Hi Gary,

Yes, it has been some time. It’s not that I don’t log on to the UT (I seldom get the “You have more than 400” message), it’s just that I don’t have all that much to contribute with...

Also, I’ve been busy converting our main app from Cm 6.1 to 7.1 and trying to learn the new concepts. I’m really amazed with the new version, especially the new data classes. If just people knew what a great product Codemine is and gave it a try, I’m sure a lot of people would be impressed. I’m just finishing a brand new app where I’ve used Cm 7.1 from the start. This is a combined rich client / wconnect Intranet application (approx 1,000 users), and it’s so cool to be able to use new cde so easily in both environments. Right now I’m working on a small NT service app which also will be using the same cde.

Yes, that should work. We found a workaround, but I’m still hoping for a fix here.

Codemine has promised to change this in a future release. Then there will be a check if controlsource starts with “this.”, and it will then be replaced with “oThis” in the binding manager.
