Some questions: 1) Is what I am doing a reasonable approach to learning MM? 2) Is there some sort of MM Read only BizObj? I ask this because in this diagnosis case there is no saving of information just reading. Reports are also like that. Should a BizObj be skipped and the data be accessing via some other process? 3) Is storing the Main MRP Dir in the system prefs table a good idea? ( BTW I am using the INI, not the register ) 4) What should I base the “Where is the main app?” question form?
1) The best way to learn MM is to start the application - reference the manual when necessary (which will be very often at first). 2)Using the builders for the BizObj will give you several options - one of them setting a NOUPDATE clause when opening the views (local or remote) 3)I wouldn't only because if you ever decide to move directories this may come back and bite you the rear. Try to use relative pathing. 4)???
I've been working with MM for VFP for over 7 years and I still have to look back the manual once and again. Certain features that I hardly used I have to read about or if I'm not sure about certain functionality I check the manual prior to changing or overriding code.
