I have been away from VFP too long (11 years). I have a comma separated memo field that contains data like (Baltimore, Boston, Denver). Some records contain only three items, other can contain up to 12. I want to create a table with one record for each location. It should be simple but I'm...

Olaf, I agree with you to a certain extent. But, there are many handicapped people who have conquered their disability through persistence. Too many people fail because they quit the moment the going gets tough. A marvelous gift to have is supportive people whether they are parents, spouses, or...

Mike, I've considered writing such an article. There are a number of details that I skipped. One of them concerns my mother who in the early 1950s became a pioneer as one of the first New York City women cab drivers. She frequently drove double shifts and even had an article written about her in...

Dan, Mike, Olaf (and others). It took me half am hour to connect with iYogi support in India. Once connected, I was on the phone for 2.75 hours as the technician took control of my HP Pavilion. He began by deleting various bloatware programs that kept popping up windows because "my software...

8.1 is getting me frustrated. Fortunately, I decided to lease the Pro version of Office 2013 and that meant that a Microsoft gal in El Salvador took control of my machine and did the install. Sadly, I am not able to get my email on my regular account because my provider has Pop3 service and...

My appeal for help was based on a problem I had trying to load Family Tree Maker. Because of the negative experience, I expected the same result with VFP. I followed Olaf's advice and everything went smoothly (which was exactly what I tried with FTM). I've been involved with computers for more...

I'm 78 years old and just moved from a machine running Vista to 8.1 and I'm confused. Help is desperately needed!

Assume that I have two name and address tables: mynew and myold. Let's populate both of them with client, zip and phoneno (and other fields). I seek a query that would produce a listing of old clients who are not in the new clients file. Select client, zip, phoneno from myold where client not...

Jockey2, Thanks for the the tip but I am having trouble getting to the message. I am not a member of Foxite but I visited the site and tried a search by thread which failed. I then tired the message id which also failed. Can you forward the actual URL? The Senile Senior Don Sun City, AZ

I would like to create a grid similar that performs like a data query in Microsoft Office 2010. Visualize an Office spreadsheet with the following columns: firstname, lastname, city, state. In office, I can set a filter on each individual column. So, for example, I set state="AZ", I will see...

I have a memofield that contains the full names of people which are separated by commas. The number of names in a record can be as few as three or as many as nine. The names were input as firstname, middle name(or initial) lastname. Commas are used only to separate fullnames.I would like to...

Olaf, You did it again! Changing the form from modal to modeless corrected my development mode problem. Mike and JRB also educated me. Many thanks to all of you. The Senile Senior Don Sun City, AZ

I am using VFP9. When I run a form, I am getting a Properties.Desktop screen that overlaps my form. I cannot move this properties window which blocks my txtbuttons and prevents me from exiting the program. I cannot find an option that turns off the properties window when running the program. Is...

Olaf and Mike: It looks as though I created an interesting exchange. For the record, I changed pageframe.Themes to .f. and it accomplished what I desired. Thank you, Olaf.

I'm using FoxPro9 and trying to display 0,255,255 as the backcolor on one of the three tabs of a pageframe. My color source is 4-Windows colors. All the controls on the tab are transparent. Why am I not getting a blue background? I've gotta get more books for my FoxPro library...

Olaf, Thanks for helping with this problem which had me hung up. It now works great! I thought I needed a second variable for the text I wanted returned. I see now that after manipulation, I am returning info through the same portal through which I sent values. Warmly, the Senile Senior

Hi, the Senile Senior is having a problem with a function returning a value. I have a form that contains an editbox that does not have a controlsource tied to a table. The intent of the edit box is to display data compiled by my FetchIt function. The function is called by FetchIt(acno). This...

Mike, Olaf, et al Thanks for the help...problem solved. Originally, members was a one character field with several alpha options. When I reduced the options, I converted the field to a logical field and forgot to adjust the code because of change in field type. I made much bigger mistakes...

My table contains a logic field. I want the output to display "True" if the value is "T" or 't' otherwise, the value should be blank. I tried "iif(upper(member)="T", "True"," ") in the When method. It doesn't work...I am baffled. How can I accomplish this simple task. I have been away from...
