Thanks all, I got it figured out. After disabling McAfee on both computers it worked. So I did a quick Google search and figured out how to allow Windows File/Print sharing through the McAfee firewall. All is good. The Win 2000 machine is slow as hell, but at least it works! Andy

Hi all, I have a problem at home. No, not that kind of problem - I have a problem sharing a printer. I have an old windows 2000 machine that I want to use as a print server for my HP 720 deskjet printer. I have shared the printer and everything appears good on the 2000 side. Now I want to...

Thanks, but no. I am sending it commands directly through the serial port. Andy

Hello All, I have had Verifone Pinpad 1000 support for a long time now in my application and recently was sent a Pinpad 1000se. Even though it says it's backward compatible I get a "PACKET ERR B" when I prompt to receive the PIN. Any ideas what PACKET ERR B means? Thanks, Andy

Do you have _VFP.Autoyield set to .T. (default)? If so, I don't see any reason why DOEVENTS would help you since your app is already processing windows events. Andy

What exactly is (mypicture)? Is that a file name? Maybe this will give you some ideas: lTableError = .f. ON ERROR lTableError = .T. thisform.container1.imgcontrol1.Picture = LOADPICTURE("c:\mypicture.bmp") IF lTableError DO errmsg ENDIF Andy

I always send the size of the message as the first 10 bytes of the message. Then you know what to wait for. I would be careful using some sort of EOT character especially if you messages contain binary data. Andy

I personally don't find it interesting, but I'm happy for you that you finally got the monkey off your back after all those years. ;-) Andy

OK, good luck in your quest. Andy

Smarty, Can you live with THISFORM.ControlBox = .F. Andy

Bell1991, You could just deny the login rather than removing it: EXEC sp_denylogin [BUILTIN\Administrators] Andy

Thanks Denny. Andy

Hello, After installing SQL 2005 Express I have to connect using the named instance it created (.\SQLEXPRESS) as part of the data source. If I try to connect without using the instance name it doesn't work. Is there any way to make this the "default" instance so I can use just the server name...

DO FORM myform NOSHOW Andy

Griff, Maybe an API call to get the printers would be quicker? I don't know... if it continues to be a problem maybe it's worth a look. Although that's probably all VFP is doing in the background when you call APRINTERS(). Something like EnumPrinters IN winspool.drv is what I'm speaking of...

Griff, It usually happens with network printers. I think VFP has to resolve the path to the network resource or something. Maybe you could call APRINTERS only once and then store the information for use later. That way you only take the single hit. Andy

icemel, Look up the stored procs: sp_addlinkedserver sp_addlinkedsvrlogin In the Books Online. It should explain everything you need. Can't help you on what repl_distributor is - sorry. Andy

Thank you tsuji. Your example was very helpful and solved my problem. The XML looks perfect now. Andy

Here is an example of XML I need to produce: <?xml version="1.0"?> <MyMessage xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <MyAck/> </MyMessage> My question is how can I add the schema references (xmlns:xsd, xmlns:xsi) using only...

Try: thisform.winsockcontrol.OBJECT.connect And then check the connect event of the control for an incoming response. Here is a good source of example code for both the client and the server side: http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~WinSockOCXSample~VFP Andy
