    - invalid path and hyperthreading I have a v 6.0 app. that has been running fine for 3 years which installs on the user's local drive. It sets no default folder or path and only accesses our Oracle server through ODBC to do reporting. We are now getting new machines for our users that have Intel's hyperthreading technology and now, after a fresh install, the app. is issuing an "invalid path or filename" error consistently. If I choose to ignore it, I get a memory error. The app. never fires up. The command line contains a -c directive for the config file. I also have a copy of the .exe on a server. If I point my user's icon to the server, voila, it runs fine. Does anyone have any experience with this, or any solutions? TIA, Marc Miller Tag: The Control is Read Only Tag: 200221

    - DTS programming Hi, I am writing program (in VFP 8) to upsize data from VFP to SQL 2K. For some, I create text files and use BCP but for tables with memo fields VFP does not output memo to text file. Since the data is large and process needs to be automated I need to know how to program using DTS i.e. DTS program runs to copy a VFP table to a specific SQL table with column mapping. This process will be repeated on several tables. Any help is welcome. TIA Kamran Tag: The Control is Read Only Tag: 200211

    - Reports and columns Thanks in advance for the help. I'm using VFP 7 SP1 I have a 4 column report and I would like a total at the bottom of the last column only. The entire report fits on one page. If I set up a summary page it prints on the second page. If I set up a column footer it prints under all 4 columns. I've tried using various expressions in the Print When dialog but nothing I've tried so far has worked. The only thing I can think of is calculating the total before running the report and inserting one more record in the table with the report total data. There must be something more elegant than that, however. Does anyone have any idea? Thanks, Jeff Tag: The Control is Read Only Tag: 200206

    - ENABLE VFP 8.0 APP TO UTILIZE HYPER-THREADING TECHNOLOG I developed an analytical engine in VFP 8.0, which uses 100% of the CPU time by design. When I run the application on one of the newer Pentium 4/3.0 HTT chips, the best I can get the app to do is max one of the virtual processors (i.e.. 50% total CPU utilization). Is there any way I can make Fox fully exploit the hyper-threading technology. Will VFP 9.0 allow me to do this? Thanks gang, David Tag: The Control is Read Only Tag: 200203

    - How to get which columns actually have 'Data Type Mismatch' error in INSERT-SQL? Hi all, Sometimes, I do SQL-INSERT-insertion to a table that consists of many columns. Something like this: INSERT INTO my_table (col-1, col-2, col-3,..., col-n); VALUES (val-1, val-2, val-3,..., val-n) Problem is, I often had this 'Data Type Mismatch' error. I hate this error because it is very easy to fix *if* I know which column(s) is (are) having the data mismatch error -and finding which columns could be very tedious if it involves many columns. Q: Anybody knows how to retrieve the information which column(s) is (are) actually have the mismatch data error? It's easy to get if the insertion is against remote table (via SPT) because AERROR() gives that information, but what if it is a view or local tables which are accessed by VFP natively? AERROR() doesn't seem to work. TIA, Willianto Tag: The Control is Read Only Tag: 200184

    - One instance only - VFP8/SP1 Hi all! I was told that one way to prevent an user to open more than one instance of an app is to try to FLOCK() a file which is allready locked by the first instance. I created a dummy file tlbTmp.dbf with one field only for this purpose. But the second attempt to FLOCK() doesn´t return .F. as supposed. A file allready locked can be locked again and again and FLOCK() returns .T. everytime. What is the trick to have this solution to work as supposed?

The problem is that when I install and run the program I get the message box error that says: OLE error code 0x80040154: Class not registered. OLE object is being ignored. Record number 5. <s>.

    - VFP7 very slow performance I am looking at speed problems that one of our application users has reported. Basically the problem is happening on very large tables of around 100,000 records. Each record has around 40 fields. All fields are indexed as a rule in our application. The speed issues are mainly over a network although it is also noticeably slow on my c: drive. I've analysed the problem using SET COVERAGE and have found that on saving a new record to one of these tables, the Tableupdate takes about 1 second but the application pauses for 16 seconds on the END TRANSACTION line. I have no idea how to improve the speed of this so any clues would be most helpful. Bernie Tag: The Control is Read Only Tag: 200095

    - VFP 7 installation/uninstallation problem! I just did a fresh install of Windows 2000. Haven't even gotten around to installing the Windows 2000 service pack update or configuring Internet access. To access some documentation (which I keep in DBFs) I decided to install VFP 7.0. I did so, updated it to SP1 (which I had saved on disk), got everything configured. The installation process appeared to have proceeded normally after I was prompted to install necessary Windows Components from the VFP 7 installtion CD. However, turning on the machine I am prompted to install a component (not specified), and am asked for a location. It hints that it's looking for vs_setup.msi, if you poke a bit. This is on the VFP 7.0 installation CD, which I put in. A process goes on for some ten minutes, and it appears that a lot of stuff is getting installed, configured (therm bars going on and on). However, later I get the same thing on subsequent Windows 2000 startups. I decide to uninstall VFP 7.0 and reinstall it. I go to Add/Remove programs and try to remove it there. I'm informed that Windows can't find the uninstall file and am asked if I want to remove the representation of the program in Add/Remove programs. Stupidly, I agree. I try to uninstall from the VFP 7 installation CD. The option is right there: Uninstall MS Visual Foxpro 7. I pick it and a dialog comes up saying: Setup has detected that you might not have enough space to install this product. Do you want to continue? Yes No The installation drive has 87 GB free! I can't pick either Yes or No, as the dialog and the VFP 7 Maintenance screen is completely frozen. My only option is to end the task. What can I do to fix things? I really don't want to reformat Windows 2000 again. It appears that the dialog was waiting for a response from me. Of course, I couldn't respond. However, something changed at one point and I chose to uninstall ("Yes"). That appeared to proceed "normally," however afterward my installation directory and files appeared to persist. I put in the installation CD and proceeded to attempt to install VFP 7 again. The process immediately aborted and I was offered this logfile explaining the reason for the abort: [09/18/04,04:06:52] setup.exe: [0] CreateDirectoryLayout problems creating directory: W:\Apps\Fox\MS Visual Foxpro 7.0 [09/18/04,04:06:52] setup.exe: [2] InstallSetupFiles : CreateDirectoryLayout failed [09/18/04,04:06:57] setup.exe: [2] ISetupManager::InstallSetupFiles() failed in ISetupManager::RunInstallLists [09/18/04,04:06:57] setup.exe: [2] ISetupManager::RunInstallFromThread() failed in ISetupManager::RunInstall() ***EndOfSession*** What should I do?

    - Help w/ DOS foxbase app--won't start Help. I am trying to get a program written in DOS foxbase about 6-7 years ago to start. It seems to start, but then I get a message that says "Preparing files ... Please be patient" Then it drops to a dos prompt. No other messages. I cannot get it to do anything. The most puzzling part of this is that this program works fine on an old computer running W98. That computer boots to dos and then this legacy foxbase ap is used. When I copied all of the files from that old computer to a new one, it did not work and is doing as I described above. I'm not sure this matters, but the new computer is using VirtualPC on XPPro. The virtualPC boots to dos and only loads w98 when asked. I duplicated the config.sys and autoexec.bat settings. I cannot think of anything else. Any help would be much appreciated.

    - Record pointer moving on its own (it's possessed!!) I have a situation with a client's app that results in the record pointer not moving properly. On the forms I develop, I use a pageframe with a List tab at the far right. On the tab is a grid showing the form's main table and this grid is used for locating a record. You click in a column, start typing, it does an incremental search, and when you hit the record you want you just press Enter. The pageframe's main tab is activated and this is where the data entry/edit is done. This works great, but after installing VFP 8 a client noticed a problem. While on the main tab, the user may move to another record (this is basically a bill of materials form and the user can right-click on a line item and choose Inspect this part and the record pointer will be moved to that part and the form will display it). After doing this and clicking back on the List tab, instead of the grid being positioned on the record displayed in the main tab, the grid will be on some other record. It's not necessarily a record that was previously being viewed on the main tab. As I mentioned before, this has worked perfectly up until the install of VFP 8. In fact, when the client tests on a VFP 7 version of the app, it still works fine. I had noticed some similar behavior in another client's app, but attributed it to an error in my code (though I could find none) and didn't think it was VFP 8 related because it had been awhile since we moved to VFP 8, so that connection didn't jump out at me. However, that may be the same issue. If the code is traced, it works, if the code is not traced it will fail. Has anyone seen anything like this?

    - sys(3050) I've been having a problem with freeze-ups in FoxPro 8, where a compiled application will either freeze entirely or seem to be frozen for a long time but then eventually come back online. This seems to happen especially when a user is just stepping through a table. I'm wondering if possibly this has something to do with the sys(3050) setting. Microsoft has a KB article in which they say that FoxPro does not always work very well with large amounts of RAM. Of course, all computers these days have large amounts of RAM. The KB article says 256 megabytes or more might cause a problem, and all the computers my application is running on have at least 512 megabytes. My question is, in general, is it a good programming practice to always use SYS(3050) in a FoxPro application to reduce the amount of available RAM? If so, what is a good number at which to set the available RAM? Kevin Clark Seton Home Study School Tag: The Control is Read Only Tag: 200018

I go to requery() an SQL view, but get the error: "Table buffer for alias ViewDocHeader contains uncommitted changes (Error 1545)". prior to this I use: 'setfldstate("DiscPCent", 1, "ViewDocHeader")' to manually set the field status of the view, because the control source has been changed for a control using the DiscPCent field, in debug I can see that this code: getfldstate(-1, tcAlias) returns "1111111111111111111111", why does it still think there are uncommitted changes, when in fact there isn't anything different and I've used 'setfldstate' Any help greatly appreciated.

    - Editing a memo field in a grid I have created a grid and one the columns in this grid is a memo field. I can't use the standard ways of adding data or editing this memo field (CTRL-PGDN or double-clicking do this in a browse window). What am I missing? There must be some way to view and edit data in a memo field in a grid, but I can't find anything about this in the help files. I'm using VFP 7 / SP1. -Everett Tag: The Control is Read Only Tag: 199977

Sometimes one of my controls, or a browse window, will give this message to
a user. This means that the data showing in it can be read, but not changed.
What are some common reasons for this to happen? For example, a table could
have the read-only attribute - but that's not the case here. Anything else?

Your control source could also be from a SQL SELECT cursor, which is by
default read-only, or it could be a calculated field.
