    - Printing labels? Hi All, I am trying to put together a simple label printing program but, of course, am having a small problem(s). I have my data setup following a previous post on relating views. I have a view with names and I use the selected name to then query another view for addresses. Each name may have more than one address. In the second view I select the address I am interested in and have defined a report with the layout that I want. Problem is that if I print someone with more than one address all their addresses are printed, not just the address I selected. Anyone know of any examples of how to do this? Or a better approach I should be taking? I thought about using scatter to an object but then I didn't know how to reference that object in the report designer. I'm thinking it is a scoping issue, I don't quite know how to make the scattered object global. To print the labels we have a fancy thermal label printer with 4" x 5" labels. I've only been using the print preview so I don't know if it will work for sure or not. With that in mind, is there anyway to hard code the printer so that the user doesn't have to select it each time? Also, we want to print only one label at a time, not a set of records, just the person and address combination the user selects. Hope all this makes sense and that someone can offer some suggestions. I'm using VFP 9.0sp1 btw. Thanks in advance, Linn Tag: The Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) program is no longer included with Tag: 236032

    - odbc, foxplus and office desktops apps When I create a standalone table via copy to ... type foxplus/fox2x, do all other office apps still use odbc to view the table or do some of them use old style direct file io? I ask because I'm rewriting an older app & the previous developer believes that the foxplus/fox2x tables can always be opened by other office apps regardless of odbc version/install issues. I find this difficult to believe. Anyone know for sure? -Lew Tag: The Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) program is no longer included with Tag: 236026

    - Collecting data in vfp vs fox2x I need to collect and sum data from related database, something I know how to do in fox2x based on the speed and efficiency limits of that platform, but would like to get input on (efficient) ways to do the same in vfp. Assuming a large related table with a handful of records meeting the relation scope, how would I best sum a (non indexed) numeric field field for the scope of the relation? here's what I assume would still be most efficient; select ordent &&parent onum = ordernum select orddet &&o2m child if seek(onum) CALCULATE sum(qtyord * price) while ordernum = onum TO otot *or sum (qtyord * price) TO otot while ordernum = onum endif select ordent goto recno() Thanks in advance, Beverly Howard Tag: The Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) program is no longer included with Tag: 236017

    - Old spr bug occurs when changing from VFP8 to VFP9 This is an odd one that I doubt anyone has encountered but I'll throw it out in case I get lucky: We have a large application (hundreds of screens) that was developed in the FP2.6 days that has been working fine under VFP8. For our next release we'd thought it would be a good idea to move the development to the latest version of VFP9 (SP1). We thought we got through the transition clean but now a strange problem has popped up. On quite a few of the old SPRs that were created with 2.6 where we have a list that is populated from a field the list is not being refreshed when the user selects to add a record (via a button). The code behind the button just does: APPEND BLANK SHOW GETS If you put your cursor in the list then it refreshes correctly and shows you the new record. What's odd is there is also a button that deletes a record. It has code that deletes the record and then does a "SHOW GETS". This button works fine. If I run the code in VFP8 it works as intended. If I then run it with VFP9 I get the quirky behavior. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, - Lee Blue Tag: The Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) program is no longer included with Tag: 236014

    - programing question Hello, I am sure I am asking a stupid one and maybe the answer is already out there, but when you don't know what keywords to search for that practically nulifies that. Ok so I have this filter that I want to make shorter: substr(Invlines.Product,1,3)='CAP' Or substr(Invlines.Product,1,3)='CCC' Or substr(Invlines.Product,1,3)='CCO' Or substr(Invlines.Product,1,3)='CDC' Or substr(Invlines.Product,1,3)='CDO' so I want to say in one line of code search the first three letters of this product and pull out all that have the CAP, CCC ... and so on.

    - Packing Code? Having just gone through a worst case scenario related to lost source code and noting another thread here concerning maintaining reference code, I'm wondering if there is any way to easily include a zip or other file containing an application's code within the application itself. Expanding on the thought, an option could be included in the utility menu to copy the file out to disk. At the moment, I'm uploading a zip containing the current code to the customer's site with each build but it would seem that an embedded solution would be preferable for a number of possible reasons. I've tinkered with simply including the zip in the project, but that does not seem to be workable. I note the "other" file category but havn't yet found how to directly manipulate that. The info on projects seems to show a lot of power, but nothing directly related to this type of need. Any thoughts and other solution approaches would be appreciated.

    - SQL Aggregation and .NULL. Mess On investigation of a bug in a report, it turns out that some work might not have any disbursements. Because I have been using inner joins to add columns to build up the report data, that work does not show up on the report. I have solved this, I think, but it is not nice. Where I join the various columns together and there is danger of .null., I have made the joins left outer, the resulting cursor readwrite, and follow by replaces like replace thing with 0 for isnull(thing) for each potentially-.null. column. You think this is a kludge, right? So do I. It is too easy to miss a case, and it is ugly. Is there a better way of handling these idiot .null.s? (I am quite aware that the sum of zero numbers is 0. A pity SQL does not understand.) (Yes, I could use set enginebehavior, but that is likely to bite if I have to have a VFP 9 SQL feature.)

    - Vista Solutions Hi. When running a vfp app in vista "aero" you get the missing borders on child forms and dropdown box items all get highlighted when using the mouse. If you run an app as administrator, the problem magically goes away. Microsoft obviouslly has the code to fix these display issues. Can they not just parse out the code that fixes the display problem and make it as another "compatibility" option. Surely the code involved can't be "dangerous" enough to warrant being run as administrator. I,m sure millions of apps could benefit from this. Is there someone who can be emailed the suggestion that would actually take it a serious look at it? Thanks. Mike Tag: The Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) program is no longer included with Tag: 235960

    - Help with buffered table I have 2 tables: in one of them I have the parents of the childs of the 2nd table. This means, I have a 1 to n relationship. Let's say, for key 'A' I have 3 childs A1,A2,A3. Table 1: primary key A primary key B primary key C Table 2: candidate key A1 candidate key A2 candidate key A3 candidate key B1 The candidate key in table 2 is to ensure that there are no double A1 or A2 o A3 or B1. Now I delete in table 2 the record A2 , and append from another table another record A2. This works fine as long I have no table buffering. But when I turn buffering on (in order to make it work within a transaction), I get "uniqueness of index .... violated" when I issue the APPEND command. What can I do? I don't want to update the record A2, I want to delete it and to append it. Walter Tag: The Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) program is no longer included with Tag: 235940

    - calling an external form from an executable I have a standard executable that I want to add a customised form to without compiling it into the executable.. This will be an external .SCX file. This works fine by adding in DO FORM MyForm.SCX as a menu option in the executable, ensuring that it does not get compiled into the executable. The problem occurs when MyForm.SCX calls another form in the Executable. It fails, complaining that it can not find the form in the directory. How can I get the external form to call a form inside the executable that is calling it? ie: My.EXE ---------> MyForm.SCX (external form in the directory) --------------------> My.SCX (inside My.EXE) Cheers David Younger Tag: The Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) program is no longer included with Tag: 235931

    - UPDATE - SQL very slow Yesterday I had 2 tables: table 1 has 5 million records, table 2 has 2.5 million records, both in dbf format. Both tables are free tables,i.e. with no dbc belongign to. The tables have no memo fields. I want to update the first column of table 1 with the first column of table 2. So I did: UPDATE table1 SET column1=table2.column1 FROM table2 ON table1.id=table2.id The whole process vas very, very slow (more than half an hour on a Intel D915 with Pentium4 3.00 GhZ), Then I thought it would be better to index both tables on the field id which is an Integer. Performance was still the same. Then I did it the old way: a little program with SCANning table1 and SEEKing table2, and REPLACEing and it was fast. How come the UPDATE - SQL command is so slow?

    - Printing .prg etc files In Foxpro 2.0 there used to be a way to create a special report format that could be used to print .prg files. If I remember correctly we modified or created a new report file that could be used to print the file with a header (etc) page numbers and the like. It seems that 9.0 has the report format included in the build and it is not possible to do the substitution. Is there any way to enhanse the printout format in VFP 9. If not does anyone agree this would be a nice enhancement for an update. Tag: The Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) program is no longer included with Tag: 235904

I've deleted foxuser.dbf and I don't start my exe under TS (Administrator) only as a TS User everything works ok. no foxuser.dbf is being created ? So why is foxuser.dbf created under Administrator and not as a User. but as a User it is still looking for it when it is created as Adminstrator ! The reason why it asks to overwrite it, is probably because the User has no userrights on those files create as Adminstrator ? Does this mean when a dbf or any other file that will be created with my exe run by the Adminstrator Users won't have access to it ? regards christophe Tag: The Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) program is no longer included with Tag: 235898

    - Exchange crash after promoting server to Domain Controller I did big mistake and i promoted Exchange server to DC. After that replication was not working - something wrong with "out of RID keys" and exchange services won't start. Than I did DCpromo and i uninstalled AC. Exchange still dead. My question is - can i reinstall entire server (OS + SP2 + Exchange + ExchSP1, setup other things like RPC over HTTP, OWA, etc.) and just restore edb files from backup ? Is it gonna work or it will crash ? I have MS instruction how to do it but it states "if Exchange was not on DC" - mine was on DC for a few hours(not operational anyway).

    - Grids and SET SKIP vfp7 ...yea... I know... but, the water's still pretty deep. As my forms are getting more complex, I need some guidance on how to handle a form with multiple related grids... the scenario; Form displays fields from the parent dbf (works fine) Bottom grid shows multiple rows from a related/setskip dbf (works fine) Top grid shows rows from the parent database and allows the user to browse the parent... ...works, but the top grid includes lines for each of the multiple "set skip" rows. I assume I can address this by using the parent "again" but wonder if there is a simpler approach to having the grid of the parent only show a single line per parent record?

    - Relating views? Hi, I'm running VFP 9.0 and writing a very small application that will simply print an address label. The backend is our SQL 2000 Server. I've written two remote views, one for the patient list and another for the addresses. Any patient my have more than one address and I want the users to be able to select the correct address. So I'm creating a form with two grids, one for the patient names and the other for the addresses. What I want is to select a patient name and have the associated addresses display in the second grid. I think I want to link the views in a parent-child configuration but I can't seem to remember or figure out how to do it. What is the best way to configure this setup?

    - File Type Execution When you double-click a file in Windows Explorer, explorer uses the extension to start a processor for the file. I would like to do that in VFP. I tried GETObject, but the results are mixed. Works fine for .doc, OK for .xls(file is hidden), not at all for .txt. Also, I will never have all the software users may want to use to process their file types. Can anyone describe the API calls that are required to use the file type to execute the processor associated with a file. Thanks for any responses.

    - preparing to install and TS Hi, Each time when my exe is run under Terminal Server some forms contain the MsComCtl2.MonthView control when opening there is a messagebox saying "preparing to install" and it's closing right away.

The new installation prints about 7 LPI instead of 6. This appears to be a function of the printer driver, not the printer. Is there any way to configure this?

    - How to get form on top? (VFP 9.0, sp1, XPP) I have a top-level form that runs a 3rd party Active-X control. This control works fine, but my calling form is moved to the back when the control starts, and after closing the control I have to move my form to the front manuallly. I have tried with different settings for windowtype and alwaysontop, but no success. I guess it would be possible to call a win32 function to get it on top again. How would I do that? (or is there a VFP way to do it?) Tag: The Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) program is no longer included with Tag: 235809

    - combobox question I am using a combobox to display a list of numeric values. Say for instance, say I want to display values -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. If I set BoundTo to .T., so that I can store the actual results of the user's selection, the DisplayValue gets blanked out, and zero is displayed when the negative values get selected. If I set the BoundTo to .F. I have to manage the list, which is an extra step I don't want to have to do. Is there something I can do to get around this or is this just a limitation I have to live with? Thanks Cathy Tag: The Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) program is no longer included with Tag: 235801

    - How to create activex object We are trying to access a class that is part of a dll. The VFP documentation just talks about declaring a function in a dll, but this is not a function. It is a class with properties and methods. The documentation also talks about ActiveX .ocx files, but this is a .dll. Normally I would use CreateObject, as follows: createobject('iatslinkv3_1.weblink') but this returns "class definition 'iatslinkv3_1.weblink' not found" (no matter how I type it). I can provide a link to download the dll if anyone wants to help with this. Thanks. Tag: The Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) program is no longer included with Tag: 235787

    - Selecting a blank cursor? Is there an easy way to select a "blank" cursor from a database? (vfp7) Looking for an easy way to create a single blank (disposable) table with a single editable record which can also be easily appended back into the database if appropriate. I know the 2.6 methods of generating blank editable cursors plus the array options, but asking, essentially, if anything to facilitate this has been visually added.

    - & Removal in Expressions I frequently build expressions for use in xBASE and SQL statements.

Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) is a Help program that has been included with
Microsoft Windows versions starting with the Microsoft Windows 3.1
operating system. WinHlp32.exe is required in order to display 32-bit help
content files that have the ".hlp" file name extension.

However, the Windows Help program has not had a major update for many
releases and no longer meets Microsoft standards. Therefore, starting with
the Windows Vista operating system release, the Windows Help program will
not ship as a component of the Windows operating system. Also, third-party
programs that include .hlp files are prohibited from redistributing the
Windows Help program together with their products.

Users who want to view 32-bit .hlp files must download the program from the
Microsoft Download Center, and then install it on their computers. Users
who have not installed this program on their computer will be directed to a
help topic in the Windows Vista Help and Support application. To download
