Anyone? For some ODD reason, fldGender (a simple combobox with Male and Female in it) keeps causing me errors. This is the put statement that puts the choice in the variable Gender: put line (the menuhistory of btn "fldGender") of btn "fldGender" into Gender This does not work, it always returns "Ma...

Mark, Thanks. get libURLftpCommand("MKD dirname",example.net:75,"root",field "password") OK, so if the path is ftp.travelandworkusa.com/public_html/userfiles,"username","password") That would be get libURLftpCommand("MKD dirname", ftp.travelandworkusa.com/public_html/userfiles,"username","password")...

Thank you.

I have it at the top of each and every script. It seems to be working well.

I need to auto-create a file folder on a file server (already set up) based on the user's first and last name. I have already read through the ftp tutorial and got it working - but I need to create the folder first and then upload files to it. To add, I have the two fields set up - fldFirstName and ...

anyone?? I really need help with this to make the database work.

Thanks in advance.

Mike

OK. I got it to work - except for one thing. Here is the code: set the itemDel to tab repeat for each line myLine in theData put item 1 of myLine into field "fldFirstName" put item 2 of myLine into field "fldMiddleName" put item 3 of myLine into field "fldSurName" put item 4 of myLine into field "fl...

Got it - I think it's working. I'll have to test it by making a bunch of records.

How would I do this?

Here is the entire opencard script with your suggestions (I have an invisible field called fldList that contains the all the fields separated by a return): ==================================== on opencard --Create a global variable for the db global dbID global curUserID global UN put numtochar(39) ...

Well, Mike, I said you should make a field that contains the list, because we are assuming a return-delimited list. You can do it the way you showed in your previous post, but then you have to accommodate for the different delimiter by adjusting the script. Mark This is all very confusing for me. S...

Mark,

I will read up on looping in Live Code.

Here is the fields:

put "FirstName,MiddleName,SurName,Gender,dobmonth,dobday,dobyear,DOB,EmailAddr,PrimTele,skype,ecn,promo_code" into myFieldList

Is that what you meant?

Mike

Mike, There are a billion ways to do this. I've given you a few examples, which should be sufficient to get you started. If your list of fields and your data list are in the same order, you could use a counter. put 0 into myCounter set the itemDel to tab repeat for each line myFld in myFieldList ad...

Mark,

The data is simply separated by spaces when I do an answer to theData. How would I put them in their requisite fields?

Fields being:

FirstName
MiddleName
SurName
Gender
DOB Month
DOB Day
DOB Year
Email
Phone
Skype
Emergency Number
Promo Code
created

Thanks for your help.

In the database, the three controls used to make the date of birth are separated out - they are drop down controls. My database only has one field dedicated to the DOB, so I added them together like so: put the text of field "MonthEntry" &space & the text of field "DayEntry" &comma & space & the tex...

I want to populate an existing form with the already existing data from the database. Here is the code I have already written: put "SELECT FirstName, MiddleName, SurName, Gender, DOB, EmailAddr, PrimTele, skype, ecn, promo_code FROM candidatecc where CandidateCCID = " &numtochar(39) &CurUserID &numt...
