Programming / Error 100
November 21, 2025, 01:45:39 PM
I have just started receiving error 100 when I attempt to run certain programs. The error appears when the program attempts to 'Process' a panel.

Some of the programs work perfectly while others fail. This just started today. The failing programs have been around for a number of years with no issues.

Side note: I moved PvxPlus to a new Windows machine last Tuesday and everything seemed fine until today.  Also, all panels are contained in the same source file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Registration and Setup / Moving PvxPlus
October 13, 2025, 08:13:56 PM
I have a situation where an existing PvxPlus installation is running on Server 2019 and Windx clients to connect to the server.

Customer is presently running in a local domain with all machines as members of the domain. This will be changed to a peer to peer network. The server machine will be replaced with a Windows 11 machine.

Is it possible to move PVXPlus to a Windows 11 machine and still use Windx to access the programs?

Thanks!

I am trying to call PvxPlus but all numbers are being reported as 'Out of Service'

Anyone know what is going on?

Programming / Re: Set Exel Column Widths
August 05, 2025, 10:09:45 AM
I tried the following but it didn't work:

03090 LET RANGE$="A1:I1"
03100 LET RETVAL=X_OBJ'SETRANGE(RANGE$)
03110 LET RETVAL=X_OBJ'EXCEL'COLUMNS'AUTOFIT()

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

 :o I am creating an Excel spreadsheet from a data file. Spreadsheet generation completes successfully.

Is it possible to set the Excel column widths from the default size before adding data to spreadsheet?

Thanks!

Language / Sort on Hdr Click
July 03, 2025, 11:12:15 AM
I know you can set a sort for a grid column by clicking on a column header if enabled in the grid creation in Nomads.

Question: can you get the grid to sort on a particular column using code from within a program? In other words, cause the grid sort without user intervention.

Thanks!

Programming / Re: Copy Data Definitions

Jane,

That's not a bad idea. The problem is that I would need to change the file open logic in 200 - 300 programs.

Would it be feasible to read 'providex.ddf' and 'providex.dde', modify the records containing 'C1' and create a new record for 'C2'?

Thanks!

Jim,

I may be looking at this incorrectly but it looks like this simply copies file 'A' to file 'B'.

What I need is to copy the file definition as contained in the files 'providex.dde and providex.ddf leaving the original data definition unchanged.

Programming / Copy Data Definitions
May 23, 2024, 02:56:51 PM
I have tables defined in the Data Dictionary in PxPlus 2023 version that I need to replicate in the same dictionary.

All of the files are labeled beginning with 'Cx' where x is the company identifier. For example, the customer master file for Company 1 is 'C1ARCUST'.

I need to copy all of the elements in 'C1ARCUST' to 'C2ARCUST'. Everything is identical except for the number at position 2. I see where this is doable one file at a time under Copy but am wondering if the is a bulk copy utility do all of the C1 files at one time.

Thanks!

I see that MS Excel - Data - Get Data - Other Sources- MS Query has disappeared from the latest version of Excel.
How do we now run PxPlus ODBC ?
Thanks

Mike,

Devon,

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it.

Off topic...there used to be a keystroke from a command prompt that would display all the current variable values on the screen.

For the life of me, I cannot remember what it was.

Can you help jog my memory.

Thanks!

Tom
