    - row(), col(), top, and left Hello All and thank in advance for the help. I'm sure that some of you know that you can use both @ SAY and ? inside of a window for writing information. The functions Row() and Col() also continue to work in VFP so that you can tell where in the window you are. My question is: Is there a way to convert the values returned by Row() and Col() into values that will work for the Top and Left properties of a control. I've tried the assumption that a 25 by 80 character window is translated into a 640 x 480 pixel window but things aren't going where they belong when I use: oObject.Top = Row() * 20 oObject.Left = Col() * 8 I could probably figure this out by trial and error but if there is a formula or algorithm that someone knows I'd appreciate hearing about it. Thanks again, Jeff Tag: thisform.release() not working Tag: 190865

    - DBF and DBT extensions I exported a table from MS Access into a DBF. It has 2 fields, one of which is a memo field. I'm going to have to import the DBF into a FoxPro database on Monday. When I exported, MS Access created two files, a DBF and a DBT file. What is the DBT for? Am I going to have issues when I try to import into FoxPro? I did a search and it appears the DBT is contains the memo field which could make some sense. The DBF is 5K and the DBT is 205K. Does the import process automatically look for the DBT file in the same folder? thanks! Tag: thisform.release() not working Tag: 190858

    - Indirect Object Reference Suppose I need to dynamically create a series of objects and set their properties at run-time. What is the syntax I would use. For example lets suppose that under certain conditions that might occur while I'm scanning a database, I would like to create a label on a form and set its properties. For convenience (and uniqueness) I'm going to name the objects based on the record number in the database. Please help me filling what I'm missing: SCAN IF <condition occurs> obname = alltrim(str(recno())) thisform.addobject(obname, "Label") * here is the part that I don't know the syntax for * I need to set the top, left, width, and caption of this label that was just created. * the name of the object is contained in a variable * a "c like" approach would be something like thisform->obname.top = 5 but I doubt that is correct ENDIF ENDSCAN Thanks in advance Jeff Tag: thisform.release() not working Tag: 190848

    - AOL, Yahoo, and Microsoft Instant Messaging Does anyone know of / have experience with libraries or ActiveX controls for instant messaging? It appears to me from a brief search that there are several available for Microsoft IM but I haven't been able to find any or AOL IM. One ActiveX control I found from LionKnight Software appears to support IM, File Transfer, or String Transfer. These would all be very useful to me. Does anyone have any experience with this product. They mention VFP support explicitly in their website which is always a good thing to see. Thanks. Jeff Tag: thisform.release() not working Tag: 190844

    - import into memo field I live in an MS Access world. I need to import data into a FoxPro DBF table. I got the following feedback from the creator of that table. Before I get into this, is there anything special I should know? Will an Access memo field export to a DBase III DBF file and import into the FoxPro DBF memo field without issue? ------------------------------------------------ The problem is going to be that Foxpro sees the Memo field in that DBF as a true "memo" field. That is, you can not import or enter data directly into that field. It has to be imported as a MEMO type in fox pro. ------------------------------------------------ thanks!

    - Fox with VB6 Error.. or not?? I am currently trying to insert a line into a foxpro table using VB6. When I run the insert statement, no error is generated but the line is never inserted. Also, If I open the table and then try to insert, there is still no error (I would expect one since the table is opened by me at that time). Does anyone know what might cause this? I am certain it's in my code because if I make a simple VB app that does nothing but insert this, it works fine. John Tag: thisform.release() not working Tag: 190815

    - VFP and SQL I have a customer, whose network I support. Windows SBS2K server (Dual P4 xenon with 2 Gigabyte ram) with 5 W2KPro (P4 2.0 or better w/512 meg ram) workstations. They are using a Visual Foxpro application, database loaded on server, application loaded on workstations. The users have noticed that as more clients log on to application the performance slows. 500 megabyte database. When 1 or 2 users are accessing the program they both are satisfied with the performance. As additional users log on to application performance slows. Most complaints are in look ups or finding records (maybe the index takes to long) The program vendor is suggesting that my customer upgrade to the SQL ($7500.00)version of the program. Will upgrading to SQL make that much of a difference? Any other suggestions? Thanks for any feedback. explore@removethis@man@hotmail.com Tag: thisform.release() not working Tag: 190804

    - Ken Levy's March 2004 Letter from the Editor From http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/letters/ March 2004 Letter from the Editor There are many exciting announcements in this month's letter, so we'll dive right into the details. There is life on Europa... Visual FoxPro 9.0! Announcing here formally (insert mental drum roll here)... the next version of Visual FoxPro from Microsoft, code named Europa, will be named Visual FoxPro 9.0. Visual FoxPro 9.0 is scheduled to be released during the second half of this year. Announcing the official name of the next version of Visual FoxPro now will allow upcoming articles, conferences, events, etc. to freely use the name Visual FoxPro 9.0 instead of the Europa code name. Oh, beta! This coming June, Microsoft will release a public beta version of Visual FoxPro 9.0 on msdn.com for anyone world-wide to download and install for free! Life is like a box of Visual FoxPro 9.0 We have recently started the process with the packaging and branding group within Microsoft to create the product box for Visual FoxPro 9.0. It is very likely that the screen shot used on the back of the Visual FoxPro 9.0 box will be of the enhanced Report Writer. For the Visual FoxPro 8.0 back-of-the-box product highlight listing, I was unable to convince the team that we should include a bullet item for the return of the Puzzle: ACTIVATE WINDOW Puzzle FoxTalk Reloaded FoxTalk has been in existence for many years and is a great technical resource for FoxPro developers. I was a contributing author and editor of FoxTalk during the early days of GenScrnX and the new object-oriented features of Visual FoxPro 3.0. The publishers of FoxTalk, Ragan Communications (which acquired Pinnacle Publishing 15 months ago), have recently been making some big decisions concerning FoxTalk. After talking with the FoxTalk team at Ragan, we've come up with a plan to make the publication better than ever. FoxTalk welcomes to the team David Stevenson who is an experienced technical editor. Additionally, FoxTalk will now include a monthly column submitted by the VFP team at Microsoft called "Tips from the VFP Team", to give an insider's view of how to get the most from VFP. Along with the editorial changes, Ragan has decided to offer a new lower subscription rate! Ragan has confirmed with me that all of these changes will begin with the May 2004 issue of the publication now called FoxTalk 2.0. While Microsoft will be contributing monthly to the FoxTalk 2.0 publication, editor David Stevenson and the FoxTalk team will of course make all of the decisions regarding content, editing, etc. For example, if the VFP team suggests an article on the FoxPro "Puzzle", they may decline for other content readers would prefer to see. You should expect to see articles in FoxTalk 2.0 submitted by VFP team members as well as the top FoxPro authors world-wide. Stay tuned for more information about FoxTalk 2.0 and visit to subscribe at PinPub.com or renew your subscription today to show your support for FoxTalk while obtaining great upcoming Visual FoxPro content. The June issue of FoxTalk 2.0 will be dedicated exclusively to articles and information on Visual FoxPro 9.0 to complement the upcoming free public beta download on msdn.com. The May issue of FoxTalk 2.0 will include more details from the editor on the plans for exciting upcoming issues. Hocus pocus, more CoDe Focus David Stevenson, while previously working at EPS Software, worked with the VFP team on the special CoDe Focus issue for Visual FoxPro 8.0. The VFP team is currently working with Markus Egger at EPS Software on another great CoDe Focus issue for Visual FoxPro 9.0. That special issue is scheduled to be released and given to attendees at Advisor DevCon in Las Vegas, September 29, when we launch Visual FoxPro 9.0. The Visual FoxPro 8.0 issue of CoDe Focus, as well as a new issue on the topic of Office 2003, can be found free online at code-magazine.com/focus. FoxPro books in your FoxToolbox.com The online e-commerce store FoxToolbox.com, owned by DBX-Technologies, is a great resource for obtaining Visual FoxPro, Visual Studio .NET 2003, and MSDN Subscriptions as well as third party add-on products for Visual FoxPro. Our friends at FoxToolbox.com, including Jim Eddins, are busy working on plans to create, publish, and sell Visual FoxPro books on the upcoming release of Visual FoxPro 9.0. David Stevenson, the new technical editor for FoxTalk 2.0, is working part-time with the folks at DBX on their Visual FoxPro book publishing plans. The Eight FoxPro wonders of the world Yet more exciting news in the FoxPro community is the fact there will be eight conferences world-wide this year focusing on Visual FoxPro. DevEssentials - June in Kansas City, MO DevTeach - June in Montreal, Canada Praha DevCon - June in Prague, Czech Republic Advisor DevCon - September in Las Vegas, NV SouthwestFox - October in Phoenix, AZ Germany DevCon - November in Frankfurt, Germany PortalFox Conference - November in La Coruna, Spain OzFox - November in Sydney, Australia Take one Tablet PC with VFP and call me in the morning Later this month, we will be posting a new whitepaper on msdn.com called Creating Tablet PC Applications with Microsoft Visual FoxPro written by Mike Stewart of the VFP team. This new whitepaper will complement the article by Markus Egger of EPS Software in the July 2003 issue of FoxPro Advisor Magazine entitled Build Tablet PC Applications with Visual FoxPro. For more information on Microsoft's strategy with Tablet PCs, refer to the ZDNet article called Microsoft swallows tablet concept whole. In case you missed it, Visual FoxPro was recently mentioned in an article on InternetNews.com called Small Business Embraces the Tablet. AccountMate of the Month Last month in San Francisco, Softline AccountMate introduced a new interface to its software line at Evolution (its reseller conference). I spoke at a general session to almost 200 attendees, most of whom were FoxPro developers who have not yet upgraded to Visual FoxPro 8.0 but who plan to do so soon with the new release of AccountMate 6.5. It was stressed in AccountMate's keynote presentation that Visual FoxPro 8.0 played a significant role in AccountMate's new version 6.5 release. Most people (including the press) at the conference were amazed what AccountMate has done in the user interface using Visual FoxPro 8.0. The event made the news for Accounting Technology , which has 30,000 readers with 3 times that via pass along rate. AccountMate and AccPac are now both owned by the same parent company, see the article Best Strikes Again. A case of FoxPro identity We have several new case studies highlighting solutions based on Visual FoxPro 8.0 submitted to the case study team at Microsoft which are currently in the process of being posted on the Microsoft web site. These case studies will be targeting non-developers such as IT managers, decision makers, and executives. When the upcoming case studies on Visual FoxPro 8.0 are added to the Microsoft case studies web site, we will also make sure that the proper announcements go out about them in various Microsoft newsletters such as MSDN Flash, just like what occurs for Visual Studio and other case studies announced. Stay tuned for these new Visual FoxPro 8.0 case studies to be posted, and when they are, we will include links to them on the Visual FoxPro home page. Don't get blogged down without weblogs The new VS Data Team's WebBlog will have regular entries from VS Data group manager Alan Griver, myself, and others on the VS Data team, which includes the VFP team. The list of Microsoft employees and teams with their own weblogs is growing weekly at blogs.msdn.com. We encourage FoxPro developers to consider creating their own blog to discuss FoxPro related topics. A great example of a FoxPro related weblog is Craig Bernston's FoxBlog. For FoxPro developers adding .NET Framework programming to their toolbox of knowledge, read Rick Strahl's WebLog. For more generalized geek topics, check out master blog commander Robert Scoble's weblog at Scobleizer. For more Visual FoxPro resources in general, check out the listings on the Visual FoxPro Dev Center at Related Communities for Visual FoxPro. March to the beat of the FoxPro drum Here are some calls to action for all FoxPro developers to consider. It is important to not only say thanks to the vendors and sponsors within the community, but to also be active to show your support. Upgrade to Visual FoxPro 8.0 via product or MSDN at FoxtoolBox.com. Subscribe to BOTH FoxTalk 2.0 and FoxPro Advisor. Attend at least one Visual FoxPro conference this year to learn about Visual FoxPro 9.0, make contacts with other Visual FoxPro developers, and help continue to improve our great FoxPro community. As Gordon Gecko says in the movie Wall Street, "The most valuable commodity I know is information." Same Fox time, same Fox channel If you missed reading any of the letters from previous months, check them out at the side bar links on this web page under Archive. In next month's letter, we will have more Visual FoxPro whitepapers, new Visual FoxPro 8.0 sample downloads posted on msdn.com, and more juicy details on new features coming in Visual FoxPro 9.0.

My machine is getting old and runs at 450 mz using Windows 98.

    - Running Fox Exe's from a local network, VFP5.0 vs VFP6 - 8 I have several small office applications written in Foxpro. Years ago I bought some of them up from Foxpro 2.6 & FPW 3.x into the what was then the newest 'Foxpro', 5.x, and then wrote a few more apps. When later on 6.0 had been out for a while I tried to move up to that version. To that point all I had to do when distributing an application was to put the exe, two Dlls, DBFs and a few other files in a directory on the local network protected by the appropriate NT security. Then put an shortcut on the users desktop pointing that exe. With lots of changes in our office responsibilties this is easy to connect new workstations to these apps. With 6.0 that all changed to have to setup the apps on each computer even though the exe and dbfs could be shared on the network. This is what I had to do with VB apps (which is one among other reasons I didn't use VB alot). I tried to putting all the files the 6.0 setup wizard was putting on each computer on the network in the exe's directory but it didn't work. I guess this is because of the files not being registered properly in the setup. I was hoping that Foxpro would just look for these files in that directory first without checking the registry The upshot of all this is that all the apps are still on 5.x . I suppose that I could set up one VFP 6.0 app on each workstation and then as long as the rest of the apps used the same componets they would not require an individual setup. Before I go that route I'm wondering if there is a way to run 6.0 ( or actually I have 7.0 now) the way that I ran the 5.x apps on the network ?? Tag: thisform.release() not working Tag: 190712

    - ADIR() Question I have a directory with the file extensions of .LOG and .LOG_LIX. When I do a numberof = adir(testing,'*.log'). I get all the files, but what I want is just the files with the LOG extension and not the ones with LOG_LIX. Is there something that I am missing with the ADIR() command?

    - Uploading Large files using XMLHTTP Hi All, I am using XMLHTTP object in VFP to upload files using VFP and having the problem of string too long to fit when uploading files more than 16MB. The error occurs when I try to concatenate the FILETOSTR data with the header info. Temporarily I worked around it by using a memo field. But then it gives the same error in the XMLHTTPObject.Send method. Any body knows any workarounds? * This is a pseudo code only x = FILETOSTR(FileToUpload) BuildPostData(x) && Builds the Header information etc XMLHTTPObject.Send(x) If the above cannot be fixed any other fox pro code that may work? I recall Rick had a wwHTTP class, will it support files more than 16 MB? Tag: thisform.release() not working Tag: 190689

    - VFP email client Hi, I asked recently about accessing port 110 using VFP to be able to parse email in a POP3 account before it was downloaded to a client. I got some great help on the Winsock control which did the job well. Couple of questions: Any ideas how to cleanly disconnect? The POP3 server keeps the connection open for a period of time if I use the Winsock Close() method, and VFP hangs for a similar period of time if I issue a POP3 "QUIT" command. This is just annoying, not important. Now I can access POP3, and can send email in various ways (using BLAT for this, but CDO and wwipstuff are other SMTP based options), I wanted to see if I could write a basic email client using VFP. All works well so far unless I want to reply to an HTML email. In OE or Outlook, you click "Reply" and you can type your reply into what looks like an edit box, but with the original HTML nicely rendered below. Can this be done in VFP? I can display the original HTML using the Web Browser control, but I'm a bit stuck on creating an interactively editable browser object. I'm only doing this as an experiment. It's non-production, but would welcome any help. Neil Tag: thisform.release() not working Tag: 190672

    - Subreport w/ External Foxpro DBF I'm having a problem with a report. I have a problem getting my subreport linked to my main report. I have a primary file used for the main report, and a second (stand alone) file for the subreport. The subreport is not showing any information from the second file. I'm at a loss, and could use some advise. I have included some details below. I have a file that includes multiple fields that are used in the main report: customer name, customer number, job number, company number, and equipment id. I have a second file which is a list of equipment used on a given job: (subreport) job number, company number, equipment id, serial number, model # These files are not joined in the report, I wish to use subreport links to join the two together. The second file will list the detail info for a given piece of equipment and for a given job. I setup the links as follows: ?Pm-Customer_history.ncompany = cs_equip.nCompany ?Pm-Customer_history.nsite_equipid = cs_equip.nsite_equipID ?Pm-Customer_history.njobnumber = cs_equip.njobnumer The selection formula (record) on the subreport was left as it was created by the SubReport Links window. -------------------------------- Thx in advance, Dan Tallent Tag: thisform.release() not working Tag: 190658

    - Unique Identifier for .MNX file I need to grant access to a particular menu option depending on which user has logged in. I am planning to create a DBF file which will contain the menu options that accessible by each userid. Then at the time of running the MPR file, I can modify the SKIP FOR clause if the userid has access to that menu or not To accomplish this task, I need to know if there is a unique identifier in the MNX file that is created by Menu Builder. I want to tie in the userid with the key for MNX file for the purpose of lookup. I browsed the MNX file but I am a little confused about the records in that file. For some reason it has two records for every menu option that I created. Can someone throw some more light on the structure and contents of MNX file and suggest how best I can do what I want to do Thanks a lot.... Subhash. Tag: thisform.release() not working Tag: 190655

    - Insert and update function! Hi All I have just created two database files with master and detail relationship. For now I'm getting trouble with writing "insert and save" function. Firstly I used VFP6.0 built in master detail relationship to create a form. It works fine. My first question: Can I get into their built in "Insert" and "Update" function for my little modification purpose Or if not, I wrote "Insert" and "save" by myself. As I clicked them the first time, it works fine. But after click "save" and it jumped back to "insert" mode, the old data were displayed on the screen, instead of creating a new record, or even my code was included "append blank" Now I found that the problems were from "the cursor were still pointed at the last record after I hit "save and insert". What exactly should be the problem of my coding Please help Sam. Tag: thisform.release() not working Tag: 190646

    - How to display integer value when there is no decimal part? I am using vfp8 and winxp. I have a grid column with recordsource a numeric field with width 5 and decimal 2 in a table. The value is calculated, never entered manually. When the value is 12.25 I want 12.25 displayed, but when the value is 12.00 I want 12 displayed. That is, I want only the integer value to show when there are no decimals. What is the easy way to do this? Regards, Jan Nordgreen Tag: thisform.release() not working Tag: 190645

    - The use of "Activate PopUp .... NoWait" How can I use the option NoWait in a popup menu? While typing in an edit box and after each typed letter a popup appears and remains there. I have to use NoWait option in order to be able to continue typing. The same popup is activated if I right click on the textbox.
