    Selecting PDF output seems to change VFP default directory

    Rick, I've seen this with Adobe PDF drivers, Win2PDF, PDf995, etc. There are some other print driver things that will cause the directory to change as well (output to text file, etc.). I think with the Amyuni, the rendering takes place before it writes the file out so you don't have this...

    Selecting PDF output seems to change VFP default directory

    Oh yeah, we've definitely encountered this. You need to reset your directory after calling the report like so: LOCAL lcCurrentDirectory *% Save Current Directory lcCurrentDirectory = sys(5) + sys(2003) REPORT FORM foo PREVIEW TO PRINTER PROMPT SET DEFAULT TO &lcCurrentDirectory Hopefully...

    inprocess dll

    Yes, it is a major drawback especially if making a lot of little tweaks to your COM server. I believe West-Wind Web Connection has some way around this, but I'm not sure. You may want to check it out: http://www.west-wind.com

    inprocess dll

    In process DLL's are pooled by IIS - in other words, they stay in IIS memory space - the advantage is performance, the disadvantage is the deployment issues you are running into. When I'm developing these myself I keep a command window open and just type the following: iisreset /restart It's...

    What are the top VFP Nemesis

    I'll cheat and just point to a wiki topic ;-) http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~VFPRookieMistakes~VFP

    Web services

    I'm in the same boat right now. I'm leaning towards doing my web service in .NET, mainly because I'm sick of dealing with COM objects and all the crap that goes along with that. Also, this web service should be a relatively simple one consisting of a business object with some validation (some...

    ACCESS FOXPRO DATABASE WITH VB6

    Sounds like the DLL is not properly registered for some reason on that machine. Check out the following KB article to see if that helps: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;278604

    Read DBF

    Yes it can. You can use the ODBCDataAdapter or if the xBase format you have supports it, I recommend the OleDbDataAdapter.

    ACCESS FOXPRO DATABASE WITH VB6

    Are your DBF's contained in a DBC? If so, you should use that type of access vs. just going at the standalone DBF files. Gives you more of a true client/server type access and you will have access to all tables in the DBC within one connection. I'm doing the following from ASP and it works...

    Converting .TPS Files to MS-Access or XML

    Yeah, great. What if the original developer is disgruntled and uncooperative? Did Topspeed every consider this? I'm sure they did and I'm sure a lot people shell out money for something they may only need once. There ought to be a law forcing them to publish their structures. So, anybody...

    VB batch list method

    zemp, I'm using a "fabricated" recordset just for passing data in/out of my object. No backend database so no update call needed. It looks like I solved the problem, however. It was the length of the description field being increased to 60 and I still had 30 in my recordset. I just...

    VB batch list method

    Did some Google searching... discovered this error is related to the ADO recordset. Possibly the fact the batch description holds 60 characters vs. 30 now. I love it when I solve my own problems <g>

    VB batch list method

    OK, I found out the calling program was not checking for errors. I added some exception handling and this is what is happening: Multiple-step operation generated errors. Check each status value: -2147217887 Any ideas? Again, this was working perfect under version 5.0 Thanks, Randy

    VB batch list method

    I have a method to retrieve open and ready AR batches and populate an ADO recordset for passing back to the calling program. Since upgrading to 5.1A, my client is now only seeing 1 batch record coming back from this method. Unfortunately, I don't have an easy way to &quot;debug&quot; this...

    Lock desktop . . .

    Correction to my post, you need to do the maximize last: SET SYSMENU OFF _screen.TitleBar= 0 _screen.BorderStyle = 0 SET STATUS BAR OFF _screen.WindowState = WINDOWSTATE_MAXIMIZED This is awesome as there will be no keyboard available so they can't hit Alt+tab or Windows key, etc. We're...

    Lock desktop . . .

    Hey, check out what I just &quot;accidentally&quot; discovered. The following will make VFP8 take over the entire desktop, even covering up the taskbar. We are doing a touchscreen app that will be in a public place as a &quot;kiosk&quot; - we don't want anyone being able to get to the desktop...

    AccPac Automation

    Thanks zemp! That takes some of the worry away for sure. I'll look into the IAP thing.

    AccPac Automation

    Actually, this wiki topic was way out of date. I just updated it. I only show the AR examples. Again, I'm just looking for some assurance that this will continue to work with version 5.1

    AccPac Automation

    In case anyone is interested, I posted my VB class code on the Fox Wiki: (we're using VFP on the front-end) http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~AccPacAutomationWithVFP Not sure if this is the most up to date revision, but I think it's pretty close.
