    - Can't preview 2 reports at the same time? I know report previewing has always been flaky with VFP, especially in the IDE, but I just noticed that with VFP9 you still can't preview 2 reports at the same time if you try to use right mouse to preview them. After spending a bit of time with this, it appears to be a continuation of the mouse right click crash bug. Open table. Create 2 reports that run against table. Open both reports in report editor. Right click a report, select preview. Right click other report, Menu manager internal consistency error occurs. Faulting application vfp9.exe, version 9.0.0.3504, stamp 436c14ff, faulting module vfp9.exe, version 9.0.0.3504, stamp 436c14ff, debug? 0, fault address 0x0021ab95 Happens with VFP9, VFP8, VFP7.

    - Field display on report question? Hi, Using VFP 9.0. I'm designing a simple report for one of my tables and I'm seeing something that seems odd to me. The field expression is: alltrim(lname) + ", " + alltrim(fname) So I should get 'lname, fname' on my report. It seems to be working except where fname is null, then I just get .NULL. on my report. I would have thought that if it were null then I'd just get 'lname, ' out on my report but instead I only get .NULL.. Can anyone shed some light here?

    - problems with installshield in 9.0 I am attempting to install build an install exe for vfp 9.0 runtime. When I run the exe on a machine that does not have 9.0 dev installed it chokes with the message "Visual Foxpro could not start. Could not load resources": I looked through postings here and found several suggestions and solutions that worked for others, such as 1. don't forget the vfp9r.dll 2. include the c## libraries 3. just copy the runtime dll into the exe directory and that is all you need. 4. be sure to register the dll 5. don't register the dll. At this point I am confused. I have tried all of the above and still it doesn't work. I have manually registered the dll and that didn't help. Is this an XP issue??? I have used the installshield with 7.0 distributions with no problems. Which c## libraries should I be including? Which boxes should be checked in the redistibutables section?? help???

    - Attempting to Automate VSS 2005 w/ VFP9 I'm revisiting a problem that stumped me years ago. I'd like to automate the sharing of project files within the VFP IDE through VSS Automation, and everything's good to go except for the VSS "add file to source control" dialog - I'm hoping I might be able to use some of the new functionality VFP9 to get past this. Here are some options AFAIK: VSS's IVSSEventHandler interface - but would have to write a separate DLL. BindEvent() - to trap windows messages and perhaps get a reference to the dialog window. EventHandler() - but so far, I don't have a COM object to attach to. I think I need to get a reference to the dialog window's hWnd and do something like a SendKeys or a SendMessage, but the VSS automation doesn't seem to expose any objects I can grab a hold of.. Would appreciate all suggestions. Thanks. -- William Fields Code Contortionist MCSD - Microsoft Visual FoxPro US Bankruptcy Court Phoenix, AZ ".dll hell - .rpm hell - whatever.

    - How to append a Word doc to a general field and display it as an icon I need to append a word document to a general field and display it as an icon and edit it in word when you double-click it. The default option when you use the command "Append General <generalfield> From <file>" is to display the file content and edit it inside the oleboundcontrol. The only way I found to do this, is to check the "Show as an icon" option of the "Insert Obeject..." menu in the Create from file tab. Is there a way to do the same but programatically with the "Append General" command ??? Thanks in Advance !!! Best Regards, Geo L. Tag: timer and report with >1 page Tag: 220606

Are there any resources out there for a silly Foxpro guy that wants to learn .NET? I usually try and learn a new Development environment by rewriting an existing application, and I get slammed real quick in .NET [2005]. For example, is there a cross reference somewhere that says: To Edit a PageFrame in VFP, right-Click->Edit. In .NET its a TabControl and you get at the properties in a much different way. I really do keep trying this offering from Microsoft, and I ain't impressed. Seems like things have gotten much more difficult. What happened to the KISS philosphy?

    - Utility to protect VFP6-9 executables from decompilation Hi, all and especially Josh Assing I have improved protection mechanism of beta version of Defox so it uses different keys for each protected file. So, if you know how to unprotect one protected file, it doesn't mean that you know how to unprotect another protected file. And I believe, that it is sufficiently difficult to create general unprotection utility. Limitation: Every file included in exe must be less than 16Mb Limitation of beta version: All protected programs will start with the messagebox stating about protection. This messagebox will be removed in the final release. Caution: few functions in protected executable may return different result, so force program to work differently. These are Program(-1), Sys(16) and may be some else. Except this, protected program must work absolutely the same as original. The utility is written in VFP6, so if you have VFP6SP5 runtimes, you may download only executable (~240Kb) www.grada.lv/defox/defoxb.exe If you don't have runtimes, you may download install package (~3.7Mb) www.grada.lv/defox/defoxb_setup.exe All feedbacks both negative and positive will be greatly appreciated.

Have a look, example: Foxpro: SELECT field1, field2 from table1 where field1=10 INTO TABLE table2 And SQLServer: SELECT field1, field2 from table1 where field1=10 ? How? Thanks in advance, very much.

    - Mouseup event -- I have a screen(VFP9,sp1) with a grid. In the grid the RecordSourseType is Alias. I change the index of the file in Mouseup event. If I close the file and open again I lose the "Mouseup event". How can I recreate it programmatically? Thank you in advance. Sandor Tag: timer and report with >1 page Tag: 220444

    - Member object removed -- cannot complete the Save operation error message Hello Has anyone seen this error message, and what do you do to fix. In my one form I occasionally get this message, no object was remove just some method code changed. If I rebuild the project it will lockup when compiling this form. Then I have to shutdown fox using the task manager and restart and most of the time it will be ok again, but I lose my work. Any ideas... Dave Tag: timer and report with >1 page Tag: 220439

    - VFP6 .dbc Validation Errors It is nice to finally have FK RI working. This leads to the next questions which deal with error recovery. 1) If a column constraint is violated (error 1582), I get back a text message, but the column name would be nice, too. (Yes, I could simply return the column name and look up that in an error message table, but I am hoping for something simpler.) 2) Is it possible to find out which trigger failed? If I have a table with two FKs, how do I tell which is wrong? In this case, there is no unique text returned. Even getting the column name would help. (If I violate the uniqueness primary key constraint, error 1884 returns the column name. I want something like that here.) 3) Is there any guarantee of which order the constraints are checked / the errors are thrown? If not, what has been your observation of the order?

    - VFP 6 .dbc FK RI I have a couple tables where one has an FK into the other. How do I get the FK enforcement code into the .dbc in the first place? gendbc does not do it. Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko Tag: timer and report with >1 page Tag: 220415

    - Compiler Error I've compiled my application, and gotten rid of all of the compiler errors except one. I have a report that uses an external array in the fields, and the compiler reports "myarray UNDEFINED". I have other forms that use external arrays, and I simply put an EXTERNAL command in. But I don't know where I can place an EXTERNAL command in a report so that it doesn't come up with the compiler error. The report works just fine, but there is just something about seeing the "0 Errors" at the end of your compilation. Rick Tag: timer and report with >1 page Tag: 220412

    - VFP 9 - ODBC and C# I am creating an app that uses C# to access web services on the Net, I have my base data in VFP 9 tables, I want to bind a list box from the C# module with a username picked from the VFP tables. When I go to set up a VFP driver in ODBC it tells me to go download the latest ODBC drivers from the msdn site. When I go to the site, the only drivers I see are for W95 98 or NT, is that the one I need to use? Or is there an easier way to do this? TIA Tag: timer and report with >1 page Tag: 220410

    - Exe Problem I just compiled my project into an .exe with vfp9/sp1. I installed it on a server. The application runs fine on that box. However, I wish to run the application on the workstations. I map the network drive on the workstation and place a shortcut on its desktop which points to the .exe on the server and the working folder is the same as the .exe on the mapped drive. When I click on the shortcut on the workstation, it just beeps at me. Clicking on the .exe in Windows Explorer produces the same results (or should I say, non-results). What am I doing wrong? Is there something more that I need to do at the workstation level? Rick Tag: timer and report with >1 page Tag: 220405

    - TableValidate question I've been having some read errors in files over the network and I saw that someone suggested setting TableValidate to 0 for no validation. The help file, though, says the following about TableValidate: "You must first open the table exclusively before using the SET TABLEVALIDATE command." I don't understand what that means because you can open a table in shared mode after your set tablevalidate to 0. Does it mean that TableValidate is ignored unless a file is opened exclusively?

I have a timer working in the background, which is checking for new
messages in table1 -every 30 minutes. If at the same time somebody
preview a report with more than 1 page and is trying to change page -
report preview is disappearing....:-(
I know it's because timer is changing current cursor (reports are used
public dataenvironment), so i try to disable timer before report shows
and enable after - works OK , but in this case if user will open any
report in <30 min will never get messages prepared by timer...

Is there a way to store curent "time to fire" of timer so it could
start not from 0 ?
Or maybe somebody have better idea how to get rid of this report
behavior ? (I don't want to change it to use private dataenvironment)

Thanks,
Adam

Hi,

this should work:

yourTimer:Timer()
&& set autoyield to .F. top make sure no code triggered by user
&& interaction can run while in this method
_VFP.AutoYield = .F.

&& save current alias
LOCAL lcAlias
lcAlias = ALIAS()

&& do your stuff

&& restore alias
IF !EMPTY(lcAlias)
SELECT &lcAlias
ENDIF

&& restore autoyield to default
_VFP.AutoYield = .T.

Regards
Christian

That was it !
Thanks a lot for your help. I've never used this AutoYield property
before...
