    InstallShield and VFP 9 Merge Modules.

    I did install the IS version 5.0 from the CD. I checked, and all the files WERE in the Merge Modules folder. If there is no VFP_Runtime.msm file, then the issue lies with InstallShield. I started with INNO. I just wish I had more warning that IS would mess up. Thank you. Sam

    InstallShield and VFP 9 Merge Modules.

    Years ago, when I updates VFP9 I saved the SP files and the HotFix File. I also ran isxfoxpro.exe from the [installshield] folder on the CD. I am only missing one file VFP_runtime. I have no problems with any other merge modules. Can some possibly search their PC's for the file and send...

    Email automation with OUTLOOKNEW

    I have been using ShellExecute to automate outlook emails from within a FoxPro app. Everything was fine until we upgraded to Windows 11 and had to switch to OutLookNew. Now we gat a message that this feature is not supported. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Sam

    directory name is invalid.

    I believe it was something with the GPO refreshing/updating. Using a timer seems to help. Thanks everyone. Sam

    directory name is invalid.

    Chriss, I don't do any mapping. It is done by the user's IT dept., using GPO (Group Policy Objects). I didn't mean only one user has this issue. I meant only one customer installation is experiencing it. I have asked the user to see if this issue occurs if the app is installed on a...

    directory name is invalid.

    Koen, This is the code CurrDir = SYS(5) + SYS(2003) IF RIGHT(CurrDir,1) == "\" * DO NOTHING ELSE CurrDir = CurrDir + '\' ENDIF File_1 = LoggedPath(CurrDir + "CLDATA" + RIGHT(ALLTRIM(STR(xYear)),2) + ".DBF") The files are not on the desktop. The app just seems to be looking there...

    directory name is invalid.

    Mike, The app can print to a PDF driver, but the program never gets that far. The error occurs after about 60 lines of pure simple code, except for 1 ADIR() function call: mostly setting SETs and other assignments. Sam

    directory name is invalid.

    Koen Pillar, The directory is set with SYS(5) + SYS(2003). Remember the issue only arises when they exit the app and immediately re-invoke. It occurs in the main prg module. Sometimes my error handler is not invoked, and it displays an OS error/message. Sometimes it gets a little further and...

    directory name is invalid.

    Tom Borgmann, Both your suggestions make sense, but I think they would be issues for their IT department. I will mention it and see they say. Sam

    directory name is invalid.

    Chriss, No mapping at all. User selects an existing drive for app and/or data location. Sam
