Line Chart

David:
I have used RM Chart previously. Your version is much more useful and user-friendly. However, I was creating line charts previously. Can we create line charts using your plug-in? Thanks

Another option

You can also you the File Utilities Plug-In which allows you to find all instances of any text within a text file. The plug-in loads a Neobook variable with all instances of the selected text. In order to get a whole line, I replace the "spaces" with "_" in the file I am searchin...

Addendum

I moved the relevant code to a new pub, ran the pub and the code found and updated the db fine. This is confusing. It will not work in the original pub, but the code works fine. Any clues?

Problem found and fixed

Like most things, the problem was simple and based upon unfamiliarity with the program. I had not set the program to AutoSave Edits and had not issued the command "dbpSaveEdits'. Once I did this, of course, it save the new data fine.

:oops:

Thanks, Gae & Support v, for your help.

Problem with inserting new records in Access DB

I have reported this problem before. When attempting to update an ACCESS table, the structure of the resultant db variable omits the name of the db, that is, it is structured as TABLE.FIELD rather than DBNAME.TABLE.FIELD. I cannot understand why it would do this. I include below the code which updat...
