Subject Help file correction (for Helen?)
Author s.beames@mailbox.gu.edu.au
Hi Helen,
are you handling maintenance of the help files?
If so, may I offer some possible mods/questions for/about them?

1/"Configuring TIB_LookupCombo" page in IBO.hlp ->

Table Produce:

Property SQL


· select
· NAME,

TYPE, <-------- [*** NEEDED! ***]

· (select DESCRIPTION from PRODUCETYPE T
· where T.TYPE = P.TYPE) as TYPE_DESC,
· DESCRIPTION,
· PRICE,
· QTY
· from PRODUCE P

{-snip-}

Table ProduceType:
{-snip-}
Property KeyDescLinks

· PRODUCETYPE.DESCRIPTION=TYPE_DESC

To allow IBO a proper handling of visual updates within the grid
[*** for which the lookup is supplying a value *** (it wasn't obvious
to me what this meant until recently)]
you have to declare, which field of the lookup correspond to the
computed field in the main table.


2/ Various pages:
- I don't think the help files refer to the ability to set a negative
OrderingItemNo, recently mentioned by others.

Cheers,
Steve
