I first want to thank the many folks who responded and reached out to me to help me start up the FilePro learning curve. I still have a way to go but I feel I am making good progress and I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve been able to start making a few simple fixes/enhancements to the FlowreSoft application. I got the Stuart L Werner Developer’s Reference from the STN folks and that has been a great help in answering questions and providing insight as I start to tackle more difficult problems. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Given that, I do have a question. In FlowerSoft, there is an operation where you can reverse the charge on an invoice if that order gets cancelled by the original customer. However, that operation is failing with the following abort..I’m linking a screenshot as a reference:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><img width=906 height=619 style='width:9.4375in;height:6.4479in' id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.jpg@01D79791.D4044260"></span><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Any hints/recommendations on how to proceed debugging this? I’ve looked at the .prc code in the gfinvhis folder but I’m not seeing anything referencing the index.P at line 816 anywhere. What I’ve been able to figure out is gfinvhis keeps track of the history of each invoice and I’ve seen a lot of code make references to get a free value from the index when a new order is being processed. This makes sense to me as you would need a new entry for a new invoice. However, in this case, I think we are working on an existing invoice. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I want to figure this out but not sure how to proceed after what I think is the obvious..maybe not.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Anyway, any ideas would be a great help.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Thanks and cheers,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Jeff<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Jeff Bandle <jeffbandle@gmail.com> <br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, June 7, 2021 7:59 PM<br><b>To:</b> 'Filepro-list@lists.celestial.com' <Filepro-list@lists.celestial.com><br><b>Subject:</b> Newbie advice<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hi All –<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> Long time lurker on this list but I’m compelled to ask for some advice. A few weeks ago Nancy posted a notice that a long time FilePro programmer, George Simon had unexpectedly passed away. I knew George from working with him the last 10 years, assisting him on the FlowerSoft Silver application used by quite a few independent flower shops throughout the US. I didn’t do any FilePro development but helped by providing standalone applications George called to handle things such as decrypting wire orders and processing credit card transactions.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> George’s sudden passing has left these shops in an unsupported situation and I’ve agreed to see if I can take this on in a very limited manner to at least buy time for these shops to move onto another solution. I’ve been working with Nancy and the fptech folks and have gotten a 6.0 license for the newest FilePro development environment. In researching the installed FlowerSoft software at several difference locations, it looks like George included the source code with the executable bits. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> What I’m asking is advice/guidance on the best way to proceed with ramping up on FilePro so I can at least try to diagnose issues if they were reported. George and I had talked about me helping him and he was going to provide guidance but sadly that never happened before his passing. A complicating factor is George was on FilePro 5.0 and I guess there are potential conflicts if I use the 6.0 version that I will have to watch out for.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> I apologize up front if this is too vague. I’ve programmed in C, C++ and C# along with MySQL and MS SQL, so I have a fair amount of programming experience. I’ve looked at the training materials available on the fptech site but what I’ve seen seems to be geared for starting from scratch, not how to support an existing project.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks in advance for any tips. I would like to have a setup where I make changes on my local development machine and then role those changes to the customer system, but maybe that isn’t a good way to do it. Any thoughts on a recommendation for setting up a support “lab” would be very helpful.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jeff Bandle<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
