    - How to Terminate a VFP COM DLL I have a VFP 9 COM DLL which is working fine. However, whenever I go to replace the DLL, I need to run IIS Reset to remove it from memory. I cant rely on the calling application to neatly remove it. I have put a timer into the DLL to check for a shutdown trigger but I am not sure how to shut it down properly so that it is removed from memory. If it was a VFP app, I would use omething like Cancel or Quit. Is this the same for a COM DLL or is there some other way. Cheers David Tag: VFP to .NET Resources Tag: 220546

    - More SQL here is my code, as you can see i am running these in 2 queries. and then into a report. my report references the queries TOM AND TOM1. the problem is this, when i run the report, whch ever query is first, only shows the first record oover and over. is there any reason for this? i know that the number of records found could be more in one than the other..could that be the issue? SELECT AGENCY,DEPT,COUNT(*); FROM newmem ; where empdate between gomonth(checkhdr.procdate,-1) and checkhdr.procdate AND INLIST(dept,24,34,35,38); Group by 1,2; into cursor TOM1 SELECT AGENCY,DEPT,Count(*); FROM newmem ; WHERE empdate between checkhdr.procdate and gomonth(checkhdr.procdate,1) AND (INLIST(dept,24,34,35,38)); Group by 1,2; INTO CURSOR TOM report form f:\lopvfp\newmem\listing.frx preview Tag: VFP to .NET Resources Tag: 220531

    - Syntax error in remote view? Hi, I just spent yesterday and this morning defining a remote view on a SQL database. It was working fine until I just tried to reload the view to modify it. When I try to modify the view the view designer gives me a syntax error followed by a "View/Query designer is unable to reload your changes. Would you like to rebuild content from designer?" If I say, Yes, it gives me a blank designer screen and if I select No, it displays the SQL code but it's incomplete. If I run the view it works still even thought the designer is blank. Help! How can I recover my work? How can I tell what's wrong with the syntax of the view and why didn't it warn me when I created the view? VFP 9 sp1.

Could somebody help me with a problem: When chaining different reports in VFP9 into one printout I'm not able to get printed a range of pages picked by PROMPT dialog (it always prints all of pages). I'm using of course NORESET NOPAGEEJECT keywords etc. When prompted from print preview to print a range of pages - it works.

    - unexpected slowdown with many indexes I have a local view with about 20 fields. For sorting purposes in a grid, I have created an index tag on most of the fields. My problem is, some operations become amazingly slow when all those tags exist. For instance, a simple COPY TO can take 30 seconds, even though the view has at most a couple thousand records, and usually far less. If I delete the index tags, operations are as quick as they should be.

    - Utility to protect VFP6-9 executables from decompilation Hi, all and especially Josh Assing I have improved protection mechanism of beta version of Defox so it uses different keys for each protected file. So, if you know how to unprotect one protected file, it doesn't mean that you know how to unprotect another protected file. And I believe, that it is sufficiently difficult to create general unprotection utility. Limitation: Every file included in exe must be less than 16Mb Limitation of beta version: All protected programs will start with the messagebox stating about protection. This messagebox will be removed in the final release. Caution: few functions in protected executable may return different result, so force program to work differently. These are Program(-1), Sys(16) and may be some else. Except this, protected program must work absolutely the same as original. The utility is written in VFP6, so if you have VFP6SP5 runtimes, you may download only executable (~240Kb) www.grada.lv/defox/defoxb.exe If you don't have runtimes, you may download install package (~3.7Mb) www.grada.lv/defox/defoxb_setup.exe All feedbacks both negative and positive will be greatly appreciated.

    - Differences between .exe and development version I recently compiled a large project and have noticed some problems with differences between the .exe and the development version. 1. I get an error when calling createobject() saying that the class is not found. This doesn't happen in the development version. I know the class is available because once I call a form that has that class built-in, then the error doesn't come up any more when calling createobject(). 2. I have a special key that I trap in a form's keypress method. The keypreview property is set to .T.. It works fine in the development version, but is totally disregarded in the .exe. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Rick Tag: VFP to .NET Resources Tag: 220496

    - Stopping a "report sequence" Hi -- - I have a non-interactive sort of program that issues lots of different reports in a sequence. Is there a key or key sequence that can be used to abort the sequence (50+) of reports? In other words, stop the program in its tracks? - Repeated use of the ESC key does not stop the sequence. On the other hand, I don't want to use the ON ESC command in the program because I need the ESC key to "release" individual reports along the way that are not needed or for which there are no data. - Thanks for any help. - David Tag: VFP to .NET Resources Tag: 220475

    - VFP6 .dbc Validation Errors It is nice to finally have FK RI working. This leads to the next questions which deal with error recovery. 1) If a column constraint is violated (error 1582), I get back a text message, but the column name would be nice, too. (Yes, I could simply return the column name and look up that in an error message table, but I am hoping for something simpler.) 2) Is it possible to find out which trigger failed? If I have a table with two FKs, how do I tell which is wrong? In this case, there is no unique text returned. Even getting the column name would help. (If I violate the uniqueness primary key constraint, error 1884 returns the column name. I want something like that here.) 3) Is there any guarantee of which order the constraints are checked / the errors are thrown? If not, what has been your observation of the order?

    - Compiler Error I've compiled my application, and gotten rid of all of the compiler errors except one. I have a report that uses an external array in the fields, and the compiler reports "myarray UNDEFINED". I have other forms that use external arrays, and I simply put an EXTERNAL command in. But I don't know where I can place an EXTERNAL command in a report so that it doesn't come up with the compiler error. The report works just fine, but there is just something about seeing the "0 Errors" at the end of your compilation. Rick Tag: VFP to .NET Resources Tag: 220412

    - Exe Problem I just compiled my project into an .exe with vfp9/sp1. I installed it on a server. The application runs fine on that box. However, I wish to run the application on the workstations.

When I click on the shortcut on the workstation, it just beeps at me. Clicking on the .exe in Windows Explorer produces the same results (or should I say, non-results). What am I doing wrong?

    - TableValidate question I've been having some read errors in files over the network and I saw that someone suggested setting TableValidate to 0 for no validation. The help file, though, says the following about TableValidate: "You must first open the table exclusively before using the SET TABLEVALIDATE command." I don't understand what that means because you can open a table in shared mode after your set tablevalidate to 0. Does it mean that TableValidate is ignored unless a file is opened exclusively?

    - Database Design and Key Fields Hi All, My table design's usually takes this kind of format. LookupTable nUniqueID N 10 cCode C 10 cDescription C 40 where nUniqueID is automatically updated by my code when a new record is added and is unique to that table. cCode is unique and added by the user, cDescription is just that, any old description. I'd then have a transaction table for example TransactionTable nUniqueIID N 10 cCode C 10 otherfields again nUniqueId is unique to that particular table, cCode however, is the link to cCode in the LookupTable. This design has worked well for me for more years than I care to remember. However, one customer now wants cCode in the lookup table not to be unique. Not a major problem, just modify my code to store nUniqueID from the lookup table, rather the cCode. My question is basically, how do you guys design your table's for this sort of scenario. I appreciate that I could use nUniqueID from the lookup table instead of cCode, to store in the transactions table, but for support purposes, it just seems easier to - BROWSE FOR cCode = "A001" rather than nUniqueId = 123487 Cheers All Justin Tag: VFP to .NET Resources Tag: 220330

    - Publishing Fox Web Services Hello all: in WinXP/Fox9/IIS (client) and Win2003/IIS6 (server). I am trying to get web services working and having trouble. The web service works sucessfully (locally) on the client computer. I have two questions: 1. When I am publishing the web service from the Task Pane, in the "advanced" tab there is a "namespace" page. What are these fields for and how should they be filled in? Is it necessary to modify these to make the web service work? 2. After publishing locally, I copy the .dll and the .wsdl and the other files over to the server. In IIS on the server, I go to "web service extensions", add the .dll as a web service and select "allow". I verify that IUSR_computername has read/excecute access but I receive timeout errors when trying to run the service from clients. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

    - App focus is lost on startup I have a VFP6 app that loses focus when it is first started. If I start it from explorer, explorer retains the focus If I start from a shortcut on the desktop, with no other apps open, its seems that nothing has the focus (no function keys do anything and alt printscreen does not clip anything) The app starts with some code that opens a form which is set to run as a top-level form in the desktop, the code then waits at a read events statement till the form is closed. In the init of the form I have tried setting focus to the user id text box - but this focus is only scoped to the app. Does anyone know what might give rise to this behaviour or how I can reset focus back to my app. Thanks John D Tag: VFP to .NET Resources Tag: 220289

    - Remote view / cursor oddity I just ran into something that I don't understand. VFP 8 SP1, although I doubt that matters. With nothing open in the data environment, open a remote view: USE track IN 0 ALIAS track_curs * At this point 'track_curs' is the only thing open. * The following statement apparently reads data from track_curs, * since when it completes there is no alias 'track' open. SELECT * FROM track WHERE ... INTO CURSOR xxx * At this point 'track_curs' and 'xxx' are open. * Likewise, the following statement inserts into track_curs: INSERT INTO track ..... If the initial USE is removed, the SELECT will silently open the remote view 'track' and leave it open, and the INSERT will insert into that remote view, which is the expected behavior. Is inserting into the alias when the remote view name is used the expected behavior? It seems wrong to me. Tag: VFP to .NET Resources Tag: 220282

    - msword merge with foxpro table Hi, I've made a "msWord template" with multiple collums and a connection to a foxpro table. which works fine. I've then set up a loop to alter the Word template and "saveas" with different tables contents. which also works fine. But, and here it comes, I use OfficeXP my client uses Office 2000 ? Each time the template opens and tries to connect to the table (in the background) the template ask which type of table it is, and the my client as the option to choose Dbase or Foxpro table ! Can this be done programmatically ? Or can somebody translate this to foxpro readable code and that it can be used with Office 2000. This is what the macrorecorder told me : ActiveDocument.MailMerge.OpenDataSource Name:= _ "C:\PROGRAMM\sst\data\rpt\10000.DBF", ConfirmConversions:=False, ReadOnly _ :=False, LinkToSource:=True, AddToRecentFiles:=False, PasswordDocument:= _ "", PasswordTemplate:="", WritePasswordDocument:="", _ WritePasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, Format:=wdOpenFormatAuto, _ Connection:= _ "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Password="""";User ID=Admin;Data Source=C:\PROGRAMM\sst\data\rpt;Mode=Read;Extended Properties="""";Jet OLEDB:System database="""";Jet OLEDB:Registry Path="""";Jet OLEDB:Database Password="""";Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=18;Jet OLEDB:Data" _ , SQLStatement:="SELECT * FROM `10000`", SQLStatement1:="", SubType:= _ wdMergeSubTypeAccess thanks in advance regards christophe -- \|||/ (o o) ----ooO-(_)-Ooo------------- Tag: VFP to .NET Resources Tag: 220275

    - The record pointer is always to the bottom of the table after Upda In Asian language setting Windows (please see http://www.vfug.org/Newsletters/Newsletters2.Afp?!_1360S63NLDate=09/01/2003#mmd), if you run Create Cursor Customer (customer_name c(10)) Insert into Customer (customer_name) values ("IBM") Insert into Customer (customer_name) values ("Microsoft") Insert into Customer (customer_name) values ("Oracle") Update Customer set customer_name="Google" where customer_name="Microsoft" Select Customer Browse Close All You can see the record pointer is to the bottom of the cursor. But in English setting Windows, the record pointer is to the second line. One of my clients is using Chinese setting Windows. They get unexpected results from my VFP-based application. It is normal? Is it possible to make the record pointer to the updated line rather than the last one? Please advise. TIA. Tag: VFP to .NET Resources Tag: 220270

I keep trying to play with the .NET stuff and get incredibly
frustrated with most everything. Are there any resources out there
for a silly Foxpro guy that wants to learn .NET? I usually try and
learn a new Development environment by rewriting an existing
application, and I get slammed real quick in .NET [2005].

For example, is there a cross reference somewhere that says:

To Edit a PageFrame in VFP, right-Click->Edit. In .NET its a
TabControl and you get at the properties in a much different way.

I really do keep trying this offering from Microsoft, and I ain't
impressed. Seems like things have gotten much more difficult.
What happened to the KISS philosphy?

Thanks for any advice

Hi Jacob,

Look for "Visual FoxPro to Visual Basic .NET" by Les Pinter, and "Microsoft
.NET for Visual FoxPro Developers" by Kevin McNeish and Cathi Gero at major
online bookstores.
