update the record after the form has printed, we get kicked out with a segmentation violation.<span style=""> </span>The processing that runs with the form updates several files as well as the file it’s run from.<span style=""> </span>This happens 95% of the time. Occasionally it will not create an error.<span style=""> </span>I know that permissions can cause this to happen and I have checked for that. I have also rebuilt all indexes in all affected files and that didn’t solve the problem. The processing table is what we used to call ‘spaghetti programming’ so I won’t inflict it on the list.<span style=""> </span>If I knew what other situations cause the segmentation violation I might have a better idea where to look.<span style=""> </span></div> <div class="MsoNormal">Second problem- We print a form with a barcode on a Lexmark 2380, works fine but I would rather do it on a laser printer.<span style=""> </span>We have an
HP4000n with the barcode font rom.<span style=""> </span>Printing the font list gives me the following escape sequence for code 3 of 9:<span style=""> </span><esc>(0Y<esc>(s0p4.69h12.0v0s0b0T </div> <div class="MsoNormal">I created a print code with this sequence substituting $1b for the <esc>'s and inserted this into the form just before the variable that contains the data (10 digit number) to be printed as a barcode.<span style=""> </span>Doesn’t work, obviously.<span style=""> </span>What am I missing?<span style=""> </span>To anticipate one answer, there is no budget for outside help. :)</div><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p> <div class="MsoNormal">One additional question: is it possible to create a multidimensional array in filePro? No immediate application, just curious.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Thanks for your time,</div> Frank<br><br><p>
