odb file and db source

If you try to modify the form esempi/qa_preventivi_da_approvare_professionista when you change between edit and execute (in italian I use the "modo struttura" button) the listbox is displayed sometimes correctly and other times it shows only the value of the field of the query  record.

I've noticed a similar behaviour with the form "pagina_iniziale" in the table "tabellaPreventiviDaApprovare" of the subform "formPreventiviDaApprovare"

Thanks a lot

Alberto

it's an odbc database, could you provide connection parameters?

The forms couldn't be opened for editing or input without any connection to the database.

Please try to reproduce the explained buggy behavior with a small example with internal HSQLDB and without macro code.

If it is a special problem with macro code please add only this code to the example database.

DB file, dlls and models

the odbc parameter are:

DSN: contabilita

database: [path of DB file]\CONTABILITA_FB3.FDB
client DLL: [path of DB file]\fbclient.dll
user: PIPPO
password: PIPPO

the other parameters are the default

Thanks

Alberto

I'll try to reproduce the bug also with internal dB, but I fear it will take me a lot of time.

WINDOWS 10 64bit
LIBREOFFICE 64bit
ODBC 2.00.04.155

I installed database CONTABILITA_FB3.FDB on my Firebird3 server and I created the ODBC connection. Connection is OK, I can connect database conti_sviluppo.odb to CONTABILITA_FB3.FDB.

BUT I don't understand where is the problem :-)  
Give us, please, the detailed steps to reproduce.

@Alberto Hopefully you are not still having the problem.

Reading what you have commented on the issue seems all about listboxes and ODBC isn't really a factor, so I took some time to look at the database with a slightly different setup. OS here is Ubuntu 18.04 and using LibreOffice 6.2Alpha1 then I switched the connection type in your ODB file to sdbc:Firebird_file connected (in single user mode) to the datafile CONTABILITA_FB3.FDB.

Everything (most things, there is a couple of basic errors I hit) seem to work as I would expect including at the listbox behavior as far as I can tell. Looking at a few of the forms you referenced I had a hard time funding data grids with multiple listboxes (but I don't think I understand fully how to work those forms, so they are likely in the grid which seems to need questions answered to activate) 

I did find multiple listboxes on form CLIENTI_FORNITORI_REFERENTI and did then with another added a couple here.

As I say, in those cases the controls are acting as I would expect.

I do have one question, just though, when you said in the first comment 'I'm not able to read the item text' do you possibly mean from within a macro. I didn't dig into it, but one of the errors the basic routines looked like it was trying to do that - so if that is it I'll take time to test that.

Changing status to needs info for the moment.

Thank you Drew Jensen,
thank you Ribotb,

I'm sorry I'm replying so late, but I haven't read the mail until today.
It was a bit I wasn't working with the db and today I've tried to use it with the last release of libreoffice (6.1.3): now the listboxes in the table work fine.

Thank you for your work and helpfulness

Thanks for getting back in touch.

Change the status then.
