    IE taking over my hyperlinks

    Found it! In the Windows Registry - something had changed this entry: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\ddeexec\Application That's what the _hyperlink class uses in the procedure (forgot the name) that gets the default browser. The entry had been written to have the value of "IExplorer" - as...

    IE taking over my hyperlinks

    I've been using the same hyperlink labels and buttons for a couple of years now in my VFP9 app - no changes to them and no need to change them. Suddenly, and unexpectedly, they are launching MS Internet Explorer even though IE is not now and has never been the default browser. Oddly, it does...

    macro substitution for creating file names

    Hey dbMark, Nope. I just stuck a super-simple IF that says IF LEN(ALLTRIM(m0tmpf1)) < 1 m0tmpf1 = "0"+ALLTRIM(m0custno) ENDIF Old School style. But, I watch the the temp files that get created through the whole process and it never uses the custno - it always uses the name that was...

    macro substitution for creating file names

    An update of sorts and thanks for all your suggestions! OK, following the simplest path first, I put in an IF to see if the variable was populated (which should have thrown an error if it didn't exist or had been released or out of scope). The variable always existed and it was always populated...

    macro substitution for creating file names

    Thanks for the tips! I discovered another quirky thing with it today - it fails to resolve the variable in the file name portion on the first couple of tries so the user ends up with the variable name as the file name - not good but works for some folks OK. Then, later in the same code, it...

    macro substitution for creating file names

    Thank you both! Always reliable and helpful are the two of you and it is greatly appreciated. I have already done some of what Olaf is suggesting - checked carefully to make sure my variable is populated (and spelled correctly) - that's part of the puzzle that it creates the desired file name...

    macro substitution for creating file names

    ...VFP9, I'm getting very different results from the same code that's been around for ages. There's a lot of this but most all of it looks like this: ** Establish blank temporary data file COPY STRUCTURE TO &m0datadr.&m0tmpf1..dbf USE &m0datadr.&m0tmpf1..dbf ALIAS temp_h EXCLUSIVE (yes I know...

    Can no longer set the printers - VFP9

    ...that the heart of my issue was failing to notice that there was that NOEJECT which I was looking past because, as a human, I tended to read what I *thought* it said rather than what was actually written. This is more of that really old, not-very-good code that I bought and it will take me...

    Can no longer set the printers - VFP9

    OMG! I cannot believe how I missed that! NOEJECT != NOPAGEEJECT Thank you very much! I'm not done with this but that made a huge difference. LESSON: when working with code originally developed in FoxPro 2.5... Al

    Can no longer set the printers - VFP9

    ...went to the Windows default printer. UGH! This is a major annoyance to all of us involved. Here's the code snippet just in case you want to see: **** Page 1 SELECT tempmast09 REPORT FORM st3_10page1.frx NOEJECT NOCONSOLE TO PRINTER PROMPT x = INKEY(1) && EJ - pause 1 second **** Page 2...

    Can no longer set the printers - VFP9

    Thank you Mike. I've already done that. In fact, I've read all of your articles and tried every tip you have posted. I've also read every article by Olaf and Mike Gannon and have been through all of those tips, tricks, hacks, strips, etc. I know it's not the "save environment" thing because...

    Can no longer set the printers - VFP9

    Hello, I recently built my VFP7 app using VFP9 but I have not really begun the full migration project. I can select the correct printer when using PROMPT but nothing seems to be able to "overcome" the Windows default printer when it comes to issuing my SET PRINTER commands. I've done hours...

    XFRX w/ VFP9 (or VFP7)

    Thank you all for your help. I still don't have this working but I've had to set this aside for a few weeks. I MUST get this package working so, I'll be trying all your suggestions carefully and let you know if I have success. I know lots of people use this package with ease and to great...

    XFRX w/ VFP9 (or VFP7)

    Thanks Doug! Yep, I have done that and checked and re-checked to make sure but, I'm going to do that again.

    XFRX w/ VFP9 (or VFP7)

    I've been working with XFRX for several days now - I have the commercial package (not source code). I have read and re-read all the documentation, all the info I can find on the web, etc. I have gone through every suggestion slowly and methodically but I'm missing "something" and I'm sure...

    SQLite from VFP9?

    ...a company that built its products in VFP and there are about 750k lines of code and a couple of hundred DBF files involved in the systems. I *used* to develop a lot in xBase (dBASE, Fox, Clipper) but haven't had to work in it for about 10 years. I plan to own this company for another 10...

    SQLite from VFP9?

    Thanks folks! I've been researching these solutions for about 6 months now so I'm aware of what most of you are telling me. My question was more about the "how" than the "why". I don't know everything and the VFP front-end is where my experience is somewhat limited. WRT the ODBC thing - I...

    SQLite from VFP9?

    Thanks Mike! That answers one of my questions that I forgot to ask: is an ODBC driver going to be required? I was hoping to avoid that.

    SQLite from VFP9?

    I've been trying to research using SQLite from a VFP9 front end. I've only found threads here discussing how to move data from SQLite into FoxPro. I don't think MySQL (or any of the direct competitors) is a good fit for my applications since it seems to be too complicated to deploy and run for...

    How do I create a PDF file to email using a report created in VFP7.0

    XFRX, from Eqeus - I bought it and found it very well documented, supported, and full of more features than I expect I'll ever use. It's also pretty easy to implement. I have included it in any production code yet but that's only because I just haven't had time.
