    - Can Win2003 restrict the rights to call a COM method? (C++ and simple component created by Visual FoxPro 6) Sorry, if it is not the right channel. However, I need someone who knows Windows, C++, COM and possibly FoxPro... Summary: We have observed a situation, when the application can create instance of the component but it fail when a method of the component is called. It happens when the application is executed on one specific Windows 2003 R2 Small Business Server. However, it runs on another Win2003 SBS without problems. Are there any rights that could restrict calling methods of components? Our application is written in C++ (MS VC++ 7.1, but does not use .NET extensions) and it calls a COM component that was created using Visual FoxPro 6. Both the application and also the component are compiled from our sources. The component is registered using regsvr32 utility in the simplest possible way. The application need not to be installed in any special way -- just executed. Here are the important lines from the C++ source: long GetAPSfoxVersion() { FOX::ItstfoxclassPtr spTstFox; // The instance was not created yet. long result = -1; // The value to be obtained by calling the component -- init. HRESULT hr = spTstFox.CreateInstance( __uuidof(FOX::TSTfoxClass) ); // THIS SUCCEEDS! ... _variant_t v(spTstFox->dllversion()); // THIS FAILS result = v.lVal; // remember the result ... spTstFox = NULL; // i.e. Release() the instance return result; } To reproduce the problem, I have created the bare-bone component (FoxPro) that contains only the called method, and the console application (C++), that calls the method and checks for the success/catch exceptions. The FoxPro source contains just the following lines. ------------------ DEFINE CLASS TSTfoxClass AS CUSTOM OLEPUBLIC PROCEDURE DllVersion() RETURN 1 ENDPROC ENDDEFINE ------------------ The complete FoxPro/C++ sources and compiled binaries can be downloaded from URL http://www.skil.cz/test/tstFoxDll.zip. I did not include the FoxPro 6 runtime and text dll (vfp6r.dll and vfp6renu.dll) to make the zip smaller (about 120 kB). The tstFox.dll must be placed to the directory where the vfp6r.dll is and then registered. You can use the regTstDll.bat for the registration. Then execute the tstFoxApp.exe. If it works, you will observe this: D:\Tools\tstFoxDll>tstFoxApp.exe tstFoxApp: Before the call. tstFoxApp: After the call. tstFoxApp -- version 1 press Ctrl+C ... However, on the nasty computer, you would observe the following: tstFoxApp: Before the call. tstFoxApp: Unhandled exception. SE_exception: code = 0xc0000005 (EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION) tstFoxApp -- version -1 press Ctrl+C ... It seems that Windows 2003 can restrict calling the component somehow. However, I am completely stupid in this area. We run such component and the application several years on say hundreds computes (servers and desktops) and nobody reported the problem. It could be the case that the problem is well known and they have better administrators to set the rights. Could you help, please? Thanks for your time and experience. pepr -- Petr Prikryl (prikryl at skil dot cz) Tag: about backup Tag: 227773

    - Killing a Process second attempt I posted a script a few weeks back which attempted to use WMI scripts to kill all occurances of an exe for a specific user. Unfortunatly if you are a User on Terminal server this fails with a C005 when attemptting to use the method to find the user of a process, and i found it next to impossible to trap this. So i went back to the Drawing board to try again. Now in my case the processes i am interested in are seperate executables created by a main process. I found that the following is possible. PROCEDURE kill_server LOCAL oWMI,cQuery,oEncoreResult,oEncoreProcess,oOtherEncoreResult,oResult,oProcess,oOtherEncoreProcess oWMI = GETOBJECT('winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}') cQuery = "select * from win32_process where processid='" +alltrim(str(application.processid)) +"'" oEncoreResult = oWMI.ExecQuery(cQuery) For Each oEncoreProcess in oEncoreResult && should be only one i know cQuery = "select * from win32_process where name='" +oEncoreProcess.Caption +"' and processid <> " + alltrim(str(oEncoreProcess.processid)) oOtherEncoreResult = oWMI.ExecQuery(cQuery) cQuery = "select * from win32_process where name='encorephoneserver.exe'" oResult = oWMI.ExecQuery(cQuery) FOR EACH oProcess IN oResult if oOtherEncoreResult.count = 0 && great no more encores oProcess.Terminate(0) else m.llisfound = .f. For each oOtherEncoreProcess in oOtherEncoreResult if oProcess.ParentProcessid = oOtherEncoreProcess.processid m.llisfound = .t. Exit endif next if m.llisfound = .f. && it has no active parent so try to kill it oProcess.Terminate(0) endif endif next Next endproc in my case the object i am trying to kill is encorephoneserver.exe. So the above finds the Caption of the current running process via the Application.processid. Finds all other processes of this type (i am running this prior to starting a new encorephoneserver for this process). and then finds all running encorephoneservers and compares the parentprocessid on it, to the processid's of the main application processes. if it's not found its an orphan, and we can call the terminate method. I have not completed testing this, and i suspect that Users on the terminal server will not be able to terminate processes that they did not start. however at least i do not get an error when i run the code which is nice. i will of course put up a posting if i have any problems on an extended test run. But i hope that people will find this useful as is. Tag: about backup Tag: 227766

    - How to remove print button on Print Preview w/ SET REPORTBEHAVIOUR 90? Hi all, Until now, I've been successfully use customize resource file to display the Print Preview toolbar without the Print button. Problem arise because in VFP9 (with SET REPORTBEHAVIOUR 90), looks like the ReportListener object takes control and disregard the toolbar settings. Question: Anybody knows how to easily remove the print button on Print Preview toolbar while running the report with SET REPORTBEHAVIOUR 90? Thanks in advance! Willianto P.S: Of course the easy solution would be SET REPORTBEHAVIOUR 80. Problem is, my client already sees how VFP9 render the preview window beautifully. See, most reports are using Draft fonts and printed on dot matrix printer. Thus, in the old VFP8, the preview looks miserable. Now, they want the nice looking _and_ the suppressed-print-button one. Oh well, you know, _clients_ :P Tag: about backup Tag: 227747

    - VFP9: Printer Margins And now, for the next stirring episode of "Gene Converts a Report to Allow PDF Output": I have now established that what I intend to be output is output, but somehow, it is not coming out right. Other printer output, even in VFP, works normally. I am wondering if there is a setting that I am missing. The guts of the printing (after setting printer and font) is: set printer on set console off ?? pagetext set console on set printer off pagetext contains a page of text. Naturally, it has embedded CRLF. I get crazy output. The text is indented about two inches on the first page which then line wraps nearly every line and takes two pages to output. My second page is indented about six inches! I decided to try breaking up pagetext into lines and printing line-by-line, and that worked. Am I overlooking something, or is this a nasty VFP bug? (It certainly has slurped up a bunch of my blood^Wtime.) (Once I have the buffering all working right, then it will be time for testing the PDF output. That was the whole point of this exercise in the first place. I hate large changes that can not really be tested until mostly complete.)

    - Order of records in a grid I want to allow users to set the order of records in a grid. I realize that grid order is based upon the underlying records, so I have a lineorder field that theoretically could set the order of the records. Changing that field should automatically reorder the grid. That would work, except that the grid is a child grid of a parent record. The parent is a purchase order. The child is items on the purchase order. To get the right child items, the order of the child table needs to be set to ponumber. But to get the record order correct, the index has to be set to lineorder. So I'm rather confused as to how this would be done, if it can be done. Any help would be appreciated.

    - Migrating dbf tables to SQL Server I am beginning to think about migrating my free tables to SQL Server. My idea is to use as many remote views as tables there are in the database. This means, that if in a program I have "USE table1" I will change it now to "USE view_table1 NODATA", and then use a REQUERY() to fetch the data of the parametrized view. The rewrite of code I think is minimal with this approach, and I have all the advantages of a client/server. Or mabye it would be better not to use remote views at all and use instead of them SQL pass-through sentences? Then at the beginning of the programm I would make a SQLEXEC(Select....) into a local cursor. And when transaction finishes, I would UPDATE the database from that local cursor (because there are 1 to many relationships). I would like to hear your comments on both approaches, since many of you have already done this migrating process. TiA Walter Tag: about backup Tag: 227728

    - VFP 9: Debugging: Checking Multiline Values I am in the last stages of a programming change, and I am getting unexpected results. I do not know why yet. Part of the awkwardness is that the values that I want to check are long multiline strings. These do not show well or accurately in the debugger. The pieces that I am concatenating seem to be correct, but somehow, the long strings are going pear-shaped. I do not know if the erroneous results I am getting are due to a bug of mine or an artefact of VFP's. What is a good way to interrogate the values of multiline strings?

    - I am having a problem tying a grid to a cursor. I started out with a regular database called labels.dbf. I open a form and on that form there is a grid showing the contents of the labels.dbf. I decided to use a cursor instead. I create the cursor in the load of the form. When the form opens it says it can't instaniate the labels.dbf cursor. How do you tell a grid to wait till the dbf is available? DO I have to create the grid after I create the cursor? Sounds like alot of work. Is there a way to have the grid on the form and then tell it what cursor to use after during the init or load? Tag: about backup Tag: 227711

    - More on Data Sessions for a Function Josh, Thanks. I've been playing and it seems that the following are true: CLOSE DATABASE will close table in the current session RELEASING a session will close the tables in that session DISPLAY STATUS will show you open tables in the current session DISPLAY OBJECTS will show you sessions (and other objects) Do I seem to have it correct? My functions that want private data should simply save the session coming in, create a new one, release the created session, and then restore the saved one prior to returning. I don't need to close tables. Releasing the session does it for me. Correct? Also, my SET EXCLUSIVE and SET DELETED seem to be preserved across datasessions created in code as you outlined so they do not need to be coded again when a new session object is created.

    - strange behaviour of form environment I have a form with three tables in the environment, standord, accounts, and utility. The INIT selects standord and creates an array which fills a listbox. This is OK and the form appears as it should, If I then SUSPEND and ? ALIAS() it tells me that utility has been selected. If I then SELECT STANDORD it tells me that standord does not exist. I have even made a temporary textbox which INIT fills with the alias in its last line, which show standord. But without any other action except suspending it, the table changes. There is nothing in the INIT which calls utility and there is no coding in ACTIVATE or anywhere else that I can find (for example in the class structure) which could select utility. Nowhere (until much later in the calling prg) do I remove standord from being used. Can anyone suggest what might be happening ?

    - Updating Balance Field Hi, Just want some suggestions on the following issues. I currently have a Balance Field in my Invoice.DBF that gets updated with every payment. In a multi-user environment, I encountered a problem when the balance field was updated by two different user, with both user entering different payment amount. The balance was incorrect because the calculation was based on the user that last saved the data. eg. Invoice amount : $1,000 Invoice Balance : $1,000 User 1 - Entered $400 as Payment User 2 - Entered $500 as Payment Both user was entering their data at the same time, User 2 being the last to click the save button. Invoice Balance : $500 (which should be $100 only) I really need to maintain the Balance Field so I could trace which invoice is still unpaid. There are times that the clients pays only the latest invoice so I could not implement a running balance on the program. Thanks for any ideas or comments you can give. Tag: about backup Tag: 227588

If two users are adding records in a grid, users A data may show on users B screen. I remember hearing somewhere this may be a bug. If it is, is it fixed in VFP 8 or 9. I am thinking this is a bug since the data is being filtered and the key value for the filter is different on both machines, also table buffering is involved here so why would one user see another users.

Is this a memory leak or is this normal? The only way to release this memory is to re-start this process. Some of the details are as follows... 1. My OLE, implementing the SAPI events, is session based. I have also ensured that all 'CreateObject()' based objects are made NULL before the object references are released. 2. I have created one Public variable that references a 'container' class based object. All the objects that are required for this SAPI (and created thru createobject command) are referenced thru the custom 'properties' of this container object. 3. The application uses CFG only for short periods but is in dictation mode for most of the time. Thanks Sati Tag: about backup Tag: 227581

    - Varchar mapping, varchars & sql I'm having difficulty with the following concept. Does anyone have the patience to explain it? Situation: I have a table in which all of the char fields are type varchar and my app runs with varcharmapping on and set exact off . When it comes time to run a few simple queries I get rows with blank values when the where clause compares one of these fields to a character literal like where extension = "PJX" I have already determined that I can get the results I expect if I change this to: where extension == "PJX" but I can't understand how or why comparing an empty column value to a non-empty string can return .t. since the command line statements: ? "" = "PJX" && -> .f. and ? "PJX" = "" && -> .t. both make perfect sense to me, but the query suggests that "" = "PJX" is true. (VFP9/sp1, enginbehavior 90 if that makes a difference). -Lew Tag: about backup Tag: 227574

    - Calling a form in a do while statement If I am calling a do while statement on a command button in the Click event and say I'm processing 6 records and I insert a case statement that calls a form based on a case statement does the do while stop at that point then continue after the form is executed or continue? I do make the form enabled=.f. before I call the new form. How can I control the program code if at all if it does not stop? Thanks -- Rusty Gallo OGES Systems Tag: about backup Tag: 227572

    - setup in genmenu.prg: grrr! I have a prg, setup.prg, which I run at the beginning of every application. Every now and then, however, the nasty, little setup function in genmenu.prg runs in it's place. I haven't a clue as to why this happens. Genmenu's location isn't in my path statement and I don't have any rogue set procedure statements. Any ideas? -Lew Tag: about backup Tag: 227552

    - Porting FoxPro 2.6 Windows app to VFP 9 I can find references to porting to VFP 6 but not with VFP 9. I guess it is not very common. I wonder how much work is involved? Does anyone have any experience with this or can offer a suggestion on what to watch out for? Thx, Long Tag: about backup Tag: 227549

    - Can I Intercept List.Click Before Pointer Moves VFP9 When the user clicks in my list (object), the record pointer changes and the new record is displayed just fine. Here's the setup code for the list: WITH .List1 .ControlSource = 'Jobs' .RowSourceType = 6 && 6=Fields .RowSource = 'Jobs.ModelName' ENDWITH Is there some event that occurs after the click but before the record pointer moves? Here's why I ask: I want to "intercept' the Click event and/or the Up/Dn arrow keys before the pointer moves so I can detect if any changes were made to the original record. I tried code in the InteractiveChange & Click events, but it seems these events occur only AFTER the record pointer moves to the new record. I also tried using the Valid event, but Valid doesn't seem to fire at all. I eventually kludged it to return to the original record to detect the changes, then back to the newly selected record, but I feel there must be a better way. Is there? Steve M.

    - Update query on an access database I am trying to run an update query on an access database from FoxPro, and I keep getting the error: Too few parameters. Expected 1. I can connect to the table and run a select with no problem. The query I am running is: retval=SQLEXEC(ODBChandle,"update [addresses - MASTER LIST] set zip='&tmpVal' where idnumber=2879") I have tried just about every combination of brackets and quotes that I can think of. I have also tried hard coding a value instead of using a macro. Nothing works. Kevin Clark Seton Home Study School Tag: about backup Tag: 227545

Hi qaiserme:

I think you can find some tools on Universalthread.com and my be useful.

Go to www.universalthread.com, click on the Downloads link, and choose
Visual FoxPro as the forum. In the Summary text box of the query page,
search for "ZIP."

I hope this helps.
