I can confirm that there is an error but I have not yet figured out what it is.

There is nothing wrong with the sample program. It has not changed since I originally wrote it back in 2004.

The error is occurring in the Xbase++ Xbpbrowse class.
It will take me awhile to debug this because it appears that there isn't any wrong with the eXpress++ code but I am not sure.

I know that there are a lot of eXpress++ programmers who use SQLexpress and that they have not reported any problems.

I will try to figure this out today.

Ok, I found the answer to the problem.

When I originally wrote that sample program it was tested under Xbase++ 1.82.

Alaska made a lot of changes to XbpBrowse and XbpColumn in 1.9.

Apparently, I never tested that sample program under 1.9.

DCBROWSECOL commands should always have a WIDTH parameter.

Change SQLBROW.PRG as follows:

Code: Select all

FOR i := 1 TO oCursor:fCount
  DCBROWSECOL DATA SQLFieldBlock( oCursor, i ) ;
      HEADER oCursor:fieldName(i) ;
      SORT SQLSortBlock( oCursor, i ) ;
       _DEFAULT oCursor:fieldName(i) == 'AGENTID' ;
      WIDTH 10 ;  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< add this
      PARENT oBrowse
NEXT
