Title: c8/nt6.06 Lookups not working
Post by: hilton on December 01, 2011, 03:47:09 AM

Hi Bruce,

I am plodding thru' the differences between nt5.41 and nt6.?? and have found that a few things did not work, however, I see that you have now fixed the locator problem - it seems to be working now - thanks.  Unless I am doing something wrong, all of my lookups have stopped working.  The ? button sometimes does not respond, other times the procedure loads but the selection does not come through and at other times the wrong one comes through.

I never did expect a perfect transition and am quite happy to work thru the problems as ultimately we will have more.  So when you have time, have a look at the lookups.

Thanks,
Hilton.

Hilton,
You beat me to it. I just updated a client's site to find the lookup buttons not working.

Popups did not display at all so I turned off the pop up. This allowed the lookup browse to show and an item to be selected but the the entry field was not updated with the selection.

Added- I put a trace statement in my item lookup browse to show the filter and even though the browse isn't displayed, the filter message does show up in debugview so the browse IS getting called.

 ??? I just converted web2 example in NT6 and added a lookup to the alias form. It works!
Anyone have any suggestions as to where to look for what might've gone wrong with mine?

Hi Chris,

I have changed some of my lookups to confirm your findings and yes:
1. Form to popup no lookup page at all
2. Form to form lookup page arrives, however, clicking the select button in the lookup does not get any results at all

I do not have anything to readily change to the other things you tried, however, when I get some time will fiddle some more.

Bye,
Hilton.

>> clicking the select button in the lookup does not get any results at all

is the select button "in row", or underneath?

Are you selecting the record that's highlighted as the browse opens, or are you explicitly clicking on a row before selecting?

cheers
Bruce

Hi Bruce,

1. The lookup procedure has the select button in the row of the browse.
2. I have tried clicking on the select button directly without clicking on the row first
3. I have tried clicking on the row first to highlight it and then clicking the select button in that row, but the result is the same,
the data in the calling procedure does not change.

Bye,
Hilton.

Hi Bruce,

My previous comments applied to a record I was trying to CHANGE.

I decided to try with an INSERT and the lookup did return a result, but it was never the choice I made.

During the INSERT if I tried to change the current choice, it behaved like the CHANGE did.

Hope that helps - will continue experimenting

Bye,
Hilton.
