I've known about winworldpc for years. That's where I went to get dBase iii+ and 4. I installed 4 and still had problems with the memo field. That's okay. It would have been easier but I'll stick with what I have been doing. See below. My way is not as elegant but it gets the job done...

Phil, Even better. Off searching I go. Joe

Will dB4 and FoxPro also create executables? Joe

Phil, I did try the Ctrl-PGDN key combo. I get sent back to the Dot Prompt. What I have been doing is using several Character fields of 74 characters. This at least gives the user some space to do free form text. I guess I'll go track down dBase IV and give it a try. Thanks, Joe

Phil, Sorry about that. I forgot to say. I'm using dBase iii+. Joe

I created MEMO.DBF with just one field called MEMO which is a memo field. I did an APPEND BLANK to create one record. In MEMO.PRG, I have the following: CLEAR USE MEMO @ 0,0 say "Memo: @ 0,6 get MEMO read close all This works fine as it displays Memo: MEMO with the cursor blinking under the M...

Hey, everyone. Tks for all the help and suggestions. I decided to give up on CHR$(31) and will use CHR$(17) on the left and CHR$(16) on the right. As for using QB64, I have that and will compile my program there too. I'm using both so that everyone in the DOS/windoze world will be able to run...

mikron, I like the way you think. But... it didn't work. Using flash drives, I booted up into Windows Millennium [Version 4.90.3000] which came from Rufus and MSDOS 6.22. The downward triangle still did not appear. I attached the Help screen that shows it can be printed. This is frustrating...

No. I haven't. I'll give that a try and let you know. Tks, Joe

I'm writing a program that will allow one to look up US/Canadian phone area codes. This will be done by either entering a state/province abbreviation or area code. That part is easy enough. The problem I am having is with the ASCII 31 character. Since it is a non printing character I must use...

Phil, Thanks for the titles of the books. I remember what mine looked but not the title nor author. Joe

Phil, It's working fine after the modifications I made. When I BROWse the correct data is where it belongs. I knew that question would pop up. I only need one record because it is a survey of sorts. Only one person will be filling the questions at any given time. For each new person, I'll give...

Phil, That worked except that it never would exit. See the attached screen shot. That's okay. It got me thinking and I resolved the problem. There is only one record so go top and skip is not needed. I changed your code as follows. It works perfectly. It allows me to add more fields and exit...

Phil, It is blank and is supposed to be blank. I am looking to add a new record to a new (never before used) DBF file and not edit old records. I'll worry about editing after I am able to input new records. Joe

Let me start this again. I'll add some more information. I am using dBase III+. I have a DBF called BLACK.DBF. See the attached file. I have already done the APPEND BLANK command to add a blank record. One of the fields is called BWCHECK. This field is a character with a length of one. I want...

The following is a repeat of my original request. I did not add a USE so as not to add unneeded information and I assumed that it was a given because I am having a problem with a FIELD and the value I have trying to put in it.. BWCHECK is a field name of type character with a length of one. The...

Phil, I am working in a database. At the top I did say "BWCHECK is a field name of type character with a length of one." I used your Do Case example. I made the necessary changes and it worked. I also added @ 2,2 say BWCHECK so that a "T", a "b", a "B", or an "N" would be displayed on the...

Phil, BWCHECK is a character. I see that you used the REPLACE command rather than STORE. I'll give it a try and let you know. Joe

Feherke, Tks for the quick response. Your suggestion didn't work. I got the usual error. Unrecognized phrase/keyword in command. ? @ 2,2 GET BWCHECK valid BWCHECK = "T" .or. BWCHECK = "b" .or. BWCHECK = "B" .or. BWCHECK = "N" called from - C:BLACKS.PRG Cancel, Ignore, or...

BWCHECK is a field name of type character with a length of one. The only value I want entered is T, b, B, or N. This is the code I've written. The problem is that BWCHECK will accept any value. It then exits and goes onto the next field. Help! Tks, Joe do while ((BWCHECK <> "T") .or. (BWCHECK...
