This doesn’t mean i was not blogging, and time to spill some beans today, that the technology evangelist blog is now shifted from blogger to wordpress. My new blog is “<a href="www.itsallabouttech.com" target="_blank">It’s all about tech</a>” (<a href="http://www.itsallabouttech.com">www.itsallabouttech.com</a>).</p> <p>It has been a great debate for the choice between blogger and wordpress. I’ve also been part of that mystery. As I always say, </p> <blockquote> <p>“… nothing is god or bad, its only the requirement that makes it useful or useless.”</p></blockquote> <p>I did some great brainstorming over the path I will be taking my blogging experience too, and concluded to have a wordpress blog for now. It has not been quite so long, but it truly has been a great experience so far. </p> <p>It’s all about tech is just what the name suggests. It is truly all about the technology, latest happenings, tips, tricks, how-to’s, everything you want to know about technology and everything I know about technology. It’s all there. If you have what it takes to be a technology evangelist, please do send me a DM on my twitter (<a href="http://www.twitter.com/atifahmed">www.twitter.com/atifahmed</a>), and start blogging on the “tech about” platform. Be a part to spread the word and become a blogger.</p> <p>Please visit <a href="http://www.itsallabouttech.com">www.itsallabouttech.com</a> and let me know your valuable comments.</p> <div class="blogger-post-footer">Techie Blog Posts

I would like to add some point here, that may help in troubleshooting these sort of issues <p>1) Check the form query, you can do it this From Form –> setup –> Query tab<br>2) Check out the init() method, if it contain the args() setting, is it setting the query here. <p>Once you are able to figure out that it is the query issue, you can check the following steps: <p>1) Check out the relations on the table<br>2) Check out the code in init() and the execute Query() method. Check for the query related code. <p>Hope this helps.</p> <div class="blogger-post-footer">Techie Blog Posts
