Revolution.out window when disconnect from database
Hello, I am connecting to a SQL 7 database through the Microsoft ODBC SQL 7 driver on a Mac and have encountered two annoyances. First, even after passing the user and password through the revdb_connect() command, I am presented with a dialog asking for user and password. No entry is needed, just hit OK or Cancel and the dialog disappears. The connection is complete. I take this to be some ODBC quirk, but I only get this problem on the Mac, not on a PC. Second, when disconnecting from the database using revdb_disconnect(myConnectionID), a window titled Revolution.out appears to confirm the disconnect. The disconnect functions properly, but I cannot dismiss this window without quitting and restarting either the Rev development environment or the standalone that I created. Also, my menus get messed up once this window appears -- I get two Apple menus and two File menus. Getting openstacks, windows, etc. does not reveal that this window even exists. Again, I don't have this problem on the PC, only on a Mac. Any ideas? Keith Spieldenner ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Speed of 'sliding a field' - PASTE BUG!
Ah, I think I've just found what slows it down. I think everyone who tried it probably did what I did, create a new stack, a new scrolling field, a button for your script, and clicked the button. We see a rect zoom open (well, some bits of it). I just found that if I put some text in the field it takes longer, going from 26 ticks to 97 ticks. That was just a few lines. How much text is in your field? Does the text use lots of styles, type faces? Is the field locked, plain, scrolling, list? Then I wondered what would happen if I put a LOT of text in the field. I typed: This is a test. I selected all in the field and paste, paste, paste, about 10 times. Select all again, paste paste paste again. Repeated this about 3 times, all the time I'm pasting larger and larger amounts of data, it soon grows. After very little time Revolution Unexpectedly quits.

Database-type data but without a server?
I'm making an educational math game that will have a series of multiple choice questions. I did something like this about 12 years ago in HyperCard and stored the test question and the four choices in, respectively, one background field and four card-layer buttons. Each additional question required a new card. I'd like to do this in a more efficient manner this time around so I was thinking about using only one card with the one field and four buttons, and then reading the test questions and the four multiple choice answers from a file (comma-delimited?). The data then would be put into the field and buttons and the user would click on the button. We're looking at simple elementary math here so I would assume none of that MOD nonsense (discussed at great length recently) would affect the stack's logic in verifying the correct answer. I digress...The main point of this question is whether I am thinking correctly about managing the test data (and also saving the results of the tests) by using simple text files - one for each set of test questions/answers (and one for each user [student] to store the results of the tests. I know there is database functionality but it seems as if I need to run a database server (MySQL or Valentina are mentioned in the Database Manager window). Again, I'd like to keep this as simple as possible. I do expect that will be about 50 sets of test questions, each set consisting of about 10-15 questions. A follow-on to the above question is how the student test results data files can be processed in a report. Is there some kind of field or, perhaps, a group of fields that would permit me to pretty-print a report? I suppose simply processing all of the student test results files using a script in Rev and then sending it out to a tab-delimited file one could open in Excel is an acceptable solution. However, it would be nice to keep everything happening within the Rev environment. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
