    - How to get and use large file sizes in VFP8 and GetFileSizeEx() I am writing a program that must list and manipulate a large file filesise. In the past I have used the Adir() or api calls of FindFirst and FindNext to retrieve the information. Now, I have run into a problem for the first time. Since I need to list in a table field, large numbers that exceed the capacity of a 4 byte integer. When I test using large > 4 gig, ".avi" file, the values obtained by all the functions I have tried are incorrect, showing - 2 gig or some other incorrect value. I know this is because the number exceeds the storage type capacity. I have used 8 byte doubles but the routine I have still will not work. I have tried using the following API call in Kernel32 GetFileSizeEx BOOL GetFileSizeEx( HANDLE hFile, PLARGE_INTEGER lpFileSize ); Parameters hFile [in] Handle to the file whose size is to be returned. The handle must have been created with either the GENERIC_READ or GENERIC_WRITE access right. For more information, see File Security and Access Rights. lpFileSize [out] Pointer to a LARGE_INTEGER structure that receives the file size. Return Values If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero. But I cannot get it to work in either VFP8 or in a C DLL I wrote. Can anyone help with a routine to get these large files sizes into a program. There must be a way since many commercial programs do this. Any and all help appreciated.

    - Report Hi all, Can someone 100% confirm me that I can print two+ reports on one a4-size paper, all reports printed on same side in vfp8? If that is true, I am considering upgrade from vfp7 to vfp8. Currently, I need to generate two invoices on an a4, both on same side, same direction, I hardly found that can be done in vfp7 (well, it does not allow two seperate sets of page header and group header on one paper). My solution will be generate a *.prg, and using command like "eject paper, @row, @col print ..." to print the invoice out. Any other good solutions advise? Many thanks.

    - Mapping Software My name is Charlie Parker and I'm a Project Manager for Fowler Software Design LLC (www.fowlersoftware.com). We develop custom software for clients. I'm currently working on a project for a client named Dupree. Dupree runs a call center for non-profit organizations like Vietnam Veterans of America (V.V.A.). When anyone wants to make a donation of items like clothing, toys, etc. to V.V.A., they call an 800 number that directs them to Dupree. A person at Dupree enters the donor's information (name, address, phone number, items to be donated, pickup date, etc.) into the computer system. Then each night, the computer system at Dupree faxes a list of scheduled item pickups to the various outlets across the US so the outlet can then send out a truck to pick up the items. Currently, Dupree gets about 25,000 calls a week, but with the new system, they hope to expand. A feature we would like to add to the system is the ability to show the Thomas Street Guide page and section for each address on the pickup that gets faxed to the various outlets. Most of the outlets already use the Thomas Guide, so adding this info to the pickup list will save them the time of trying to find the page/section. Thus, what I need is a program that has an API or OCX interface that when given an address anywhere within the US will return the page number and section for that address if that address is on any of the Thomas Guides. Is such a program available? Thanks. Charlie Parker cparker@fowlersoftware.com Tag: Report to file - suppressing blank lines? Tag: 187782

    - I Want To Create a Newgroup-like forum and poll the membership. Hi FoxFans, I know this question is not directly related to Foxpro, but I figured this is the most likely place to get ideas. I am a board of director for a very large Homeowners association (8,000 members). I want to set up a newsgroup-like forum where the membership can constantly communicate and exchange ideas the same way we do here on the fox newsgroup. I want to allow access to members only so I can shut off anyone who is rude. I don't want to code this myself unless it's a last resort due to time constraints. Does anyone know of an off-the-shelf software that would acommplish this? The whole goal here is to create an atmosphere where members can voice their opinions about anything from the comfort of their own computer. I would also like to have a feature where I can routinely poll the membership to see how they feel on a variety of issues. This is a very high priority for me, so I greatly appreciate any feedback.

    - Re: Install Problem with FPW26a Application Thank you Lee!!! After I read your response and answered it, I took a look at the Start Menu\Programs folder and sure enough, I had one entry that was 56 characters long. This entry was not too old but I can't say when it was installed. I truncated that one and tried my program setup again - It WORKED!! I also tried setup via the Start Menu Run command and it worked too! I sure don't understand what the Start Menu has to do with it if I don't use that folder but it makes a difference. This also explains why only one other (and myself) have reported this problem after years and installation by hundreds. Do you know the reason for this strange behavior? I sure would be interested in knowing. Many thanks again - it could have taken me years to stumble on that one - if ever.

    - string to integer? Is there anyway to convert a field saved in a db as a text field into an integer? i have a field thats padded by 0's on the left so you have numbers like 0000345, but the way they are stored in our db is just by the number 3-45 (with a dash) i have the dash removed in the select statement, but i need to remove the padding zeros from the other one to compare them... normally you can do that with integer conversion... but foxpro doesn't seem to like converting string numbers to integers? any help would be nice.. thanks!

    - VFPOLEDB returning "Cannot update the cursor" Hi all, (And sorry for the double post for any .NET group readers) I'm trying to write to a VFP table from a .NET program using OLE DB. It returns 'Cannot update the cursor "cursor", since it is read-only.' The table is not open by any other source at the time and it wasn't flagged as read-only in the OS. I'm pretty ignorant when getting into OLE DB. Is there a setting in the driver that could be causing it? If so, direction as to where to address it would be great!

    - Install Problem with FPW26a Application I've got a real problem with a FPW2.6a program and I could use some big help on it! This is long but I don't know how to shorten it, sorry. Here's the problem: I have a program that has existed for many years and is downloaded over the internet. There have been a number of upgrades made and is currently on version 4.1. The program has been installed by hundreds of different people and more times than that by me personally with no problems. Yesterday I got a message from a new user using WinXP. He said he could not install the program and got the following error message during install: "An error has occurred in your application / If you choose Ignore you should save your work in a new file / If you choose close, your application will terminate." The error window within the FPW install window is titled "DSHELL". What I've done: I tried to install the program and I too got an error. On a Win98SE machine the error read similar indicating a problem with DSHELL. The "ignore" button does nothing. After using the "Close" button, the machine exhibits a "not enough memory" error if I try installing again without resetting the computer. I tried to install an older version of the same program and now get the same error (when I had installed from the same install files many times before). I re-setup the program within FPW26a and then tried another install. Got the same failure. As of now, I can not install any version of the program. I did a complete virus check on the machine and there is no virus. I know that the install program's setup.lst file shows, under [Params] section, that DrvModName = DSHELL but I do not know the significance of it. It seems to me that maybe one of the dlls that get installed by the FPW26a installer is bad and for some reason (?) replaced the one I had on my machine. This would have to be one of the old FPW era dlls since common ones would be dated much later and should not get replaced. I tried removing some some of these old dlls and replaced them with ones that came with FPW26a. Now I get a different error that "Bind time error. 'SPAWN' not found in specified library" before I can get to the original error. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Ray Tag: Report to file - suppressing blank lines? Tag: 187679

    - FoxPro Interop Okay, A foxpro programmer I am not, however...I wrote a class in vfp6. In this class I wrote a procedure that accepts three parameters. I compiled the dll. I wrote another app in VB6 that uses this class. Almost everything works. My only problem is with my parameters. I am trying to pass them by reference but I can't get it to work (and not sure that it will at all), does anyone have any thoughts on this? Could someone give me a template of how I would pass parameters by ref? I have seen the @ sign used, but I can't seem to get that to work...may be it's because I'm using vfp6... Thanks in advance.

On one machine in our office when we run a report to a
file, blank lines seem to be getting suppressed so that
the page footer appears up beside the detail line with no
gap. All the other machines are fine so I presume it must
be a windows/printer setting. Can anyone give us a clue
what we should look at?:)

Thanks
Bernie

Hi Bernie,

The first thing to try is reinstalling the printer drivers on the problem
machine. Do all the other machines have the same OS? Do they all print to
the same printer?

Hey Bernie,

Just a longshot, but are all running the same version of VFP? We had an app
that removed all blank lines when run in VFP7 that did not do so under VFP6
on the same machine.
