    Can i put code in Unload or Destroy?

    I totally agree to that procedure, Greg. Also the fact that you do RLOCKs for extended periods of modifying data like an invoice or order or a students timetable or a POS systems receipt in one header record of a data structure that usually has multiple records in further tables. You also then...

    Can i put code in Unload or Destroy?

    Mandy, I think at some point you came across what Mike said, a fail of VFP to do an automatically lock when you try to do a REPLACE. In part maybe also, when you do a totally wrong REPLACE as your code had - a replace in another workarea than is currently selected. You can program that, it's not...

    curious syntax-error (problem solved)

    By the way, the COMPILE command will not only list error messages of all errors, they are always preceded by the source code containing the error. So this little demonstration shows SEP is replaced by 9, SepChar not. Anyway, you can see what the precompiler did. Only for lines that become...

    curious syntax-error (problem solved)

    Thanks, atlopes. I don't know why I didn't test and thought it would be worse. That makes constant substitutions a little less dangerous. Still, it poses a constant danger you could reduce with a prefix only used in contant names, for example. But that's not applicable when using already...

    curious syntax-error (problem solved)

    Syntax error free code is the #1 intention. And #2 understanding what led to the syntax error in compilation of that code. EinTerraner just stumbled on a self induced problem, not so obvious. Maybe it turns out another mechnaism causes that syntax error, too, you never know. But the #define...

    curious syntax-error (problem solved)

    MarK. a user defined property. The class is based on "custom", that was specified. So it has nothing to do with the native separator control class. The problem also is not with the separator property but the sepchar property. I can't reproduce the problem with a sepchar property name alone...

    Offering the user the option of database browsing

    I extended my first example of the SET DECIMALS effect: Create Cursor crsTestData (iNum Integer, fNum1 Float(20,18), dNum2 Double, nNum Numeric(20,18), yCurrency Y,nMedium Numeric(8,4)) Insert into crsTestData Values (1,0.123456789012345678,0.123456789012345678,0.123456789012345678, 0.1234...

    Offering the user the option of database browsing

    Andrew, the field type does not determine how many decimal places are displayed in BROWSE. You have that problem as developer, too. How do you solve it for yourself or do you even care? You know a N(x,y) field stores x places overall x-1 could be usable for decimals as the decimal dot itself is...

    Find the location of the column in the VFP table

    Such errors are easily fixed by adding the missing bracket, bharons. The code needs you to replace <alias> at several places with the alias or table name you want to search in. So if you want to try that alternative solution, first do that. Also set a variable MyString to what you want to search.

    The new look....

    Since the content is centered scaling to 150% (by Browser, not by site style) made the font readable to me. But that means only two posts are visible, only one fully.

    Site Migration Problems, anyone?

    When revisting older threads, indeed one of the things I thought would still work out is highlighting. So highlight tags appear in code, for example, making it hard to copy and run code with such features, not supported anymore. Not sure if there are more.

    Report Form print sizing problem

    Well, I think you established alöready for yourself that only the foxypreviewer report engine (preview) is rendering a report correctly when Windows text scaling is >100%. The VFP9 report egine, no matter if from the orignal VFP, SP1 or 2 or the latest hotfix, all versions of that don't take...

    Find the location of the column in the VFP table

    EinTerraner, bharons is looking for a field that contains a searched value, the search value is not the field name, so this is not a search for a field name by a (partial) field name, but by content. Think of it in the corner case of trying to search a value in all fields of a table and not...

    FAQs - anyone know where they are for VFP

    Hello Jon, thanks for looking in. There's a point in the intent of the hamburger menu to be there to accomodate the smaller physical size of mobile devices: What's in there should not be among the most frequently used nav items, too. Well, you can argue to put in all navigation there, too. And...

    FAQs - anyone know where they are for VFP

    Does Hamburger menu tell you anything? If you're frequently using your smartphone to browse the web you should be used to the web page styling differing from the Desktop layout. And one now everywhere used item is the three lines that sketch a menu aka hamburger button or hamburger menu...

    FAQs - anyone know where they are for VFP

    Does it show as a box to you? to me it shows as a link that obviously is context sensitive, i.e. while you read a thread of some forum you get to that forums FAQ(s). I just noticed a nice change, you can just paste in images into a post, simpler than before.

    Site Migration Problems, anyone?

    By the way, I'm no moderator here, if you see anything that could be of interest to Tek-Tips themselves, perhaps use the rpoert feature and tell them about it. I don't think wel'll get all features 1:1 as they were previously, they surely tweaked the XENforo forum software as much to reflect...

    Cursor Adapter

    It's okay, I could have looked more closely at your screenshot to begin with. I could ask now if you're actually more fond of the CA class or the dataenvironment class, but that's also not a main point. It can also be see4n why you think of your CAs as cursors, as the tab of the dataenvironment...

    Site Migration Problems, anyone?

    It would be nice, but I can live without that. Now, before you point out the password reset/recovery feature, just reread all I wrote already.

    Site Migration Problems, anyone?

    No Griff, you're completely misinterpreting the situation,. I know my old account was Chris Miller. I created this new account and, of course, couldn't reuse the old name, as account names need to be unique. Do you really think I tried to log into an account that didn't exist before today...
