    - Tableupdate() function I have a remote view set up to a SQL server database. In the view definition, I have set up the where clause to indicate SQL fieldonly in the update criteria. The bufferring is set to Optimistic Record lock (#3). The table itself has a field ID that is set to autoincrement. If I append a record and issue the tableupdate() command, I am unable to make any other changes to that record due to update conflict. Thus the following code : .. Append blank replace fname with "Jim" =Tableupdate() replace lname with "marck" =tableupdate() && <-- this produces a update conflict due to the field ID. The question is this. Is the only way around this problem to issue a =Requery() after the first tableupdate(), or is there a better way to do this. Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks Shahriar Tag: Disabling drive write ahead caching Tag: 197971

    - ative VFP tables vs Remote views We have a LAN with W2k server and W2k workstations. My VFP database is located in the W2k server. My concern is to access data as fast as possible. I created a local view to retrieve and update records in 2 tables. When I run the local view, in the data-session window I can see 3 tables open, view(cursor) and the 2 tables. Then I created a remote view using a connection string in which I used Microsoft Visual Foxpro ODBC Driver. Interestingly, When I run the remote view, in the data-session only the view(cursor) is open. Therefore, is it a good idea to use remote views in this way in my forms as the overhead of opening the native tables on the user's workstation is eliminated? Your comment is greatly appreciated.

    - using SQL pass through for large inserts Hi, More than one records can be retrived from back end (SQL Server) to local VFP cursor using SPT, e.g. SQLEXEC(nCon, 'SELECT * FROM Patients', 'curPatients'). However for inserting whole VFP cursor/table in back end I have to do one by one in a SCAN...ENDSCAN loop e.g. SQLEXE(nCon, 'INSERT INTO Patient (Field1, Field2) VALUES (Value1, Value2)'). Source data (VFP) is large therefore is there a way to INSERT a whole VFP cursor/table using SPT in one command? Other option would be to leave SPT and use Remote views. Ideas ?

    - Creating a VFP report on the fly from a web page. I have an ASP application that uses a VFP compiled DLL to interract with our VFP backend. I would like the users to be able to display an invoice on the screenthat looks exactly like their real invoices (which come out of VFP). I am trying not to use Crystal as the users would have already customised the invoices themselves outside of our control and I relaly dont want to have to teach them how to redo it in crystal. I have created a method in our DLL that generates a PDF file without any messages, forms or other human interface features. However the one thing I want which is to generate a report is rejected by the COM DLL. Is there a way to get a VFP compiled DLL to generate repot using the REPORT FORM comman or some other strategy to generate a report from an FRX file?

    - Implementing quickfill combobox in grid Hi I'm having problems with implementing a quick fill combobox in a GRID It works very well outside a grid but not in. Outside a grid interactivechange get triggered and calls a custom method called IsKeyHandled IsKeyHanlded does the work of finding the first mathing item and setting values for .SelStart and .SelLen The problem is that in a grid you have to use the KeyPress method in order to implement the quick fill.

    - Pack causing intermittant fatal error VFP7 SP1 I originally posted a message about this problem on 12th May. I am beginning to think it may be a problem with the user's PC. As the crash happens during a pack and the file has actually disappeared from it's original place, the fatal error must be happening at the point where VFP deletes the original table from disk and renames the temporary table with the original table name. Where on the user's machine would this temporary table be located? We do not use any Config file. Is it the Windows temporary directory? Could there be a problem with that user's windows temporary directory or permissions to that directory? Note - the file that is being packed is not particularly big. Any help would be appreciated.

    - Visual SourceSafe with VFP8 I stopped using VSS a long time ago (found it presented many errors) when I was using VFP6. I didn't have time to sort all of the issues out back then. Now I am up to VFP8 and would like to get back to using some sort of CVS system. Will the version of VSS (6?) that I got with Visual Studio 6 work with VFP8 or should I be looking at an alternative CVS system? Perhaps a newer version of VSS. Ideally if an alternative one I would like it to be freeware. But then who wouldn't. -- Regards Darren Woodford - MCP, MCSE Woodford Computer Systems Ltd http://www.woodfordcomputers.co.uk http://www.pegasus-opera-ii.co.uk Tag: Disabling drive write ahead caching Tag: 197808

    - FPW2.6a SCAN FOR missing records Hello, this is driving me crazy :( I have a screen that lets the user add/remove multiple items to an assembly. The items are stored in an array whilst they edit and then stored in the main table if they save. The save routine looks like this: SELECT pri_det m.arrayref=1 m.arraylen=ALEN(priceinf,1) SCAN FOR wk_ref = m.ref IF m.arrayref<=m.arraylen * already existing record - replace contents REPLACE pri_det.saparticle WITH RIGHT(priceinf[m.arrayref],6) m.arrayref=m.arrayref+1 ELSE * array has fewer records than table - delete record DELETE ENDIF ENDSCAN * add any remaining records from array to table DO WHILE m.arraylen>=m.arrayref INSERT INTO pri_det VALUES (m.ref,RIGHT(priceinf[m.arrayref],6)) m.arrayref=m.arrayref+1 ENDDO Sometimes when they remove items, this doesn't work correctly and the SCAN..ENDSCAN doesn't loop all the records in its FOR clause. Does anyone know WHY!?!! 1) There is no filter set. 2) I've recreated the indexes with INDEX ON. (although I haven't tried a SCAN.. NOOPTIMIZE yet) 3) I've pulled that routine out into a separate program (working on the same table) to try to reproduce and it seems to work fine. 4) I wrote a little program that SCANS the same clause just doing an incremental count to a vraible and then display the result in a wait window. I used my screen to remove some items and broke the save routine just before the SCAN. At this point I ran my counting program - it showed a SCAN FOR wk_ref=m.ref count of 5 records. When then went on to single step the save routine it only SCANned 3. What on earth could possibly be wrong here? -- TIA Andrew Howell Tag: Disabling drive write ahead caching Tag: 197805

    - toolbar Using VFP 6, I use toolbar which is currently docked horizontally at the top LHS of the screen when forms are opened. I have two questions. 1. Because some buttons are inappropriate for some forms, the init for those forms calls a method in a class which makes those buttons visible property = .F.. In some cases, while this works OK otherwise, the toolbar is no longer horizontal but some buttons appear on a second line under others and I have to drag the toolbar manually to correct it. What causes this and how do I fix it ? 2. What I would really like is to have the toolbar docked centrally under each form which calls it. But as the forms are all different sizes this means that it needs to be in different places for different forms. Is there any way to achieve this ?

    - "Hidden" files attached to a form? Hi, I created an exe w/VFP8(SP1) and sent it to a friend. When he ran it, he got several messages re. missing files. The exe ran OK after choosing "Ignore" for each file. There was no problem in my testing because I have those files. Most of the "missing" files were temporary files (012345678.dbf, etc) but some were dbf's on my system that he doesn't have or need. From what I can tell, the error messages come up when DO FORM is encountered and before any of my code in the form executes. The trace shows that the program stops at DO FORM and before READ EVENTS. I suspect the files may have been open when I created the exe and somehow, VFP assumed they were needed. They are not needed and are not in the project. My exe uses only free tables and the default database (i.e. I never specified a database). I was able to fix this by deleting all the files that were being called. I also made a slight change to the form so that it would get re-generated when I re-built the exe. But that's only a stop-gap solution since it seems it could happen every time I build an exe and I have no way to know what files might be needed until I distribute the exe and get feedback from others. That's not a good thing. I've only been using VFP8 for a short time but I don't think I've ever seen this in VFP6. What can I do to prevent this from happening in the future?

    - global datasession It appears that even though Datasession 1 is called the "global data session" it is not actually global because when you are in another datasession you apparently can't access tables in datasession 1. Is that correct? Assuming it is correct, what would be the best way of having certain tables that you want to make available to all the forms in an application, even though these forms have private datasessions? The application I have is a school application that needs read access to student records from many different forms. I have standard procedures that have been opening up the student data files and reading from them when I need information, but the coverage profiler shows that this is a real performance killer. It would be much faster to have the tables open all the time for read access. I could simply open the tables when I start each form that needs access, but having a global instance of the tables would be quicker and more helpful.

    - Grids on form with Private Datasession and 3 tier application Please could someone give me a pointer in the right direction on this please. I am developing a small application but I would like to stick with the 3 tier architecture if possible. My forms are modeless with private datasessions. The problem is, I would like to display a recordset in a grid on my form. The grid control will only allow a table/cursor as a record source so I need some way to get that recordset through the tiers. I have tried creating a cursoradapter but the cursor gets created in the default datasession instead of the private one. I am on the verge of just coding the data access straight into my grid control but that would break the 3 tier design. Is my best option ADO or another idea? If I use ADO is there a grid that will accept ADO as a recordset or do I have to convert it back to a cursor? Your thoughts please. -- Regards Darren Woodford - MCP, MCSE Woodford Computer Systems Ltd http://www.woodfordcomputers.co.uk http://www.pegasus-opera-ii.co.uk Tag: Disabling drive write ahead caching Tag: 197737

    - Create Label generates C0000005 error I have a VFP8 SP1 application (compiled EXE) that generates a C00000005 error whenever I run "MODIFY LABEL XXX" or "CREATE LABEL XXX" (xxx does or does not exist - makes no difference). I have another VFP8 SP1 application in the same directory (Command prompt emulator) that does not give C00000005 error. In both cases, no tables are open so it has nothing to do with data file corruption, indexes or a corrupt label file. Any ideas?

    - Any real speed advantage with dual Xeon processors? Hi, I'm looking for the fastest performance I can get on a networked VFP app. The server which holds the data is currently dual Xeon, lots of RAM, Win 2003 Server, 15K SCSI drives, 10/100BaseTX LAN. My current idea is to upgrade the server to 1000BaseTX, and buy a dual Xeon workstation, plenty of RAM, 1000BaseTX, 15K SCSI drives and XP Pro. The app only needs to work on the one workstation, and the server is simultaneously handling data for 50+ other workstations with lower performance requirements. The data is all free table - I can't use DBCs/stored procedures because of FPD apps sharing the data. Do the dual processors make a difference to workstation speed with VFP? Does anyone have any better ideas? VFP7, but going VFP9 as soon as it's available. Regards, Neil Tag: Disabling drive write ahead caching Tag: 197713

    - How to get images to be added automatically to project I am trying to setup my app so that if I create a new project and add the startup routine, all necessary routines will be automatically added to the project. I do this by having a dummy routine that never gets called, that references all forms, classes, and reports. I also have a bunch of images I want added to the project that are not directly referenced. Any ideas how these could be referenced in a dummy routine so that the project will automatically add them on rebuild? Tag: Disabling drive write ahead caching Tag: 197711

Is there a way to disable main disk drive write ahead caching
from within VFP? Registry key or something.

Hi Paul,

There seem to be more than one Registry key involved -
the RegMon freeware from www.sysinternals.com shows these
among others when changing disk cache manually
Access
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Esent\Global\Cache Manager\Enable Opportune Writes
Assign
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE\<yourDiskName>\<serial no>\Device
Parameters\Disk\UserWriteCacheSetting = 0x0

(line wrap)

I guess Windows "Limited user" privileges might fail.
