    - Add money to your Paypal account with OPRAH Hlt8* Read this message until the end, and you will find out how the money flows in easy !!!!. Follow the steps and it WILL work. Trust me !!!!!. It's NOT illegal and it is NOT a scam !!!!!. PROVEN ON OPRAH! Reported in the Wall Street Journal!!!! The only thing you need is : - E-MAIL ACCOUNT - PREMIER (FREE) or BUSINESS PAYPAL ACCOUNT - $6 on this account (The only investment) - 30 minutes of your time There is no limit on how much money you can recieve, and you haven't got anything to lose with this Business program. I will explain how it works !!!!!. Follow these 4 easy steps and it WILL work !!!!!. STEP 1 : SIGN UP FOR A FREE PAYPAL ACCOUNT !!!!!. Paypal is a free and safe way to pay and receive money on the Internet. Creating a account is as easy as creating a MSN account. Copy and paste the next line in your Internet browser and sign up. HTTP://WWW.PAYPAL.COM Be sure to sign up for a FREE Premier or Business account and not for a Personal account. You cannot receive CREDITCARD payments with a Personal account and we can't have that. Do we !!!!!. STEP 2 : SENT $6 TO YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT This is your only investment to receive the money with ease. With your Paypal account, send $1 to each e-mailadres listed below. !!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!! Be sure to use this SUBJECT : *PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST* when you send the money. 1) martine@pilote.net 2) dexxatol@netcourrier.com 3) armygirl8568@hotmail.com 4) comjii@starband.net 5) sinnek@bellsouth.net 6) nsi@nelasat.com STEP 3 : PUT YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST After you have send $1 to each e-mail address, put your e-mail address on the 6th place. Remove e-mail address number 1, and move each e-mail address 1 step up the ladder. !!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!! BE SURE THAT THE E-MAIL ADDRESS YOU USE IS THE SAME AS YOU USED TO SIGN UP AT PAYPAL. Remember that this is LEGAL. You are creating a service : an e-mail servicelist. STEP 4 : UPLOAD OR COPY THIS MESSAGE TO NEWSGROUPS, FORUMS ETC AND EMAIL IT TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS! There are 32,000 newsgroups. Upload or copy this message to at least 200 newsgroups or forums etc, but ........ remember that the more your upload the more people will see your message and the MORE MONEY WILL FLOW IN. How to upload to newsgroups and forums? : After you have followed step 1,2,3 and 4, save this message (and copy so you can use it again). Use your Internet browser and Outlook Express or another newsreader and try to find FORUMS, NEWSGROUPS, BULLETIN BOARDS, DISCUSSION GROUPS, CHAT SITES and ONLINE COMMUNITIES. Use GOOGLE or use a NEWSERVER. Use every option to post this message. Download PostXpert to send 1 message to more NEWSGROUPS at the same time. !!!!! REMEMBER !!!!! The more you post this message the more MONEY WILL FLOW IN. Why does this Business program work so well !!!!!. Lets asume that from the 200 (or more) messages that you have posted, only 5 people respond, you will have your $6 back that you have invested. Those 5 people will each send at least 200 messages with your e-mailadres on number 4. That's 6 x 6 x $1 = $36. The next 25 people will also send 200 messages with your adres on number 3. That's 36 x 6 x $1 = $216. The next 216 people also send 200 messages with your name on number 2. That's 216 x 6 x $1 = $1296!. Those 1296 people again also send 200 messages with your name on number 1. That will give us a total of 1296 x 6 x $1 = $7,776. Now the last tier! 7776 x 6 x $1 = $46,656!!!!!! This is only a EXAMPLE with 6 reactions. You WILL get MORE responses than that. Remember that most newsservers will leave the posted messages on there servers for about 2 weeks. If you will post your message again, it WILL again start from the beginning. So you can repeat this over and over again. Everyday MILLIONS of people are ONLINE and reading these messages, JUST LIKE YOU RIGHT NOW. I also was sceptical in the beginning and have read a lot of these messages. I also thought that it was bullshit. Until I thought : What the hell!, only $6. What's $6 and a couple of minutes of my time to solve my money problems. !!!!! REMEMBER !!!!! Follow every step, and IT WILL WORK, TRUST ME. !!!!! !!!!! BEST WISHES AND GOOD LUCK !!!!! w)O>+;)<9UVS;F>qaGL<Uq#v`V6(F]- rM;$g+!4IIQ*827?H4 Tag: strange behaviour - MODIFY FILE Tag: 225860

The file is on a Netware server and it's possible that several users have the file open at the same time (not exclusively of course).

Hi, I'm developing multiple projects in VFP 9.0 and I'm wondering if it is possible to have a shortcut on my desktop that launches a specific project in the development environment?

    - print with word97 I have an exe I think was originally created in vfp 5 , has been upgraded to 8 and then to 9. It creates a word document and populates it with variables created in same exe. The problem is it will only print correctly if word 97 is the only version of word on the computer running it. The part that doesn't print properly is a variable that uses chr(13)+chr(10). The newer versions of word do not have the carriage return . Only a space. I don't know what to look for ? thanks sherry Tag: strange behaviour - MODIFY FILE Tag: 225843

    - The buffer overrun problem I encounted. It's the projecthook class. If I unhooked it, nothing would go wrong. If I ever tried to hook it up again, it would keep crashing even if you unhooked it after a failed compile. It seemed that the project builder would remember something that could bring about the crash. I believe my codes in projecthook.beforebuild and projecthook.afterbuild are clean and simple (mainly about hacking the report forms). Even if I just added some comments into these 2 events, the compile would still crash. -- .~. Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. http://www.linux-sxs.org / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

    - Need URGENT help with interactivechange with 2 combo boxes I am unable to change selection in 1st combo box when I try to clear the value of the 2nd combo box in the interactivechange area. Here is a little better explanation: I have 2 combo boxes on my form. Both combo boxes get populated using a select statement. Everything worked fine until I decided that I want to clear the value of the second combo box if the first one changes to force the user to make a new selection so I put this in the first combo box in the interactivechange event: thisform.cmbBox2.value = "" Now when you try to change the selection in the 1st combo box, the 2nd combo box does get cleared, but the first combo box doesn't change like it is supposed to. When I remove this line from the interactivechange event you can change the 1st combo box and the new selection appears. What am I missing? Is there another way to force them to make new selections in corresponding comboboxes when one changes the primary one? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

    - Damaged/Corrupted DBF I have a corrupted .dbf file that can not be opened. What are my best options for getting this file repaired? The file does not have a .fpt associated with it. I know there are many utilities that can be purchased, but which one. I can't believe Microsoft hasn't included a utility to repair damaged files within VFP. I don't like the thought of paying $199 for a utility that I almost never need. I have this one client that seems to come up with a damaged file every six months or so. Any clues of why this is happening? They are running the application off of a Citrix server, meaning it is accessed via Citrix and actually loaded on the Citrix server. I have many apps that have been running for years and years without any corruption? All my apps are running on file servers? VFP9 / Windows XP Tag: strange behaviour - MODIFY FILE Tag: 225738

    - Keeping Focus in a TextBox I have a textbox at the top of a form and a grid below. I want to stay in the textbox and enter data - hit return and update the grid - and then go right back to the textbox. Don't want to leave it until I click out of it. I use valid to test the data in the textbox and return(.t) just after updating the grid. If not valid I return .f. and tell the user and the focus stays in the textbox. I want it to stay there even if I return .t. Return .t causes focus to go to the next object. I don't want that. When the user is done entering data and updating the grid data then they can click out of the textbox. Using VFP 9. XP Pro. Any Ideas would be very appreciated.

    - Table Sorting / Indexing VFP9 I want to sort a table by the 'Group' C(20) and the 'Total' N(12,2) fields . How can I sort the table by group+total. There many duplicate groups and within the group I want it sorted by total. The totals range from .01 to 100.00. Thanks Tim Tag: strange behaviour - MODIFY FILE Tag: 225645

    - Insertion point, active window highlight: not I've got a situation in which the vfp insertion point is not visible and the title bars of active windows are no longer highlighted. This has nothing to do with set cursor or sys(2002), but it *may* be related to the fact that I have a large number of tables open (aprox 110) and some of those tables have a large number of fields (eg 250) with an index tag on about every field. Has anyone else seen this? -Lew Tag: strange behaviour - MODIFY FILE Tag: 225639

    - Using F2 to emulate a button click I have a button on a form with the two lines: DO FORM frmFindRef TO dlcRef dllReturn = thisform.FindPersonbyRef(dlcRef) I want to set up function key F2 so that it emulates the click of this button. I have tried ON KEY LABEL F2 but of course I can't put a reference to THISFORM.CMDBUTTON.CLICK() so I am not sure how to go about this.

    - export memo fields to excel COPY TO with XLS/XL5 seems to ignore memo fields. The only way I've been able to copy memo fields to Excel is to use CURSORTOXML, then import the xml file into Excel. Is there a simpler way? Tag: strange behaviour - MODIFY FILE Tag: 225618

    - Sturcutres in VFP for API declaration In addition to my earlier post i want another help. Some APIs require structure types in VFP what can we use for structures Fox Example.. in Visual Basic we write code like ''''''''''''''''''''' Private Type abc tmpName as String tmpId as Long End Type ''''''''''''''''''''''' This above declaration i need to do in VFP, in-case of adding this functionality in my VFP program rather than accessing through DLL.

VFP8 SP1
I have an error handling routine I would like to popup a box that the user
can type into to say what they were doing at the time of the error. The file
is then emailed to us.

When the MODIFY FILE command finishes I get this message "Session number is
invalid" repeated many times CANCEL IGNORE & HELP buttons are available,
cancel fixes the problem and the email is generated.

cReasonFile = TRANSFORM( INT(rand()*10^8) ) + ".txt"
STRTOFILE(CRLF + CRLF + CRLF + "[Please include a brief description of
how the error occurred]", cReasonFile)
MODIFY FILE (cReasonFile)
*** Seems to occur here after the Modify completes but before the
fileToStr() executes.
cReason = FILETOSTR(cReasonFile)
ERASE (cReasonFile)

If I use the debugger to step through the code the problem doesn't occur.
The only way I have been able to determine where the error occurs is through
"wait window ..."

Any ideas - I am stumped, it could be the error being reported is wrong.

I wouldn't use the modi file -- instead use a form to pop up & then email the
problem....
