    Progress of report being processed

    For the report you would need a custom report listener class for the report engine. I think there is an example in the foundation classes/examples that comes with VFP9. Also, Doug Hennig has published a PDF on report listener classes that is very good.

    .dbf files mysteriously gone missing (or being deleted)

    There can be problems with renaming a bak file to a dbf file. If the dbf is part of a database (DBC) then the database will contain the structure definition to the dbf. The dbf backup file is usually created when you made a structural change. So, these may not match any longer and you could...

    Report layout differs when running

    I would suggest making a copy of your report first. Then hack the report by opening via USE reportname.frx. Then manually set the hpos value to the same value for the objects that you want to be all aligned.

    .dbf files mysteriously gone missing (or being deleted)

    In order to prevent a user from being able to browse to a share that contains the tables, I have used the following strategy: //sharename/protectedfolder/sharedfolder The protected folder user rights are not granted to the business users. The sharedfolder user rights is granted to the...

    Opening and reading from a binary file larger than 2GB

    You might be able to speed up the VFP version by increasing the BLOCK size value. Instead of 8192, you might try sizes greater than 10 megabytes... This would be less reads performed. I believe that when comparing two string values, VFP will stop comparing when a byte is different between the...

    sorting

    Create the following index on your field that contains the grade value (where grade is the field name): INDEX ON PADL(ALLTRIM(grade), 10, '0') TAG grade Now use this index to set the order for display. If you want to select the records then use the same PADL() expression in the ORDER BY clause.

    Command History not saved if VFP closed by shutdown

    When the machine is rebooted that is running VFP IDE, the VFP running process is terminated by the OS. This is not an orderly shutdown that would allow the command history to be saved. You would need to use a method as described above that the user can trigger to save the contents to a file...

    Copy fields from one table to another

    What if you select the two tables separately in a UNION clause? Use place holders in the missing fields for the first table.

    Adding and moving images in a running form

    Instead of using a textbox to determine the image, you could provide a lower section of the form that provides the images that are available. This image list could be scrollable and a user would select an image and then drag to the location desired. I ditto the use of a table to manage the...

    Switching between forms in an application

    My solution to the problem of RLOCK of a record by one user that another user needs access to, is to not use RLOCK. Instead, I have a table for managing the locks - tablelock.dbf. When a user selects a customer, supplier, etc. record to be edited, I add the record Id to the tablelock record...

    Switching between forms in an application

    I have a similar application with a tab interface for selecting between forms: The first row allows the user to select between different tab groups. The second row allows a user to open a form into the group's tab interface. When the user selects a command button to open a popup child...
