    - FoxPro upgrade I have a system written in version 5 and I need to upgrade to version 8. Unfortunately I don't know much about FoxPro. Can someone tell me where I can get some more info on what to do. The manual says you can run the old system without any changes. Won't I have to create a new .exe file to run under version 8. If so how do I do that? Thanks, Jim. Tag: wait window Tag: 201670

    - What's the use of using resource file in my_apps if all it does is saving C5 error? Hi all, One of my client just called earlier this morning saying that he had a C5 error since yesterday and he couldn't run some parts of my_apps. Anyway, I searched this ng and found a suggestion to delete foxuser.* (from Craig Berntson if I'm not mistaken). I convey this solution to my client just now, and it fixes the problem. This whole story makes me think; Why not put SET RESOURCE OFF in my main.prg and only use resource file for certain-specific-read-only purpose only (I have res_noprint.dbf and res_rdesigner.dbf that I use to prevent printing from preview window and to show designer toolbar while opening report designer at runtime)? What do you think guys? Anybody here have a real use of default resource files (foxuser.*) ? Or maybe, Am I the only one here who don't have SET RESOURCE OFF in the main program and I should've known this behavior from the day-one I use VFP? I'm looking forward to hearing from all of you! TIA, Willianto Tag: wait window Tag: 201664

    - Procedures I keep several functions in a non visual class which I call up when I need them on a form by using, for example, thisform.txtarrears.value=oPropApp.rentarrears(). This works well, and avoids having a separate procedure file. My problem is that I want to use this in a report and SQL does not seem to recognise functions called from a class. Is there any way around this ? I use VFP6. An example of such a function is below. ** Totals rents due for a tenant mdbf=ALIAS() mref=tenants.tenantref SELECT tenacc SUM(rentrec) TO mtot1 FOR tenacc.tenant=mref SUM(rentdue) TO mtot2 FOR tenacc.tenant=mref SUM(vatrec) TO mtot3 FOR tenacc.tenant=mref SUM(vatdue) TO mtot4 FOR tenacc.tenant=mref SUM(servicerec) TO mtot5 FOR tenacc.tenant=mref SUM(servicedue) TO mtot6 FOR tenacc.tenant=mref SUM (writeoff) TO mtot7 for tenacc.tenant=mref SUM (vatwriteoff) TO mtot8 for tenacc.tenant=mref mtot=mtot2+mtot4+mtot6-mtot1-mtot3-mtot5+mtot7+mtot8 SELECT (mdbf) LOCATE FOR tenants.tenantref=mref RETURN mtot * EOF rentarrears ******************************************************** -- Tim Hobson Tag: wait window Tag: 201660

    - Printing RTF from memo We have table with memo field. In this memo field we have rich text format file. How can we print this field on report.

    - set path We have developed an application using a data set in \\machine1\data. The forms in this application have the tables in their data environments. The app works fine until we want to use a different set of data. Setting path to \\machine2\data works fine as long as \\machine1\data is not accessible. If \\machine1\data is available it will always use that data regardless of the set pathh setting. Is there a way to stop this behaviour. Thanks in advance Dave Tag: wait window Tag: 201653

    - procedure in separate files = slow execution? I had an application with a large procedure file. The application uses SET PROCEDURE TO <this file> I'm writing another application which uses a few of the procedures in the file. I don't want to include the large procedure file in my new application so I took the common procedures out of the large file and created a separate .PRG for each one. These procedures are used in small loops and when I build the original application, the code runs at least twice as slowly now these procedures are in separate files. Is this a known effect? (having written that post and thought a bit,) I'm thinking I should #INCLUDE the files in the procedure file. But I find it odd that performance has been affected; the whole thing is built into a single exe, why should code location in the source have such a negative impact? -- TIA Andrew Howell Tag: wait window Tag: 201630

    - OLE error with control (BarCodeWiz) I'm using an ActiveX control to print barcodes. When I preview the report, it runs fine. But when I try to print to a printer, it generates: "OLE error code 0x80020009: Exception occurred." I've asked the vendor about this but have not gotten an answer as of yet. This happens in VFP6 and 8. And with an HP LJ printer and a Dymo label printer. I'm also using a similar control from IDEAutomation that doesn't generate the error. The programs that use these two controls are virtually identical. The error doesn't seem to be in my program b/c simply clicking on the Print icon in the report preview produces the error. None of my code is involved in this. Any idea what would cause this error? Thanks, Frank Tag: wait window Tag: 201614

    - button.default won't stick I have a form in which, depending on certain conditions, the "default" property should apply to different buttons. But when I set a button's defaut property to .T. at run time (which according to the doc, sets all others to .F.), the change doesn't take. Even if I pause execution and manually set the property to .T., the "default" button switches back to the original as focus passes from one control to another. None of the buttons get disabled, but their picture and/or captions change. If I set other buttons' default property to .F. before setting another's to .T., that does not help the situation. Is it me? Is there a workaround? Tag: wait window Tag: 201603

    - Can COM objects be called from both foxisapi and ASP? I have an application that is calling my com object from ASP pages as well as via foxisapi. After accessing the com object from foxisapi any attempt to access the com object from ASP results in "HTTP 500 - Internal server error". This continues even if I /RESET foxisapi. The only way to fix it is to iisReset. FoxIsapi does not have a problem with it though and I can continue accessing the object through it. I can also access the com object through createobject(..) within fox. I may have to convert everything over to FoxIsapi but this was planned to be a gradual upgrade as it is a very big site.

    - Progress bar with a SQL Select statement I often use a progress bar within a scan/endscan to give the user visual feedback and reassure them that the system hasn't hung. I pass it two parameters: current record number, and max number of records and it does the business, returning .T.. Is there a way of using such a progress bar or similar with a SELECT statement. It is an outer join sql using all the records from the one table so I know the max number of records. However I have no idea how to pass it the first parameter. I was thinking along the lines of: SELECT ... INTO CURSOR <filename> WHERE PROGRESS(param1,param2) The particular sql could take 20-30 secs and a simple WAIT WINDOW NOWAIT seems inadequate. If this function is not possible is there any other way of displaying a progress bar while a SELECT is running? Many thanks Stephen Tag: wait window Tag: 201567

    - App does not detect newly added record Hi, Just fishing for ideas here. I have two apps which 'talk to' each other. Idea is that app1 is the UI, and allows users to submit a job request to a table. App2 is server based and looks at the table via a timer - if it finds a new job request, it processes it, then looks out for the next one. Problem I have is that app2 won't pick up a new job request if the job queue table has a job added after it's been empty. If you restart it, it picks up no problem, if it adds its own occasional job it works fine, and if there's say 4 jobs in the queue after a restart it will process them all. This is a VFP8 app running on Win 2003 Server. I'm guessing this is some multi-user issue. I'm not using the DE - table is opened each time within the timer code, it's definitely the right table, and a COUNT gives zero records. Any help much appreciated.

    - New VFP System I was handed a vfp system and am not familiar with vfp. I have attended some general classes on it. However, the system I have was not redesigned for vfp or done in a relational database. It is just tables. with information copied over and duplicated in several areas. I know the system needs to be fixed, I have been told with what I want it would basically require it to be re written. Do you think it would be best to be written in VFP, Access or some other database format. In the future we will be looking at web based things as well. I am familiar with Access, and can find help on that easily. It is very hard to get any help for Foxpro. Thanks Tag: wait window Tag: 201545

    - Using VFP to process long lins of data & to create mailing labels I need to process some very long lines of data, 1200 characters or more, that contains company, address, city, state, and zip code data. My goal is to extract these items and create mailing labels. With shorter lines of data, 250 or less, I knew how to process this. Using FP2.6 terminology, I would create a file with one field the length of data, append the data as text, process this file record by record, and generate fields for a second file. I have done the same in VFP. I know how to process the data on a line once I can get Foxpro to read the line, for example processing character by character. My problem right now is I don't know how to get the long lines of data to the point I can use VFP to read the data character by character. Can anyone offer suggestions as to how to do this?

There is no way to tell if the user clicks on the wait window but you could
leave the wait window up and still do other things.

WAIT "Waiting" WINDOW NOWAIT NOCLEAR

Then you could have it somewhere in some event or somewhere down the line
