How do you store PDF or doc files in a code charge site utilizing MySql. I
would like to be able to allow people with the proper password to add these
over the web.

You need to store them as blobs I beleive and to date I haven't been able to
get blob uploads to work with codecharge.

I also would appreicate some advice in this.

I found some clips of code which I found on a site called
www.stardeveloper.com. The example uses Access, however, I ported it to
squeel server 2k without a problem.

I have absolutely no idea how to shoehorn it into cc until our friends who
developed the product provide us with fundamental documentation on how it
really works and some reporting tools so that I can print out the logic so
this old dog can forget what he did.

Suggestion to our friends at Yes. As v2 date continues to slip, consider
focusing your attention on something that will do the developers more good:
Get a tech writer on staff to write some useful documentation. This
newsgroup has some excellent solutions to problems. However, we don't ever
find out about the capabilities until someone asks a question and then the
turnaround leaves a bit to be desired. You don't have to wait until it is
perfect to publish it. People will use it first if you do a good job.
You'll end up not having to answer the same question 30 times.

You might want to ask your other customers what their preference might be.

Ok, I'm off the soap box now.

Your best bet is to store the files on the server and store ONLY the
path to the file in the database.

Morris,

Please describe what kind of reporting tool you'd like to see.
We are working on one, but not sure if it is related to what you have in
mind.

As for the documentation, we are considering various options, while trying
to keep the cost of the software low :)
The subject of documenting software like ours is not straightforward because
we cover many different technologies and even the description of solutions
would often end up being a piece of code that is already available somewhere
on the Internet. We obviously can't cover even 1% of programming subjects
being covered everyhwhere else and very often when users ask questions, we
go to Google.com and find the answer :) This sometimes relates to bugs,
which sometimes are ASP bugs, PHP bugs, Oracle bugs, etc. And sometimes it
relates to the regular programming subjects of sending emails, uploading
files, etc.
But we do have a plan that should help us help our users and it just takes
time, as our software itself is only 4 months old.
We will be posting a detailed Tutorial about how to create an Event project
with CC, hopefully in a few days.
We are also assembling an FAQ based on the questions we saw.
And, we are working on a CodeCharge built website, which will contain
additional examples, as well as will be open to users to upload theirs and
share their tips. This will be available at http://www.gotocode.com ,
hopefully in a couple weeks as well.

First of all, I am not asking you to document the various languages. You'll
agree there are better places for that. Imagine, however if the syntax for
those languages didn't exist. What I am asking for is all the syntax/rules
to follow. For example, to change a field's content we address it by name
with "fld" as the prefix. I made some assumptions about the Master/Detail.
They were wrong. I figured it meant to build two pages, not three. I
absolutely no clue why I would use a M/D or a M/D Four Pages.

I would like to be able to print out everything that I entered to build a
page to make each piece work. Trying to resolve a problem when I have to
look in several places for all the pieces is very difficult. More difficult
if I overlook a piece I am not aware of.

Thanks. !

That was a big wishlist issue with Drumbeat. I would like to second this
request.

OK. This is what we are working on.

Not to upset anyone but the master detail functionality in CodeCharge IS
GREAT!!!! Perfect example is Taskman, great start but to make it really
useful to me I needed call level/item level detail for each task. In
simpler terms I wanted to detail the subtasks for each main task, one extra
table with a parent/child relationship to the record level tasks. After
adding the table I used the master detail wizard to give me a GRID which
clicking on gave me a task record, with a GRID on it showing each of the
calls for that task, and then clicking on the call log grid gives me a Call
log record form.

Basically master/detail records are great for related tables...

Customer
|
\_ Customer_orders
|
\_Order_details

So here we have customers who place orders, for each customer there are 1 to
n orders, for each order there are 1 to n details. This is a perfect place
for Master/Detail forms... To understand master/detail record keeping one
first should be able to achieve at least third level normalization in a
database first. If you are not normalizing your database you are wasting
space, speed and capacity. If you don't first normalize you'll never really
understand or appreciate master/detail forms...
