    - doEvents Does anyone know of a better method than fastDoEvents() to get the DOEVENTS command to process correctly? I am running with VFP 8 and even with using the FORCE option I am still having problems when embedding the webbrowser control onto forms. Essentially the system will do nothing until I move the mouse around which I think forces the events to fire. Tag: opening cash registers Tag: 224123

    - VFP 9 Report Designer Is it only my machine, or has anybody else experienced this. (using reportlisteners to preview/print ), The labels keep disappearing in Preview I have to include the table in the Datasession window, even though it is in the DE, to be able to pick fields from the Expression builder. Deleting an object refreshes the whole screen When doing multiple bands, the tables have to be related, even though the form calling the report has the initial table with corresponding paramatized view open. Only tables and no views in my experience... The bands have the view name in quotes as target aliases Get an error ".... is not related...". Cannot figure out "commandclauses". Listeners do not respect While or For clauses of the Report Form, Need to print only one parent record with multiple child records in 5 paramatized views. Kludgy as hell Sending email using successor listeners is erratic, on some machines it works perfect others the html report is out of whack Lines and labels not properly sized etc. All examples and the Pundits make a big deal about conditional formatting...cutesy red and blues etc... In the real world who gives a S.... I would rather be able to control output without having to write a convoluted program Wondering if its worth it. Why not make the report designer like a form, its kinda the same principle, both with a table in the backend.. Just drop classes, controls etc.. Now in this crazy world of specialists, a new breed of Report specialists is all we need. Tag: opening cash registers Tag: 224106

    - Outlook Email Automation I am trying to write an unattended email module for sending out notices using a timer based on certain conditions. I'm using Outlook 2002 SP2 and VFP9.0 SP1 and outlook redemption v4.1 to bypass the security check. All my emails keep getting routed back to my inbox as "Not Sent".

    - something similar to shortname function in filesystemobject I have got a table of items, and I need to produce a unique but recognisable 8-character descriptor for each one. The problem is that the items might be so similar that the first 8 characters are the same. Is there a way of generating a 8-character descriptor like this. I am imagining something similar to the shortname function in filesystemobject to get a result like this: Widgets white (Widget~1) Widgets black (Widget~2) Acme (Acme) General (General) Grommets small (Gromme~1) Grommets large (Gromme~2) etc Many thanks Stephen Tag: opening cash registers Tag: 224091

After connecting and doing a SQLExec "select my_id from test_table" the resulting FoxPro table will have a field length of 11 for the field my_id.

A few questions: 1 - Does VFP6 have a separate runtime for inclusion with client applications? 2 - Should I update to VFP9, or would my current 6 be easier for me to re-code, since my programming skills still are back there with Foxpro 1?

    - time function Hi all, What is the best way to define a field in a table to contain Time? should it be a character or datetime? also, once it is defined in a table, how is best to utilize that field in a form? like what input mask should it have and how do you stop the user from entering an invalid time? Is there a control (or does anyone have one?) that could be dropped on a form that is already validated as a time field?

    - finding procedures in a procedure file I came across some odd behavior today, and would appreciate feedback on this. To demonstrate the issue, create two files: File 1: zoot.prg Procedure zoot =zoot1() set procedure to =zoot1a() return File 2: zoot1.prg PROCEDURE zoot1 WAIT WIND `ZOOT1' TIME 1 RETURN PROCEDURE ZOOT1A WAIT WIND `ZOOT1A' TIME 1 RETURN Then in the command windows, DO ZOOT. It does the zoot1 wait window as expected. Surprisingly, it also does the zoot1a wait window. Why? I added the SET PROCEDURE TO line to clear any open procedure files, thinking that DOing zoot1 did an implicit SET PROC TO ZOOT1, but it still works. CLEAR PROGRAM stops it from working. Is this an undocumented feature? I was not aware that DOing a PRG file would load make all procedures in the PRG available, even after the top level procedure was exited, and therefore no longer in the call stack. We also discovered that suspending VFP would clear it from memory, as if VFP arbitrarily clears such stuff when it wants to or thinks it needs to. Tag: opening cash registers Tag: 224031

    - Chado spell editor and mailmerge A post elsewhere had me asking about recordsets for use with Chado spell Editor, which now works. However mailmerging with the Chado spell-editor is proving rather troublesome, and whilst their help file is good, it doesn't cover vfp <sigh>.

    - Strange printing with reportBehavior to 90 In VFP 9 SP1, i've an invoice report containing - title - header - group header - 1 detail band - group footer (with new page) - page footer - summary (with new page) When i print it with reportBehavior set to 80, it works fine. (It works for many years !) When i print it with reportBehavior set to 90 - page 1 is correct - page 2 to n-1 have a blank space above (+- 5 cm) and the content seems to be vertically condensed - last page is correct There is no special code in the reportListener. Just created from the base class (VFP ReportListener, not the FCC) Any idea or tool to solve this problem. Thanks in advance, Guy Tag: opening cash registers Tag: 223998

    - Which one is better option ? I am using Visual Foxpro 8.0. In my application i have two panes, on left pane i have product categories and on right pane respective products are being shown. Currently i am using FILTER command to show respective items. But it is getting slow and slow as data is increasing. Right now i have more than 10,000 records in products table and system is not responding quick enough. There is another way to do same job using INDEX command with FOR condition. Before going in any optimization work, i would like to have your expert opinion which option can work better for such kind of requirements. OR any other new suggestion. Thanks in advance.

    - Connecting to remote VFP database using ASP We are having a difficult time connecting to a Visual Foxpro database located on a remote server using ASP. It is a security issue because the web application can connect if the database is located locally on the web server. When we point to the remote database and run the code, the application cannot find the location. We tried everything in the Microsoft KB article located at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/175801/en-us but nothing seems to help. Our connection is through an ODBC System DSN that uses a UNC path to the remote database. Any advise or help would be appreciated. Tag: opening cash registers Tag: 223966

    - Copying a Database (DBC) Is there a trick to copy a database from one directory to another? I am trying to set up a test area for a system on my computer. I have duplicated the file structure for the drive on which the DBC is located. I have copied the files for the database and the tables in the database. I have used the SUBST command to map part of my drive to the same drive letter as the DBC is expecting. But it doesn't work. The Validate database command shows errors for just about every table in the database. For most files it says: "Table is not in a database." If I use modify database and then click on a table, it says "Cannot resolve backlink." Is there anything I can do short of recreating the whole database from scratch?

    - Foxpro 2.6 Error 1104 Hello Everyone, I've been searching through all of the posts here about error 1104 and can't seem to find a solution that has worked for us. First off, we are not using Terminal Services or Citrix. The apps are being run on each local machine, accessing data files on a Windows 2003 server. The network is mostly gigabit with a few of the machines still using 10/100 cards. So far we have tried the following: - Disabling antivirus on both server and workstation - Disabling all automated backups - Changed from Foxpro 2.5 to Foxpro 2.6 - Set CATMAN = OFF We have an error control program that is currently working around the problem, but it is more of a band-aid as opposed to actually fixing the problem. Whenever the 1104 occurs, the error control program logs it to an error file and then tries again. The second try has worked every time. Lately, the error occurs mostly on the SEEK command, but has occured during the USE, APPE, GO, and SKIP commands in the past. We changed one of the apps so that instead of using a CDX file, it uses an IDX file. We have not had an error with that program since then. We ran a simple disk check on the server and did not find any errors, but we have not had a chance to run a more in depth disk scan due to the number of users that are dependant on using the data. We have checked the cables and NICs, recrimped cable ends, etc and we can't seem to find any problems with any of the hardware, but we haven't ruled it out completely. If anyone has any ideas, we are open to all suggestions. Any and all ideas are welcome. Thanks, Ben Jitima bjitima@gmail.com (304) 525-3293 Tag: opening cash registers Tag: 223914

    - Issues with menus Hi, Running VFP 9.0, trying add a menu to my application. I have created the menu, added three pull down items, File, Reports and Help. In the File menu I put a Close option to exit the application. Here's the setup: Prompt: \<File Result: Submenu Options: Key Label: ALT+F Key Text: ALT+F Container: Left Object: None Pad Name: File Menu Level: File Prompt: \<Close Result: Bar# _mfi_quit Options: Key Label: CTRL+F4 Key Text: CTRL+F4 Skip For: .F. (I tried leaving this blank originally, same result either way.) Resource: _mfi_close (I tried _mfi_exit too, didn't work either.) Also, in the general options for the menu I turned on Top-Level Form. In the Init() of my form I have: DO menus\mainmenu.mpr WITH THIS, .F. (Tried .T. too) Form.ShowWindow = 2 - As Top-Level Form. When I run my application the menu appears like I expected except the Close option is greyed out. I can't seem to find any property settings to adjust this, any ideas? Is this the default state of a menu option and do I have to control that in code somehow at run time? All I'm trying to do at this point is be able to exit the application. The other thing I want to do is include an About item in the Help menu, what's the best way to do this and be able to display the version number of my application, not just the version of VFP? Beyond that I'll want to add some items for reports but I suspect those will be easy once I understand these first issues better. Thanks in advance, Linn Tag: opening cash registers Tag: 223905

I need to have at least as much image quality as the windows thumbnails view and, hopefully, more functionality. The image control (VFP9)'s resolution is terrible, imo. Inexpensive and/or public domain would be a great help, too. Recommendations? -Lew Tag: opening cash registers Tag: 223875

    - Just an observation In some of the Microsoft magazine adds you see a guy at a desk and just behind him a bookcase. The bookcase shows various flavors of development tools in colorful retail boxes. How hard do you think it would be for Microsoft to slip a VFP box into that cabinet with the other tools?

    - Exception Code=C0000005 from upgraded VFP app Hello all. I just upgraded my distributed app from VFP 6.0 SP5 to VFP 7.0 SP1. The upgrade went very smoothly. I did a clean install on a users computer and all is well. I then installed it over the top of the old program and got the C5 error. Any idea what files were not properly replaced with new ones. I recompiled all my classes and project files so I don't know where to look next. Thanks for the assistance. Cory Bonalllo Retail Service Developer Tag: opening cash registers Tag: 223854

    - No Disk in Drive Error All, My application is VFP8 and installs via Installshield VFP limited edition. Just recently when users install the application they have been getting the following error: programname.exe No disk in drive. Insert disk in drive E Cancel Tryagain Continue I thought it may have been because a CD was in my CD drive when I built the application (exe). I have built the exe again with nothing in my disk drive and distributed it but the error still comes up. Of note: My project is on my E: drive but has been their for years and years and I have never seen this before but it makes me think it may be related. One client has three Windows XP Home edition comptuers and this only does this one one of them.....Does anyone have any ideas of what to look for?

    - preventing file display on status bar Hi; I thought I saw this post a while ago but can't seem to find it. Under VFP8, Is there a way to have the status bar on (I like to display the clock and ins/del) but not display the currently open file? Any help appreciated. TIA.

    - Reading user name Hi, I'm running VFP 9.0 and I've built my installation program using Instalshield Express 5.0 and it works fine. But I'm wondering, when I install the application it prompts for User Name and Company Name, is it possible to retrieve that information from within my program? Not during the installation but during normal application use. I tried sys(0) but that returns the logged in user if I'm not mistaken. Now that I think about it, the logged in user name would probably be a better way to go but I'm still curious about the answer to my original question. Thanks in advance, Linn Tag: opening cash registers Tag: 223848

With serial port, you could use MSCOMM32 activex object to do it. Or you
could shell to command prompt and "echo string_to_eject_drawer > LPT1:".

Hi Rusty Gallo:

You should also check the manufacturer of the cash register to see if they
have an ActiveX control that you might be able to use in VFP to accomplish
this task.

I hope this helps.
