Several Questions.

Easier way to import data?
I have 124 fields to import and I have to go thru and match up each field as I am testing. Takes amout 10 minutes or more each time.

Also, I am trying to create an App that has a large database of data, is there a way to issue updates to the users of the software to update the data? I imported a large sample database and then tried to delete all records and it locked up.

It there a way to license an app so that people can be revoked if they get a refund on the software for whatever reason?

Is there a way to order the icons in the navigation area? Every time my app opens the "Analysis" box with reports and charts tab comes up first and I want the Icons in the HOME section to come up first...


One more thing for now. When i import a csv file, the fields that are availabe seem to be missing the last field.....I know it is in th csv file, but it is not coming up in my field choices?


Thanks!

Hi Barry,

This addresses your navigation problem.

I am still working on that tutorial and should have it and a video done tomorrow. It was a lot bigger than anticipated.

I have a feeling you could break some stuff up into different Objects. That seems rather large for one software object.

Maybe you should shoot me an email with the objects, fields and what you are trying to accomplish and I can give you a better way of organizing it.

As of right now, there is no licensing. I do have plans for a licensing mechanism for the Pro users which you are one.

The software may not be locked but working on your deletions if you chose a large number of records. It also depends on the computer hardware.

Regarding the importing, if you can send me your layout file I will take a look at your fields.


Thanks,


Thomas

I added a a column with a header of "Blank" at the end of the csv file, then I was able to see and match up the last field fine.

Ah so you meant the end of the csv file. I thought you meant you were missing some editors to map the csv file columns too.
