When this particular button is selected the control goes to the textbox (not in grid) & on lost focus event of the same I am making the grid visible. Uptill this everthing is fine. But in interactive change method again i am making the grid not visible. Problem starts now. Whenever i change values in the textbox (not in grid) & losing the focus. The complete settings of the grid changes. & original setting at the time of running the form is diturbed & colors as well as format of all the text goes off.

    - Memo field in a grid I am displaying a memo field in one of the columns of a grid (the grid is on page 2 of a 2-page page frame), however, I am not using a textbox object, instead I am using an editbox object. two weird behaviors: 1- If I click to edit the record, I can't type into the editbox to add or change words. All the properties settings are correct, things like READONLY is set to off, the column control is set to the editbox and not the textbox and the control source for the editbox is a memo field in my table. Although, I can select words and click into the editbox. 2- If the length of the memo is more than a certain number of characters (I think it is 256 or so), I get a message saying that the field is too long and the grid will not display (it disappears). Anyone has had that kind of behavior? And what is the best way to fix the problem?

    - Win XP Pro Colors I am having color issues in Win XP Pro. When on a Win2k box, the color for my command button is bright red/green (255,0,0/0,255,0) depending on whether an expression is valid or not. The problem is that in XP, the colors are pastel and on 2k the colors are the colors they should be. What is causing this and what can I do to correct it?

    - Textbox Height in a Grid I am using VFP8 and have a grid with its RowHeight set to 20 and which highlights the selected row. In Column2 I have a Textbox that is that column's CurrentControl. The TextBox's Font is 9pt Verdana. When the TextBox becomes active, the SelectedBackColor of the TextBox does not fill the entire row height in the grid so that part of the grid's selected row highlighting appears above and below the TextBox's SelectedBackColor. I hope this makes sense. Does anyone know of a way to have the selected cell not display any of the grid row's highlighted color? -- Jim D Tag: "Old Timer" question........... Tag: 203870

    - How to tell what index tags are actually used Hello all and thank in advance for the help. I have an app that I maintain which I inherited from other coders. There are some tables for which over 50 index tags have been created and I'm certain that not all of them are needed. I can certainly tell which ones are referred to in the code by searching for all of the instances of SET ORDER in the project but that still leaves me with over 30 that may be unnecessary. Is there anything I can turn on that is similar to profiling that will tell me which indexes actually get used? I suppose that I could always remove them one at a time and see if anyone complains that their report or query has gotten really slow but I would prefer a more intelligent approach. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks again. Jeff Tag: "Old Timer" question........... Tag: 203856

    - insert statements too slow?? Hi All, I have a foxpro master table, which consists of > 100000 records. those master records have to be copied to around 6 "children" table separately, according to their categories for example, records of "select * from master_table where category = 1" will copy to child_table_1 records of "select * from master_table where category = 2" will copy to child_table_2 ................ ................ ................ etc........... I was using the cursors to fetch the master table record one by one and insert into related child table, and i've found that it is very slow.

    - Automation Question for WORD I have an application in which I used Automation for WORD. This has been working for years beginning with OFFICE 97 and then OFFICE 2000. I recently received a message from someone who trying a trial version of the application who indicated he received a message that the program would not work with OFFICE 2003. There is nothing exotic about my usage of Automation -- it just opens up an existing WORD document and allows the user to edit and save it. Question: are there any known differences in OFFICE 2003 vs OFFICE 2000 which would require changes in using WORD Automation commands? I don't want to go out and buy OFFICE 2003 just to find out if it is a problem with the customer's installation as opposed to a real difference in the two products. TIA --E.

    - VFP9 report field alignment bug I have a detail band field in a VFP9 report (still running in VFP8 mode, no listeners or anything special) that evaluates to strings like "47/$123.50", "15/$50.00", "0/$0.00", "818/$3,996.00" etc. These strings are all fully trimmed and the report field is set to right justified, yet the those fields in the detail rows do not line up on the report preview - the right edges from one row to the next are misaligned by almost the full width of a zero. Fortunately, they line up much better - but not perfectly - when printed. Is this something I should report as a bug before release? To whom, and how? Maybe it's too difficult, or too late, to fix.

    - Multiselect Listbox woes I am again kicking myself for trying to use a multiselect listbox due to it's unreliable behavior. Here's my latest discovery: When the user selects, say 4 or 5 items in the list box using Ctrl+Click, then tabs to another control or clicks on another control, then tabs back to the listbox, all of the previously selected items are cleared. Huh!? How could this possibly be the desired behavior of this control? This happens in both VFP6 SP5 and VFP8 SP1. Haven't tried it in the VFP9 beta yet. Is the only way around this loss of user input to keep a separate array of the selected items, then when the control gets focus to re-select them? Then of course you have the hassle of the difference between tabbing to the list and clicking on the list... ugh. -- TRW _______________________________________ My e-mail: t r w 7 @ i x . n e t c o m . c o m _______________________________________ Tag: "Old Timer" question...........

    - VFP 6: Cut/Copy of Output I wrote a small test program which outputs to _screen. I decided that I would like to copy this to a file. Unfortunately, I can not cut/copy this text. If I send the output to a form, I can not cut/copy from there either. For this case, I can simply set alternate or I can output to a editbox, but I would like a more general solution to this problem. I have had this general problem in the past with other output. One example of this is the text on a message box for which neither the alternate nor editbox approaches apply. Yes, I can cut/copy as graphics, but is there a way to capture screen/form output text AS TEXT? I am not concerned if I lose graphics content: I simply want the text.
