    - SP1 did not solve my problems! Well, looks like Vista SP1 did not solve any of my problems with VFP apps. SET PRINTER TO name is very very slow on Vista computers over the network. For some reason, opening a form and SELECT is VERY slow using Vista workstations. I was really hoping that SP1 would solve some of these issues, but evidently MS didn't listen. Or they just don't care about VFP anymore. We just put www.openoffice.org on all of our computers! No more upgrade fees for us!!!!!! John Tag: Preparing to install Tag: 240149

    - Window on top Hello all and thanks in advance for the help. I have an application that creates windows (forms) in response to external events or messages. When a new form is created, I need it to appear on top of any application currently running (both FoxPro and non-FoxPro). Is there any way to make this happen? The events that cause a window to be created are not initiated by user interface events so the user is likely to have the application minimized when an event occurs that would cause a window to be instantiated. Currently, the windows often "pop under" existing applications and I need them to pop over them. Thanks, Jeff Tag: Preparing to install Tag: 240134

    - WMI Hi All, I have been trying to use WMI to create a folder and share it during my post executable procedure in my installer. Basically the idea is that if a database does not exist and the user has designated this machine a the "file server", create a folder to hold the database, share the folder and create a new database in this folder. The problem is that most of the WMI code appears to be in C, VB and Perl. All of the scripts I have based my code on have language specific commands that don't readily translate to VFP. Here is my code as it now exists (tailored for test purposes). The code is still pretty rough. Running it through the debugger, some intellisense is available but this confuses more than it helps.

It seems I am only able to control the column count for the entire report. I need to have one detail band of the report print in two columns, the middle detail band in three columns, and the third detail band only one column. All of these have to be on one report with no page breaks in between each detail band. Is there another way to do subreports in VFP9 or are multiple detail bands the only way?

I've noticed that when I start the app and it is creating the necessary windows, there is a noticeable delay between each window that is created. It seems to create about 1-2 windows per second which to me seems kind of slow. Does anyone know if this is normal or if there is a way to speed it up? Each window has a TE Edit activex control.

    - Easy or hard?: Interface VFP desktop application with an internet application I deal regularly with a custom internet application that my nonprofit organization subscribes to. It requires me to input data manually and regularly and much of this is repetitive and has its quirks and difficulties. For instance, every time I enter a record I'm forced to enter the current time in two fields. The first field is the hour (e.g. 3 for a time between 3:00 and 3:59) and the second field is minutes (e.g. 59). The hour persists, but doesn't always update on time, forcing me to manually change the hour field. If I use my own VFP application to enter the data, I can have the time saved to my own VFP data automatically off the computer's clock, saving me the trouble of entering it manually, looking at the clock, etc. I can also supply data to my records driven by my own tables instead of having to enter it manually into fields like I have to do when using the web application. The problem from my perspective is getting the data from my own VFP tables into the browser form of the internet application. That application is written in PHP on a MySQL database. It has private access requiring a username and password. I don't want or expect to be able to automate the process completely, that's not the issue. I'd just like to make it reasonably convenient to enter the data into the internet application from my VFP data. I was thinking that I might be able to use a macro utility of some sort to grab the data from FoxPro and jam it into the internet form. I could inspect the form before saving data. I would certainly inspect the data online for errors, which is easy to do, as well as correct errors at any time. The internet application has an autocomplete function, but it can be rather dodgy and it's subject to problems with bad data entered by other people, something I have no control over. I'd rather use my own autocomplete functionality, driven by my own data. I'd use that on my client side VFP application when I enter the data, prior to "transferring" my data to the web application. Ultimately, the data would be stored on a server somewhere in MySQL, although I have data locally for my own purposes. How doable is this and what might I use to do it? TIA for guidance.

In the click method for a button I have code like: lcinstruct = ' ' do form B p1, p2, p3 to lcinstruct if empty(lcinstruct) messagebox("error happened") endif occasionally the empty(lcinstruct) will fail with "Function argument value, type, or count is invalid." due, I believe to the variable lcinstruct disappearing. In my error handler I do a list memory and in the list of variables lcinstruct does not appear in instances where the crash occurs however it does appear in other instances where I force a List memory to happen. The Unload routine of form B has a return lcinstruct statement. thanks pete Tag: Preparing to install Tag: 240016

    - Best approach? I've written a function that parses a search string and returns a 1D array for each word in the string. Such as, "PAINT SPRAY RED" would return an array of cArray[1,1]="PAINT" cArray[2,1]="SPRAY" etc. Now I want to issue a SELECT statement to search my inventory file Select * from inventory WHERE cArray[1,1]$descript AND .... (or several other fields may be searched) and so on... The problem is that I can't hard code the select statement because the function will create the number of elements for the array based on how many search terms are entered. I'm assuming a user defined function in the select to return the WHERE clause would work, but is this best? (or is this even permissable and will a UDF in a Select statement return correct results?) What would be the best approach for this? How do search engines like google parse the search string and then return the results to a cursor?

    - Report field stretching problems I have a report in which a field was changed from a small character field to a memo field. Some of the memo fields contain a good deal of text, so this field on the report needed to be changed to stretch: http://www.proudviews.com/RptStretch.jpg After changing the report field to stretch with overflow, setting the vertical lines to stretch with the band, and setting the line below the memo fied to float, here is the result: http://www.proudviews.com/stretch_new.jpg The memo field now stretches as desired, but the vertical lines are lost across a page break, and very oddly, a field set not to print repeated values is now showing repeated values.

    - systray class does not show systray icon in EXE Hello and thanks for the help. I have an app in VFP 9 in which I am using the systray class. When I run the app in the IDE, everything works fine. The systray icon appears and responds to mouse events. When I compile the app and run the EXE version, there is no systray icon. Is there a DLL associated with the systray VCX that I need to distribute? Thanks, Jeff Tag: Preparing to install Tag: 239945

    - Releasing Memory After Completion of a Process Hi! I have developed an EXE [in VFP 9] which the User is intends run to execute certain tasks (like importing, exporting data etc.). In order make use of this all the user does is set the task and the time which the task have to run. The EXE will be run in the background and checks [each 10 minutes] if any task have to be executed. If any scheduled tasks fall within current time range then the task would be run. This EXE is installed on Windows 2003 Server. Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is used as the back end. The issue I'm facing is whenever this EXE tries to execute tasks the CPU Memory usage of the Client's PC goes high [mostly up to 100% usage]. There can 100 thousand records or more involved in the import/ export at a given time. I've been under the impression that the CPU Memory usage goes when the EXE executing tasks is due to the high volume data and the memory would get released as soon as the process is over. But this is not case; the memory is not released once the task is completed execution. The CPU Memory is freed after very long time. At present this single EXE consists of all the data import/ export tasks. I'm planning to have multiple EXE's for each task where the main EXE would call the relevant sub EXE to execute a task. The main reason for me to come up with such a method is the expectation that the CPU Memory would freed / released immediately after the execution of a sub EXE. Can anyone of you help out with some suggestion as to how to over come this issue. Thanks in advance... Cheers... :-) Tag: Preparing to install Tag: 239942

    - Changing Window Behavior Hello and thanks for the help... Can I change the default behaviors of clicking and right clicking on a minimized window? Right now, as you probably know, clicking alternates between restoring and minimizing and right clicking pulls up a menu with restore, move, etc. I would like to use left clicking for my own purposes and have right click toggle between restore and minimize. Is this possible? Thanks, Jeff Tag: Preparing to install Tag: 239935

    - VFP 8.0 - How to handle this. I have multiple compiled .exes using VFP 8.0. Each one is called by a prg, calls the form and when the form is destroyed, clear events is issued. Now, I want to call each of these individual .exe's from another .exe. (a form acting as a main menu). But the problem is that when I run the individual .exe the entire app is closed because each .exe issues a clear events in the destroy event. I thought about creating a public variable when the main menu is initialized. Then in each individual .exe during the destory event, checking for the existence of the public variable. If it does not exist, then the destory event would issue the clear events and act as normal. If the public variable does exist, then the destory event would only release the form and return to the main menu. Is there a better way to handle this. I want to minimize changes to my existing .exes. Thanks, John Tag: Preparing to install Tag: 239925
