    - c0000029 bug report sent to Microsoft This is the bug report I sent to MS, in case anyone wants to play with this. This is a Visual FoxPro bug about FoxPro Version (pick one): 8.0 SP1 Reproduces (pick one): always Hardware and Software Details: Dell opteron 2.6 GHz Celeron Windows 2000 Happens on other machines as well. Other Development Environments? yes If yes which? Visual Studio .net 2003 Steps to Reproduce: 1) First create a database, and put a table in it, put some records in it. CREATE DATABASE ZOOT CREATE TABLE ZOOT (Z1 C(10), Z2 C(10), CHANGE T ) INSERT INTO ZOOT (Z1) VALUES ('ZOOT') 2) Set record validation Rule - we want this procedure in the DBC to execute when a record is changed: setchange() 3) Create stored procedure in DBC called SetChange: PROCEDURE setChange TRY IF glSetChange REPLACE CHANGE WITH DATETIME() ENDIF CATCH * WAIT WINDOW 'An error has occured' ENDTRY RETURN .T. ENDPROC 4) Run this code: USE ZOOT SET STEP ON REPLACE Z1 WITH 'NoZoot', Z2 WITH BadVarName Notice that glSetChange is uninitialized. This is by design. Notice that BadVarName is undefined. In order to reproduce this error, you need a two part REPLACE, and the first one (Z1 WITH 'NoZoot') must be valid, and the second one (Z2 WITH BadVarName) must be invalid IE have a runtime error such as uninitialized variable or invalid table/field name, etc. Observed Behavior: I step through the code via the above SET STEP because if you dont, sometimes VFP will just hard terminate, poof and it's gone. If you step through it, when you get to this line: TRY IF glSetChange You should get a c0000029. It varies according to the code in SetChange, but it will consistently crash. If I change the code slightly , I can get c0000005, c0000029. I also get MS VC++ Runtime Library error, Buffer overrun detected error. The code I posted above seems to consistently produce c0000029. This, for example, IF glSetChange .AND. 1 = 1 seems to produce a buffer overrun warning, other variations produce a mismatched push/pop type of message. Expected Behavior: A trappable VFP error should be generated, not a hard crash. Additional Information: I can get a crash in VFP7 by using this code in SetChange: PROCEDURE setChange ON ERROR llZOOT = .T. IF glSetChange REPLACE CHANGE WITH DATETIME() ENDIF ON ERROR RETURN .T. ENDPROC Since VFP7 does not support TRY/CATCH, I use traditional error trapping instead. In VFP9 the same process generates a c0000005 error. Tag: newsgroup phrases & acronyms Tag: 205753

    - gibberish when printing in landscape VFP9 I have a very simple report, no calculations, no variables. Just simple fields. No report listeners. If I have paper orientation set to landscape and reportbehavior set to 90, the report is filled with gibberish. If portrait mode or reportbehavior is 80, it works fine. Obviously I have a workaround, since I'm not using report listeners, but I thought I'd ask whether others have seen this. I reported it already. Tag: newsgroup phrases & acronyms Tag: 205736

    - printers Hello, I am wondering if anyone else who has created full applications in FoxPro has come up with the dilemma of how many possible ways can an envelope be fed through a printer. I am the programmer of a billing software built in Visual FoxPro. I have a feature where people can print envelopes addressed to their clients. I have a report strategicly built so that the return address and clients address are placed in the positions where once an envlope is fed there envelope comes out correct. There are three different types of HP printers at the office that I can take into account, but what about the other brands? Is there a proceedure I can use that can give me how the specific invoice takes in envelopes? Or do I have to figure out all possible ways an envelope can be fed through a printer? If this is the case can someone direct me to the correct place to look this up? I have been unsuccesful so far. Tag: newsgroup phrases & acronyms Tag: 205727

    - firing the foxcode i've noticed that not only if we type SPACEBAR, but also typing the closing bracket ) will invoke intellisense. If one looks at the source code in XSource (in the FoxCode.prg), & places some code (preferably a messagebox in the DefaultScript() method, this will get displayed if you type ) Now, i want to know if we can control what characters invoke the foxcode. I don't want to be limited with only SPACEBAR & Closing Brackets. I a few other such key characters to invoke the intellisense (foxcode). Any ideas, any one???

    - debugger problem in VFP9 I hate to quibble, but... In the Trace window, if you hover the mouse pointer over a variable or field, you get a ToolTip window showing the value of that variable. A very useful feature! But new to VFP9, if the value is a string, what's shown does not include the string delimiters, ie quotation marks. That makes it impossible to differentiate between 12345 and "12345". And it's difficult to tell between "ABC" and "ABC ". Tag: newsgroup phrases & acronyms Tag: 205717

    - location of db in de I'm playing around with different scenarios, and found this. In this app, the database consists solely of a connection and remote views, and is located in a subfolder of the project folder called data\. The database is included in the build. Forms are built with the data\ database in their data environment. At runtime, I open the database (no path, because it's included). I was concerned that the forms would not be able to locate their data, since the data\ folder does not exist at this time (I renamed the original to prevent confusion). Yet the forms seem to work fine. Can anyone elucidate? Is this behavior documented? Furthermore, I put a button on a form to display DBC(), and it shows c:\... runtime folder\data\databasename.dbc, even though the data\ folder and databasename.dbc do not exist on disk. (They could be temp files somewhere, but that's not what is shown.) Any help explaining this as a general and reliable rule would be appreciated. Tag: newsgroup phrases & acronyms Tag: 205698

    - Update Word links Hi foxpro experts, Once again I turn to you for some advise :) I have some Word documents that have linked objects, something like this : {LINK Word.Document.8 X:\\Path\Document.doc \a \f O \p}. Word stores a path to there objects, but once I copy them to a new place, the path is broken, and you have to update them. You can do this by hand ofcourse, but I would like to do it from Foxpro. I found a forum that where someone was able to make a macro to solve this issue, but I don't know enough about macro's to turn it into Foxpro code. I know how to go through "Story's" in Word, but not how to update the fields in there. Does anybody have a foxpro example on this or some help ? the forum is at : http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=wrd&Number=261488&page=&view=&sb=&o=&vc=1#Post261488 thanks very much !

Ever since I collect memory variables from my input forms and update the tables field by field using the memvars.

However the code from the record that was selected the first time is executed - the .fxp appears to be in memory.

    - VFP7 cursoradapter tableupdate write order I have a situation where the order records are written (shown via audit triggers) is a bit odd. Basically I have code which updates 3 files via separate cursoradapters (buffermodeoverride=5) in one transaction. The cursoradapters can be Native or SQL Server. Cursoradapter 1 is scanned and updated 1 record at a time using tableupdate(.F.,.F.). Cursoradapter 2 is scanned and updated 1 record at a time using tableupdate(.F.,.F.). Cursoradapter 3 has a single record updated using tableupdate(.F.,.F.) Transaction ends The order the records are committed is as follows: All Cursoradapter 1 records except the last one updated. All Cursoradapter 2 records except the last one updated. Cursoradapter 3 record. Last Cursoradapter 1 record. Last Cursoradapter 2 record. Is there any way of getting the last 2 record updates committed before the Cursoradapter 3 record as it looks really odd in our audit and is bound to raise questions later? Thanks for any help.

    - VFP table lookup on a PDA Hi, I've got a fun new project, where people in the warehouse want to be able to key in a stockcode on a PDA and return data from from our central VFP tables about current stock levels and stock location over a wireless LAN connection. PDAs will be Windows Mobile based. I realise that native VFP apps won't run on these, but there are still a few different approaches to this - various web based ones, .NET apps, etc. I'm not sure which would be best, easiest or cheapest. (got .NET through MSDN as an option, but never had time to try it out seriously.) Is anyone running a similar app? Any pointers would be very much appreciated.

    - EXE size differs when I rebuild project. I have a project. I built the EXE about 2-3 weeks ago. This morning I build it again, and the EXE it produces is a couple hundred bytes larger. Nothing has changed, the project is kept in sourcesafe and I did a get latest into a clean directory. What would cause the EXE to be different in size when rebuilding it a few weeks later? I rebuilt it in the same directory structure, but my environment changed in that I have more mapped drives. I can't think of anything else that might have changed.

    - Comma Seperated String I was just wondering if there was a built in VFP function for converting a Comma Seperated String variable into an array. Or if there was any other function that dealt with a Comma Seperated String. I could make my own functions but if they already exist I would rather use those. -- Altman VFP8 SP1 Tag: newsgroup phrases & acronyms Tag: 205523

    - EditBox with .NULL. value Using VFP 6.0, I have an editbox on a form and everytime the control source, which is tied to a field in a table, is .NULL. I can not change/add any information in the editbox. Is this a bug with VFP6.0 and if so, is there a way around this? Tag: newsgroup phrases & acronyms Tag: 205522
