What is a token

Hi all. Recently in an effort to help Mark Wieder with the formatting portion of GLX2 v4, I came across an issue where the block comments were not formatting correctly, and any handler with a block comment didn’t auto indent. In looking through the code, I discovered that the handler responsi

I figured out that when my work laptop is active there is a rule that moves the emails for the use list into another folder. My home iMac has no such rule, so at times it seems like no one is responding when actually they are. DOH! Bob S > On Apr 8, 2020, at 4:15 PM, J. Landman Gay via use-li

Re: Livecode and AWS Sql

Hi all. I went through something similar of late. One thing to keep in mind, the ODBC driver can connect to a SQL server on another device, but your app that communicates with ODBC must be on the same device as the DSN. May not be your issue. Bob S > On Apr 10, 2020, at 4:36 AM, Skip Kimpel

Re: Livecode and AWS Sql

Same as on Windows, but the difference is that Microsoft has built in drivers for SQL Server, mySQL and some other things. The Mac does not. You have to download the ODBC Administrator (need the 64 bit version you know) and the drivers. This is why I created my Socket based Client Server apps.
