experiment - save file not

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2009/05/30 15:53
I opened my master dB file & entered some data
I manually closed the program to refresh the program
I opened program & latest data entry was missing
I did this 3 x
 
What forces the save? switch focus to new item, switch focus to new tab? interval? If interval, how long? I have data backups set for 3 min intervals to a different drive.

Google Wave (and IQ?)

Submitted by Pierre_Admin on 2009/05/29 15:42
It is hot off the press, so many of you may not have heard of Google Wave. If it ends up doing what they say (and showed) it should be revolutionary.
 
It is a long video (80 min!), but you'll be amazed:
 
 
Suggestions as to how Wave can help our community and how IQ could integrate with it are most welcomed!

Can you give me the details of the odbc connection string ?
 
Can I do both read and write operations ?

highlight filter terms

Submitted by markfoley on 2009/05/29 01:54
Not sure if this has been mentioned before (couldn't see it on forum search) but it'd be cool if the filter/search terms could be highlighted somehow (different background colour)
 
The only issues we'd need to work through are:
 
- 'search' exists in a few spots - grid filters, column filters and the search window
- Would probably only work for 'substring' searches eg *example*.  What to highlight when more advanced filters are being used could be tough.

Collection to help defray costs of a new hosting service

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2009/05/28 17:53
If Pierre decides that this community should be moved to another service, I don't believe cost should be the impediment.
 
So I -- for one -- am willing to chip in to help him defray costs for a different hosting service should he want to do so. We are -- after all -- a community & I think it would help streamline the process
 
Personally, I find this forum waaaay too slow. Sometimes it takes up to 30 secs (or longer) to post a question or reply.  Sometimes the damn thing just hangs.  Maybe you have different experiences. Maybe you are not as impatient as I am.
 
In any case, I thought I'd raise the issue -- which is actually buried within a different thread -- to see how the group feels about this.

MHT vs HTML

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2009/05/28 17:42
I thought I understood the different uses of MHT vs HTML from reading the info available thru the community site. But then I read something about MHT within HTML so now I'm totally thrown.
 
Can someone direct me to some real simple explanation of these two formats,
their usage, how they work together, etc.
 
Thanks.

Questions on Alphabetic filters

Submitted by markfoley on 2009/05/27 20:24
Hi guys,
 
Just had a quick look at the filters and have a couple of questions:
 
The letter filters are cool, I notice though that if I click "U" for example it looks for those that = "U" rather than those starting with U -  "U*"
 
If I then change the filter to U* in the 'welcome' grid you'd expect to see the 'user manual' row present, but it isn't there. 
 
Then I go to the to-do's and click "C" for the filter.  It shows Item = C in the toolbar, and the two items starting with C (call john, call mary) are there.
