Unfortunately, it is not possible at the moment to encrypt or obfuscate a batch application. There is no way to create an .enc file for a batch application, like there is for a data entry application. While this is not at all a foolproof method, you can prevent novice users from opening and editing ...

Are you sure that you did a record sort? When you select the option I highlighted, CSPro will join the cases together before checking if there are duplicates in your file.

If you're merging records from different dictionaries, you first must make sure that the ID field is in the same position in both dictionaries and that none of the record types in each dictionary are the same. If this is the case, then I would: 1) Create a new dictionary, NewDict.dcf, by creating a ...

Macro International (now ICFI) has used CSPro 4.1 on Windows tablets in several countries. My impression is that things have gone well for them, but most of the questions on their surveys have value sets. I saw one of the tablets that they were using and the keyboard only took up maybe 20% of the sc...

One thing you might be interested in is an undocumented function in CSPro that you can override like OnKey and OnStop. On_Focus gets called after the OnFocus of each field on your form, so you can put some global stuff there. This means that the order of execution of a field is: Field PreProc Field ...

(After looking at this user's dictionary, here is a response for advanced users.) Creating the table you want in CSPro is not particularly straightforward, but hopefully this will help you: 1) Create a table. For my example, I am creating TABLE1, which is just a tally of Q68_A_6. You should create t...

There are a few tricky things when using CSPro with filenames, especially because CSPro doesn't handle backslashes consistently. On Windows machines the pathname contains backslashes, which also can be used to format text. So it's not always clear what you will get when you write "path\name&quo...

I don't have a copy, but there is definitely a translation of the error messages into Spanish, as CSPro is widely used in Latin America. While there are more than a thousand error messages in the CSPro.mgf file, many of them are errors that the compiler uses, not messages that would get shown in CSE...

Maria Teresa, The problem is that CSEntry "locks" the data file when you are entering data. That means that no other program has access to the file. You can test this by running CSEntry and then trying to make a copy of the data file in Windows Explorer. The error message I get on Windows ...

Unfortunately there is no way to do this at the moment. I say unfortunately because it would be very convenient to have dynamically-sized arrays or some other kind of collection. Perhaps a future version of CSPro will have this. Your best bet is to just size it at the highest size you can imagine. Y...
