Yes, but in that case you cannot even draw anything on a card at all! I think you can, you can do almost anything but leaving the card removes all changes. Maybe something changed? I wasn't aware of the image bug, which is probably the cause. But just to note: cantModify does allow scripted changes...

Check both the card and stack properties to see if the cantModify property is true. The symptoms sound like that's the case.

I see. So there's a flaw in the widget, and I don't think there's much you can do outside of writing a bug report.

What form of the export command are you using? If I remember correctly using a rectangle rather than an object takes a screenshot of whatever is visible within the rect. If the form data is showing on screen, it should be captured with the screenshot. It may be pixelated though.

Have you considered using "export snapshot" to create the jpgs? The drawback is that you'd get a series of images if the PDF is more than one page.

The problem (such as it is) is NOT LC (and . . .) it is the lack of any attempt at any sort of marketing that has any rhyme or reason, as has been the case for many, many years.

They are marketing, just not to us so much. As I said, we're not the target group any more so you're unlikely to see it.

I believe their main focus now is custom application programming for larger corporations and businesses. LC still welcomes small developers like us but we aren't the primary target group now.

I think this is something that LC has to implement, check with support to see where this requirement stands.

It's like it buffered lots of the scroll down action, and was trying to catch up to that action before reversing. Using stam's test stack with the 10k rows and filling the scroll buffer, it took *12 seconds* to start reversing. I don't have an answer but I can confirm that the preloading of subsequ...

In English the diminutive is "ie", which is why I got "Jackie". I didn't like it so I changed the spelling when I was 13, thus introducing all kinds of confusion among strangers and acquaintances.

Some here do not know that Jacque is a woman, nor how to pronounce her name.

But jwack???

I'm pretty easy with whatever people call me or how they spell it.

Are there any invisible characters in the field, like carriage returns or spaces that would create an invalid date? To be sure, you could use this: put word 1 of fld "startday" into sday put word 1 of fld "startyr" into syr That would remove any invalid characters. BTW, if you do not put the date in...

When you save a stack, LC actually creates a new copy and deletes the old one. When the new one runs it's like you just opened it and all normal messages are sent. You can try locking messages before saving, or just type "save stack TestSOStack" in the message box.

Brilliant.
