realized that the itemparent way is better. My only issue is this: does the position in the hierarchy determine whether the item is album/artist/song? Is that going to be an issue if I try to use the same data in a different grid? How will I be able to filter out albums, artists, and songs if I don't have those distinct fields and they all go into the same field?-superboyac (November 29, 2007, 10:02 AM)
Can I hide that "#" column? Do I need it? Does each item have its own ID number that the program keeps track of? If I start a new grid and want to reference items in another grid, how do link to that item? I'm sure there has to be a unique ID somewhere for each one.- To hide the # column, reduce its size to zero
Also, i couldn't find how to do this, so if there isn't this feature yet, it should probably be added: expand all/collapse all. There should be a way to expand all the items and collapse them all, to save some tedious clicking sometimes.
I'm loving this program...-superboyac (November 28, 2007, 06:39 PM)
Thanks, this program is awesome. It's like Access except easier to use.
What's the plan for user-defineable keyboard shortcuts?-superboyac (November 28, 2007, 05:50 PM)
You don't need to. You open the program, then drag the window to the second monitor. Close it. It will now open in the second monitor. Different monitor resolutions is no problem. Works for me all the time (I have 1400x1040 on the notebook and 1600x1200 external. Check: Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor in screen>properties>settingsXP starts up the application in the same monitor as the last time (if available). If you write the app, you can control this, otherwise, I don't think you can do much.Interesting. How do I make an app start on the secondary monitor the first time?-PPLandry (November 26, 2007, 11:36 PM)

. It will have Outlook-like recurring events and alarms (more advanced versions of these will follow, including multi-database value-based alarms, not just date-based)
