Re: openFullscreen
@RoSoft_Steven It's not a major problem. I just have to use the X in the top left to close Fullscreen. However, there's no point in having a command if it doesn't work,…

Re: openFullscreen
Thanks, I'm doing something like that, but was hoping Ninox had a function to determine if in Fullscreen mode. I have however come across a problem with using openFullscreen.…

Re: Write data to file
Basically, as far as I can see, if there's a '/' in the last string (filename), Ninox simply does nothing. No error, but doesn't create the file. Someone tell me I'm wrong please.

Re: Write data to file
I wasn't sure what you were getting at about downloading, but having tested further with the createTextFile function, it appears it is not possible to create the text file where you actually want it.…

openFullscreen

A useful function, but if a button is used to execute this, once in Fullscreen mode, the button is still there, but of course now effectively useless. Is there a way to detect whether in Fullscreen…

Re: MAJOR problem (v3.7.14 Mac)
@Mel Charles Yes I realise this is something Ninox need to fix, rather than anyone here being able to help, but sometimes one just has to 'vent'. 🙂 Not only that,…

Re: MAJOR problem (v3.7.14 Mac)

Re: MAJOR problem (v3.7.14 Mac)

Re: MAJOR problem (v3.7.14 Mac)
This time it's even worse as even a reloaded archive will NOT save data. Really, what is the point of a database that chooses to NOT SAVE DATA.

Re: Ninext : Important information
Wow, that's a kicker. Only used Jacques stuff in one db and refrained from using it in others in fear of exactly this outcome. Jacques, can you explain why this is occurring?

Re: More Vieweirdness
Ninox does have an annoying habit that if you set a formula for a column (new or existing) that it doesn't like, it simply deletes the column. When trying to fathom some complex code to display what…
