    - Report Parameters We have an App built on FoxPro that allows us to create reports outside of it and load then in to it with out access to the source code. I need to add parameters for the report to pull in a given date range. Is there a way for me to cause a dialog to pop asking for the parameters, within the report creation tools in VFP9? Thanks in advance, David Tag: Menu Q. Tag: 217154

    - record is out of range FWIW, I got this error when trying to save a form I was working on in VFP9. The form was pretty new, no code in it yet, just a lot of controls. I tried to recover by creating a new form of the same class and copying and pasting the controls onto the new form. It seemed to work at first, but on the second attempt to save, I got "File is not open". I then pasted the controls onto a new base class form and saved it. Then FoxPro crashed. On restart, the second rescue form seems to be OK. I don't know if this means anything to anyone, but I thought I'd mention it. -- You can reach me at: p one six seven (remove spaces and convert words to digits) at comcast dot net Tag: Menu Q.

    - How Can I temporarily update FRX Init method in real time? I want to change all my report forms to use private data sessions along with a classed data environment. This is because the same report can be called from a number of different places in our program and I dont want to have to set up the data environment each time. I understand that I could use a form dataenvironment class but dont want to do this at this stage. However, I need some way to do 2 things: 1. Put user definable preprocessed code into the INIT method. however I dont want the users to edit this directly in case they stuff up the code the class puts in so I would like this added in real time when the report is run. 2. I am setting table filters based on suer selection outside the report and as the reports are now private data sessions, do not inherit the filters I have set. So I want to capture the filter status of all the tables and then somehow pass this to the report init method to go through each table and set the appropriate filters. Hope this helps.

    - problem with a VFP 9 COM server I have a COM server I've written, starting in VFP 6, using the combination of Session and OLEPublic classes. This is used by other apps such as WordPerfect and Word to retrieve some data from our foxpro tables, and has worked well for years in VFP 6, 7, and 8. Now, when I try and compile it in 9, it is taking approximately 30 seconds to close the running instance of it, when it's used, and this leaves a white square on the display of the calling app, and renders it unusable during this time. Until now it's closed almost instantly. Does anyone have any guesses as to what's going on and what's different about VFP 9? This is run under win2k and Win XP. Thanks. Chip Tag: Menu Q. Tag: 217117

    - Please help - remote view problems Posted this before with no resolution. I have a VFP app that uses the MS-ODBC SQL driver to connect to remote data. The intent is to have the view refresh every five seconds with the latest data (very dynamic). I created a view that give the info I need but I keep getting SQL deadlocks. The VFP 6 error codes returned when using the view are 1526 or 13. Can I continue to use views and develop around this? Is there any way to make the view read-only and prevent a deadlock situation?

    - Using table with CursorAdapter - how can I get the ID of latest record? Hi, I have an application and I use CursorAdapters for all tables. I have the following problem: I have to create a new record in a table, find it't id (integer auto-increment) and pass it to another module Specifically, user create a master record, then (before they save and exit) they can also create one or more child records in several other tables. So when they open the forms for the child tables, I havre to know the ID for the master record, and pass it to the form handling the child table, to set it as foreign key. The problem is I have troubles finding the ID. I use a very odd method right now, which works, but I'm not happy with it. Can anyone give me so thoughts on how to get this done in an elegant way?

    - Word automation extremely slow sometimes We have implemented a word printing facility in our program. It basically consists of a word template (with tokens) that the user can edit themselves. Then if they want to print an invoice for example they can select a template and an invoice rolls out the printer. We open the document in foxpro (version 7) and then search for the tokens that need to be replaced with the actual values. This all works well but for some reason we now have a problem on some computers. We have a few customers which report that on some computers the process of making the document takes a few minutes instead of the few seconds it takes on other computers. We have tried to simulate the problem here on our test machines but at first we couldn't reproduce the problem. Untill one of us got a new pc. At first it was as fast as normal (few seconds), then after some windows updates and installation of other programs it suddenly took minutes on that machine. We also had reports of customers who installed word 2003 and where the problem was gone. We tried everything from reinstalling word till whatever but we can't figure out why it takes seconds on 1 pc and minutes on the other. Does anyone have ideas or has had similar problems ?

    - How to make accumulated data correct all the time? How to make accumulated data (e.g., total amount, balance) correct all the time? Many years ago, I did an order system and found the total amount was not right sometimes. The order system is pretty complicated and itâ??s not easy to find where it is wrong. I know I can add transaction log for this field. But I donâ??t think thatâ??s the best way. The original code was something like TotalAmount= TotalAmount-OldItemAmount+NewItemAmount. I changed it to Select Sum(NewItemAmount) as TotalAmount. That means recalculate it every time. And then the total value has never been wrong. The biggest problem for this method is performance. We may not able to recalculate everything, say stock on hand. The biggest problem is balance for every account in general ledger. Do you have any ideas to make them correct all the time? TIA.

    - Grid columns are loosing names during runtime My code refers to the columns by name. The name was defined during design time. I have asked about this before, but the suggestions did not work out. I am using VFP 8 SP 1 Some of my customers are getting errors when they open screens with grids on them. The code might say: this.Grid1.col_code.setfocus() The code crashes because when the grid was created it named the column "Column1" All of the names of the columns are lost. Someone told me this is because I am loosing the recordsource on the grid, after it has been assigned to the table. I was instructed to set the recordsource = "" before I rebuild the cursor it was associated with. This did not fix the problem. I am getting several customers with this problem. Does anyone have any suggestion that might fix this issue? Also, does anyone know if this is a known issue of Microsoft and if its fixed in VFP9?

    - MimarSinan InstallAWARE - Read before you buy! Dear Group My personal review of MimarSinan InstallAWARE Studio 2005 SE as a courtesy for everyone considering evaluating or buying this product. There are many reviews out there praising the products features so I thought I may add my own review, information collected while creating a project in a live environment. I've to say, at first glance this product has a lot to offer and seems to be a better choice than InstallShield Professional which I evaluated at the same time. InstallAWARE's pricing is also very competitive. On overall, this is a product with some quirks. One will get used to them quickly. I appreciate that no produt is perfect and apprecite when a software vendor takes a greater emphasis on robustness rather than the UI and I hope that this product becomes more UI compliant as a user would expect over the years to come. It's most powerful feature are with no doubt the script editor as well as the flexibility in designing dialogs. However, I've reservations and serious concerns about the level of support being available and having received and if I had this known before I certainly would not recommend this product despite its features and price unless there's reassurance by MimarSinan that they will improve in this matter. The company seems to consist of only its founder, Sinan Karaca. At least that is my impression as all support emails I receive come from his email address. This raises concerns what the situation will be if that only person becomes ill. Another disappointing experience was the quality of support received. As I mentioned, as a developer I appreciate that no software is perfect as long as this is backed up by keen and pro-active support striving to resolve any issues. >From my emails to support I didn't get the impression that the company is actually too interested and an 'error by trial' policy seems to be in place. I could tolerate this for complex problems and sure would try this myself before contacting support but if it was in fact the company founder who provided me with this level of support regarding issues that seem to be obviously a malfunction in their application then I start wondering how much they really appreciate their customers apart from just paying for the product. Before you contact support one might however consult the InstallAWARE Help or Support Forum. Help provides basic information to most common questions but I found that many object properties which I came across on a regular basis are not listed. One of the biggest drawbacks after support in my opinion. Consulting the support forum did not yield more answers to my questions apart from not very detailed replies or the information that this has never been reported before and therefore must not be the products fault. In general, most issues seem to be the customers problem and any of my suggestions that it migt indeed a problem with the product and any offered assistance in investigating this issue further were turned down by InstallAWARE with the response that I can either pay for professional consultancy or that I can find the answer in going through their sample applications. May I point out that I never expected them to do my project for me and as having worked in support myself very well know what falls in the category consultancy/training or support. Not satisfiying but tolerable if the sample I'm directed to actually had addressed my problem. However, in one instance for a Button.click event a Checkbox.Value sample was suggested. Summed up, InstallAWARE support email responses might be quick, on average instant to 8hrs but the quality of support, the help and online forum has to be questioned. Just as final point to add, one might stick to email requests as any call to the company I made was answered by an answering machine and the one request for a callback was never returned. Despite InstallAWARE providing the option of phone support on their website. I might also add, that I tried both numbers, the one in San Francisco, California and the one in Turkey which can be found on the MirmarSinan website during the countries respective business hours. I hope that this is informative to anyone considerating or using InstallAWARE. I certainly will keep you updated should I have more information in the future and let you know of any improvements I notice. Please note that my case might be just an exception and I invite everyone to try for themselves. Best Regards, Martin N Feuersteiner Invent2b - Innovative Property Business Solutions Tag: Menu Q.

Thanks, Lisa, for providing this important information and code for the benefit of the community. As is usual with Lisa's articles, this one is full of useful tips and suggestions for how you can add your own specific functionality to this set of code to fine-tune it for your specific needs. BTW, if you ever wondered if there is a good use for the INSERT BLANK BEFORE command, you'll find it here. :-) http://tinyurl.com/amfdz Enjoy! -- David Stevenson, VFP MVP Editor, FoxTalk 2.0 http://www.foxtalknewsletter.com http://talkingfox.blogspot.com Tag: Menu Q.

    - Simple graphic on a report to display a percentile Hi -- - I am not a developer, but I use VFP9 (WinXP Pro) quite a bit to do lots of (simple) things connected with my job. I only use free tables. - Could anyone suggest a graphic that I could purchase that would take a numeric variable (1 to 99) and display it as part of a report? - Right now, I'm using a crudely constructed scale (1-99) with an overlay using the REPLICATE function which places an "X" in approximately the right place over the scale to represent a percentile. It looks OK, but it would be nice to have something a little more professional looking. - Thanks very much in advance. - David Tag: Menu Q. Tag: 216925

    - BINDEVENTS on grid header causing problem VFP8 SP1, XP Pro SP1 I have a grid for which, at runtime, I use BINDEVENT to bind the MouseUp method of the headers to a Form method that creates an index for that column if necessary, then sets the order of the table so that it is sorted by the clicked column. This all works great, but when the user drags a column to a new location, the BINDEVENT also fires. Ideally, I would like to distinguish between the dragging of a column and the clicking of the header. That way, the user could move the column and the table order would not change to the column moved - only a non-dragging click on the header would sort by that column. It seems I always find a solution right after I post the question, but I'm open to suggestions. -- TRW _______________________________________ t r w 7 at i x dot n e t c o m dot c o m _______________________________________ Tag: Menu Q.

I have a menu that stays open once a form closes. The menu is called
calendar. What can I do to make it close once the form destroys?

Is it push or something?

Respectfully,

J Morningstar

Your question isn't very clear, but take a look at the RELEASE (MENU|BAR,
etc.) commands in the help file.
