    - VFP 9: Non-RW Printing: Line Spacing Is there any way to adjust the line spacing in non-RW printing? My printer crunches lines together somewhat more closely than the printer at the office.

    - VFP9 SP1: Debugger: Watch Bug? I have an array of lines to be printed on a page: this.pageline. If I enter this into the Watch window, it shows with a boxed plus showing that it is expandable to show the array elements, and it does do that. However, on a subsequent run, the box is not there. If I enter it again into the Watch window, the new entry has the box and can be expanded. On the next run, the second entry for this.pageline also no longer has its box. Is this a bug, or am I overlooking something? I do seem to be finding some interesting oddities. Where should I report suspected bugs?

    - Passing chinese charater to a stored procedure I try to call a command to execute a stored procedure by passing some chinese character (unicode). variable mu_measure is chinese character, eg: =E5=8F=AA When I use the below command, value ? will stored instead of the chinese character. b=3DSQLEXEC(ma, [exec multiprice ?mitem_no,?mprice,?mu_measure,?mdate]) so i tried to add N in front of the variable, the chinese charater still didn't display correctly, the value stored become N@P9 b=3DSQLEXEC(ma, [exec multiprice ?mitem_no,?mprice,N?mu_measure,?mdate]) What should I do in order to pass in the character correctly to my stored procedure?

    - How to remove print button on Print Preview w/ SET REPORTBEHAVIOUR 90? Hi all, Until now, I've been successfully use customize resource file to display the Print Preview toolbar without the Print button. Problem arise because in VFP9 (with SET REPORTBEHAVIOUR 90), looks like the ReportListener object takes control and disregard the toolbar settings. Question: Anybody knows how to easily remove the print button on Print Preview toolbar while running the report with SET REPORTBEHAVIOUR 90? Thanks in advance! Willianto P.S: Of course the easy solution would be SET REPORTBEHAVIOUR 80. Problem is, my client already sees how VFP9 render the preview window beautifully. See, most reports are using Draft fonts and printed on dot matrix printer. Thus, in the old VFP8, the preview looks miserable. Now, they want the nice looking _and_ the suppressed-print-button one. Oh well, you know, _clients_ :P Tag: xfrx versus frx2any Tag: 227747

    - VFP9: Printer Margins And now, for the next stirring episode of "Gene Converts a Report to Allow PDF Output": I have now established that what I intend to be output is output, but somehow, it is not coming out right. Other printer output, even in VFP, works normally. I am wondering if there is a setting that I am missing. The guts of the printing (after setting printer and font) is: set printer on set console off ?? pagetext set console on set printer off pagetext contains a page of text. Naturally, it has embedded CRLF. I get crazy output. The text is indented about two inches on the first page which then line wraps nearly every line and takes two pages to output. My second page is indented about six inches! I decided to try breaking up pagetext into lines and printing line-by-line, and that worked. Am I overlooking something, or is this a nasty VFP bug? (It certainly has slurped up a bunch of my blood^Wtime.) (Once I have the buffering all working right, then it will be time for testing the PDF output. That was the whole point of this exercise in the first place. I hate large changes that can not really be tested until mostly complete.)

    - Order of records in a grid I want to allow users to set the order of records in a grid. I realize that grid order is based upon the underlying records, so I have a lineorder field that theoretically could set the order of the records. Changing that field should automatically reorder the grid. That would work, except that the grid is a child grid of a parent record. The parent is a purchase order. The child is items on the purchase order. To get the right child items, the order of the child table needs to be set to ponumber. But to get the record order correct, the index has to be set to lineorder. So I'm rather confused as to how this would be done, if it can be done. Any help would be appreciated.

    - Migrating dbf tables to SQL Server I am beginning to think about migrating my free tables to SQL Server. My idea is to use as many remote views as tables there are in the database. This means, that if in a program I have "USE table1" I will change it now to "USE view_table1 NODATA", and then use a REQUERY() to fetch the data of the parametrized view. The rewrite of code I think is minimal with this approach, and I have all the advantages of a client/server. Or mabye it would be better not to use remote views at all and use instead of them SQL pass-through sentences? Then at the beginning of the programm I would make a SQLEXEC(Select....) into a local cursor. And when transaction finishes, I would UPDATE the database from that local cursor (because there are 1 to many relationships). I would like to hear your comments on both approaches, since many of you have already done this migrating process. TiA Walter Tag: xfrx versus frx2any Tag: 227728

    - VFP 9: Debugging: Checking Multiline Values I am in the last stages of a programming change, and I am getting unexpected results. I do not know why yet. Part of the awkwardness is that the values that I want to check are long multiline strings. These do not show well or accurately in the debugger. The pieces that I am concatenating seem to be correct, but somehow, the long strings are going pear-shaped. I do not know if the erroneous results I am getting are due to a bug of mine or an artefact of VFP's. What is a good way to interrogate the values of multiline strings?

    - I am having a problem tying a grid to a cursor. I started out with a regular database called labels.dbf. I open a form and on that form there is a grid showing the contents of the labels.dbf. I decided to use a cursor instead. I create the cursor in the load of the form. When the form opens it says it can't instaniate the labels.dbf cursor. How do you tell a grid to wait till the dbf is available? DO I have to create the grid after I create the cursor? Sounds like alot of work. Is there a way to have the grid on the form and then tell it what cursor to use after during the init or load? Tag: xfrx versus frx2any Tag: 227711

    - More on Data Sessions for a Function Josh, Thanks. I've been playing and it seems that the following are true: CLOSE DATABASE will close table in the current session RELEASING a session will close the tables in that session DISPLAY STATUS will show you open tables in the current session DISPLAY OBJECTS will show you sessions (and other objects) Do I seem to have it correct? My functions that want private data should simply save the session coming in, create a new one, release the created session, and then restore the saved one prior to returning. I don't need to close tables. Releasing the session does it for me. Correct? Also, my SET EXCLUSIVE and SET DELETED seem to be preserved across datasessions created in code as you outlined so they do not need to be coded again when a new session object is created. Is that correct? Thanks again.

    - CloneObject hi, I want to create a new copy of object instead of using the reference of the object like objA=objB. When I tried to search for this I encountered with NewObject(), cloneobject(), AMembers() could be used for this purpose. But I couldn't understand how the NewObject could be used. For the CloneObject, since it is available at only the design time it is not going to serve my purpose. For the AMembers() method it was giving errors when I was copying for the read only properties, so if I try to use the filter, it is giving me an error of Incorrect argument even though I use it as specified in the Microsoft help. Here the object toForm is also present. It gives the error for the last argument of [P | H | G] , but really astonishing thing is that it will not give any error if I use [P] only here. =AMEMBERS(laArray,toForm,1,[P | H | G]) Please suggest me an example with code of how a copy of an object could be done in VFP9.

    - Handling apostrophes in strings? Hi, I'm using VFP 9.0 and have run into a little problem when storing names in strings. If I have a contact's address with a street name like, O'Keefe Ave, do I have to do anything with the apostrophe to keep it from premeturely terminating the string? What I'm doing is scaning a table and exporting records to an Access database using ODBC and SQLEXEC(). To do this I'm building a string for the values component of an INSERT statement. Like this... myString = myString + "', '" + myTable.addr_1 + "', '" + myTable.addr_2 + "', '" + myTable.city + "'" What would be the best way to handle this on the fly? Or, is there a better way to perform my task? Any help is greatly appreciated, Linn Tag: xfrx versus frx2any Tag: 227633

    - strange behaviour of form environment I have a form with three tables in the environment, standord, accounts, and utility. The INIT selects standord and creates an array which fills a listbox. This is OK and the form appears as it should, If I then SUSPEND and ? ALIAS() it tells me that utility has been selected. If I then SELECT STANDORD it tells me that standord does not exist. I have even made a temporary textbox which INIT fills with the alias in its last line, which show standord. But without any other action except suspending it, the table changes. There is nothing in the INIT which calls utility and there is no coding in ACTIVATE or anywhere else that I can find (for example in the class structure) which could select utility. Nowhere (until much later in the calling prg) do I remove standord from being used. Can anyone suggest what might be happening ? I need to select standord for the form to do some processing. -- Tim Hobson Tag: xfrx versus frx2any Tag: 227624

    - Meta-Data or Actual Data Hey All, I want to fetch the number of records in a given table via the ODBC driver. This is not related to any particular query... Just some "statistical" information. (IE, you have 10,000 contacts in your database) I know I can use the RECCOUNT() function in FoxPro "native"... Which I assume pulls from the metadata of the table. Is there an equivilant for the ODBC driver (other than a SELECT COUNT() FROM Table, which I assume reads every record in the table) Thanks! Matt Tag: xfrx versus frx2any Tag: 227623

    - What else is there like VFP? The original dbase and to some extent all of the xbase descendants like VFP are interactive, adhoc, one-command-at-a time, data creation, data examination, and data manipulation languages. Starting with a few commands in the Command Window, you can feel your way into a problem and eventually build a program with reports, queries, screens, etc. xbase is like a giant calculator with a ton of functions. My question is, is there any product or environment out there that has the same simplicity and flexibility as xbase? Should one be learning or experimenting with some other programming environment? (esp. if VFP wanes). What would it be? Tag: xfrx versus frx2any Tag: 227600

    - Updating Balance Field Hi, Just want some suggestions on the following issues. I currently have a Balance Field in my Invoice.DBF that gets updated with every payment. In a multi-user environment, I encountered a problem when the balance field was updated by two different user, with both user entering different payment amount. The balance was incorrect because the calculation was based on the user that last saved the data. eg. Invoice amount : $1,000 Invoice Balance : $1,000 User 1 - Entered $400 as Payment User 2 - Entered $500 as Payment Both user was entering their data at the same time, User 2 being the last to click the save button. Invoice Balance : $500 (which should be $100 only) I really need to maintain the Balance Field so I could trace which invoice is still unpaid. There are times that the clients pays only the latest invoice so I could not implement a running balance on the program. Thanks for any ideas or comments you can give.

    - Table buffering issues VFP 7 SP1 Hi all, One of my forms is using table buffering and the records are filtered using SET KEY. If two users are adding records in a grid, users A data may show on users B screen. I remember hearing somewhere this may be a bug. If it is, is it fixed in VFP 8 or 9. I am thinking this is a bug since the data is being filtered and the key value for the filter is different on both machines, also table buffering is involved here so why would one user see another users. Though I am not sure if user A saved before user B saw the data or not. VFP 7 SP1 on WinXP Sp2 and Win2K workstations. And yes we are thinking of going to version 9 sometime.

    - SAPI Memory Leak I am using SAPI V5.1 speech recognition in my VFP8 based application. I have noticed that this automation server (sapisvr.exe) keeps using more and more memory. Is this a memory leak or is this normal? The only way to release this memory is to re-start this process. Some of the details are as follows... 1. My OLE, implementing the SAPI events, is session based. I have also ensured that all 'CreateObject()' based objects are made NULL before the object references are released. 2. I have created one Public variable that references a 'container' class based object. All the objects that are required for this SAPI (and created thru createobject command) are referenced thru the custom 'properties' of this container object. 3. The application uses CFG only for short periods but is in dictation mode for most of the time. Thanks Sati Tag: xfrx versus frx2any Tag: 227581

    - Varchar mapping, varchars & sql I'm having difficulty with the following concept. Does anyone have the patience to explain it? Situation: I have a table in which all of the char fields are type varchar and my app runs with varcharmapping on and set exact off . When it comes time to run a few simple queries I get rows with blank values when the where clause compares one of these fields to a character literal like where extension = "PJX" I have already determined that I can get the results I expect if I change this to: where extension == "PJX" but I can't understand how or why comparing an empty column value to a non-empty string can return .t. since the command line statements: ? "" = "PJX" && -> .f. and ? "PJX" = "" && -> .t. both make perfect sense to me, but the query suggests that "" = "PJX" is true.

    - Porting FoxPro 2.6 Windows app to VFP 9 I can find references to porting to VFP 6 but not with VFP 9. I guess it is not very common. I wonder how much work is involved? Does anyone have any experience with this or can offer a suggestion on what to watch out for? Thx, Long Tag: xfrx versus frx2any Tag: 227549

    - Can I Intercept List.Click Before Pointer Moves VFP9 When the user clicks in my list (object), the record pointer changes and the new record is displayed just fine. Here's the setup code for the list: WITH .List1 .ControlSource = 'Jobs' .RowSourceType = 6 && 6=Fields .RowSource = 'Jobs.ModelName' ENDWITH Is there some event that occurs after the click but before the record pointer moves? Here's why I ask: I want to "intercept' the Click event and/or the Up/Dn arrow keys before the pointer moves so I can detect if any changes were made to the original record. I tried code in the InteractiveChange & Click events, but it seems these events occur only AFTER the record pointer moves to the new record. I also tried using the Valid event, but Valid doesn't seem to fire at all. I eventually kludged it to return to the original record to detect the changes, then back to the newly selected record, but I feel there must be a better way. Is there? Steve M.

    - Update query on an access database I am trying to run an update query on an access database from FoxPro, and I keep getting the error: Too few parameters. Expected 1. I can connect to the table and run a select with no problem. The query I am running is: retval=SQLEXEC(ODBChandle,"update [addresses - MASTER LIST] set zip='&tmpVal' where idnumber=2879") I have tried just about every combination of brackets and quotes that I can think of. I have also tried hard coding a value instead of using a macro. Nothing works. Kevin Clark Seton Home Study School Tag: xfrx versus frx2any Tag: 227545

    - Chado Spell-Edit Has anybody got any experience of mail-mailing in vfp using the Chado Spell-Edit activex control? The Merge event does not seem to be firing, and Chado, whilst being very courteous and helpful, are not able to solve the problem because they have no vfp expertise. Many thanks Stephen Tag: xfrx versus frx2any Tag: 227528

Hi,

Besides the price where frx2any is more expensive.
And both help files are "looking good".
Is there a good reason which one to choose ?
Anybody has some experience with one of them.

Thanks in advance
regards

Hi Cristophe,

I have been using xfrx for almost two years. I just use the easiest part of
it, to generate pdf from within a VFP program. It was quite easy to
install/implement, I had also some questions that the support team answered
quite quickly. The only annoying part is that you have to increase a little
bit in the reports (.frx) the width of the numeric columns, because they
print well with REPORT TO PRINT, but with xfrx they appear with ********.
Also, the generated pdf looks smaller than the printed version of the
report.

Nevertheless, I am quite happy with it.

I also use XFRX to generate PDF files which I email to my clients. It works
quite well and I always get prompt email responses to technical support
questions. I am quite happy with it.
