Store and Read Global Parameters

Often we have to get global parameters changed only by the developer. Traditionally we store it in a parameter file and link. The disadvantage are links in many programs and partly locking problems.
  1. Build a file with two fields: key and value.
  2. Fill the records only as developer
  3. Write a programme that read this file
Load at runtime start (application Properties=start program)
Record Main
Select Real key (A)
Select Real value (B)

Records Suffix
Evaluate SETPARAM (A,B)

To read the constants at programmes use:
GETPARAM ('KEY')

... to be continued

Solve problems with .chm files

Many people download the mga.chm and other .chm files and store them somewhere on a network drive. However, when they try to open the mga.chm file, they can see the list of messages in the left hand pane, but "File not found" in the right hand pane.
The same experience have people who are accessing the Magic Help file (Mghelpw.chm) from the Network.

Background information

After you install Windows Security Update Number 896358, certain HTML Help features may not work as expected. The problem occurs if the .chm file you are accessing is residing at a remote location on your network.
Edit your registry and change the value for MaxAllowedZone from "0" to "2" for the key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions]
"MaxAllowedZone"=dword:00000002
The default value of MaxAllowedZone is zero. This value decides how access to different zones is allowed as explained in the table below.
Enable only those security zones that you trust. Do not enable security zones about which you are not sure.
MaxAllowedZone Local Machine zone Local intranet zone Trusted sites zone Internet zone Restricted sites zone
0 Allowed Blocked Blocked Blocked Blocked
1 Allowed Allowed Blocked Blocked Blocked
2 Allowed Allowed Allowed Blocked Blocked
3 Allowed Allowed Allowed Allowed Blocked
4 Allowed Allowed Allowed Allowed Allowed
