In 2.6 placing a link on a custom start page such as <a href=\"javascript:openOrder('sp-select:///ordertracking/order?id=<Order's GUID goes here);"> click here </a> would allow you to open an order. It appears this is no longer the case. I realize RootId# likely replaces the Order's GUID b...

This is not technically a Crystal Reports question but it is very much a reporting question. In 2.6 we relied upon SoftPro's csp_150079_OpenOrder stored procedure to get the raw data for our own open orders report we coded in SQL Server Reporting Services. We have recently migrated to 4.0 and I'd li...

Following your suggestions I came up with several function definitions to enable me to alter the default name assigned to an attachment: def Attachments_Name_Value(args): args.Value = "this is a test" def Order_Attachments_Value(args): args.Value = "this is too" Neither works nor...

Melissa and Bob, Thanks for the additional information. For most fields that seems like a very useful approach--just click in field and look at the info in the field code browser. However, there are two places where I think this doesn't help: 1) SoftPro screens that use controls other than text boxe...

Thanks for the information, Bob. I do have three followups: 1) I'm not 100% clear on how I translate an item from the field code browser to the <Context>_<Field>_<Aspect> specification. Is it always just <parent object>_<field-name>_aspect? What if the parent is a collection--do you drop the "s...

As always, my apologies if this question has already been answered by documentation or an existing post on the DevForm but I've searched and experimented and am none the wiser for it! Here's my question: As we know Custom Order Rules involve declaring a function whose name is of the form <Context>_<...

I hate to dredge up an old topic but it turns out the inability to unlock orders is going to be quite problematic. We had a perfect example of why waiting for the timeout to lapse and the order to unlock on its own isn't going to work well for us. One of our offices had to evacuate due to a broken w...

**** This is a resolved issue--I'm posting this to help anyone who encounters the same problem **** I'm working in 4.0 but I suspect that's largely irrelevant to this issue. I've created a custom shell package, generated a fully qualified name and requested and received a license file from SoftPro. ...

My bad--it looks like a global search and replace I did as part of renaming a few things to better match the SDK's guide to naming (e.g. RegisterProduct) lead to the alteration of my Select.exe.config which I had open in the dev environment. Oops! I fixed the unintended renames and now things load. ...

I have been working on a custom shell package for a while and just got my .lic file. Somewhere in the process of making the changes specified in the SDK to use the license file I've broken my installation! Now my debug build throws the error: Error 13 The command ""C:\Program Files (x86)\S...
