Connectivity - Extended Example.

This is the readme file for an Approach 97 file called Connect.APR, which demonstrates the use of the Connectivity.LSO.

For information on the .LSO file; see the HELP files.

OS and Screen Resolution
________________________

Connect.APR was written in APPROACH 97, running on Windows 95. The form was designed for a screen resolution of 800 * 600 (large fonts). If the sizing of the form seems weird chances are your running a different screen resolution.


The CreateEmail() example:
__________________________

This is comprised of 2 Global subs:

1) AutomateEmail : This sub is called when the form button is clicked.

2) EmailReminder : This sub is called when the YES button on the messagebox in AutomateEmail is selected. 

N.B. creating a new e.mail requires your e.mail client to be loaded, (well it would wouldn't it) and therefore, if your e.mail client is not already loaded (i.e. open) the sub will take a little while to execute. If the e.mail client is already open, then the actual operation of the sub is very fast.

The OpenWebPage example
_______________________

1) OpenXpertSS - This couldn't be much easier. Define a label. Hard code the webpage address and pass it to the function.

The OpenFilebyAssociation example
_________________________________

1) ViewFile - The text of the label is passed to the function. The funky bits are calling the function from both the icon and the label.

Try changing the text of the label to another valid file name or you could go the full monty and change the label to a field box, make the text a record and give each customer their own individual file.
