Remainder of reply to cfneuman:
My problem is that I can't run DBase III+ full screen on the work computer. And, running in a window creates some kind of entry problem where the smoothness between keyboard entries and screen results disappears and the relationship is jerky and awkward. I...
Reply to cfneuman:
I agree with your comment; however, I thought I was already running "DBase Plus". I am running DBase III+, and it ran fine full screen under Win95, Win98, Win 2000 and even WinXP, Professional Edition, V. 2002, Service Pack 1 on my NET computer, which has a Pentium 4...
To charlesdenver:
Thanks for your confirmation of the integrity of my code (I only included the first part of the program), and please accept my apologies for being tardy getting back to you.
I am running XP Professional, and I can run my code, too, but only in a window. I can't run it full...
Additional note to MiggyD:
Platitudes can sometimes produce strange results. I have already said, and you took note of it, that repeating the same behavior expecting a different result is one sign of insanity. That was a sort of humorous platitude.
My second platitude was that those who don't...
MiggyD:
Thanks for your E-Mail and informative, if somewhat cynical, comments about my techies. You will be please to know they did not charge me.
And, it is time to start laughing, because it WAS the screensaver. Since I have switched to a "blank screen" SS, there has been NO recurrence...
MiggyD:
Thanks for your thoughts. My guess about the monitor is that the complex "Fish" screen saver I am running could be the culprit. I bought it before I upgraded to XP Pro, and I may need to upgrrade the software if I want to continue using it. It came from Sight N' Sound, if I am not...
MiggyD:
Thanks for your prompt and kind response. Unfortunately, I have already tried your suggestion early in the game, when I couldn't get DBase III+ to run full screen under Windows XP on my offline computer with Intel Xeon 2.79GHz dual processor.
On my desktop, I have an icon labeled...

Thanks for your valuable suggestions. I will check them out. Your comment about Tamedos is interesting; I will know more when I find out what it is. My guess is that it is software that assists in running DOS programs under Windows. When I know more, I will get back to you via the...
Thanks for your suggestion, MiggyD.
I tried [ALT]/ENTER on my work computer, w/2.79GHz Intel Xeon processor, and it did produce a full screen. The full screen looked different from the full screen on past computers, including my current net computer, which has an Intel 2.4GHz processor.
The...
Thanks for your help. I agree with you. For my purposes, Fox Pro is probably overkill. I do not program for the joy of the challenge, or to learn more about programming and computers. I do it to help me be more productive in what I do. I do not, therefore, look forward with eager...
Thank you for your valuable and insightful comment in response to my problem with DBase III+.
You suggest upgrading to Access or Visual Fox Pro. Will I be able to write my utilities in either of these as I have been doing in DBase III+? What kind of learning curve will I encounter in...
I am new to the forum. In 1986, I bought a Kaypro computer running CPM and, for software, bought Wordstar and DBase. Using DBase's programming language, I wrote my own accounting system. When DOS came along, I converted to DOS. When Windows 95 came along, I converted to that. After several...
