    Multi User APPEND in Shared Table

    Hello to all, I apologise for this late reply, it's been a hectic few days. Because of that, I made the mistake of using an old form with controls on it. I thought I'd deleted all of them, but there was also a grid, way down on the form, and i forgot completly about it. Anyway, I decided to...

    Multi User APPEND in Shared Table

    Hello, I have a VFP table opened as shared. The table sits in a shared folder (with read/write priv) on my LAN. Users append records from a form then they close it. It works great. But only one user at a time can append. If more than 1 user opens the form and appends, the first one that appends...

    Multiple pages text report - no table in data env.

    I never knew what Stretch with overflow does, because I never used reports that much. I've tried it now, as you suggested, with a memo field (after inserting some text), and It's better than before, much better. I was storing the text into a C 164 field because it would not show the entire line...

    Multiple pages text report - no table in data env.

    I've tried 2 methods, the first one is faster, and you have much more control of the output, the second one needs to have word installed, but once the whole model-document is created, the results are better. Method 1: a. Create a table with one field (C 164). - test.dbf b. I've cleaned the...

    Multiple pages text report - no table in data env.

    I was also considering this approach: create 4 reports, 01.frx contains the text of the first page of the contract, 02.frx the second and so on. I believe data band or header band can handle 1 word page of text. Then I could combine the 4 frx files into a doc, and send this to the printer. I'll...

    Multiple pages text report - no table in data env.

    Yeah, large amounts of text in Vfp reports seems not to go well. Shame. Anyway I'm gonna try your suggestion and split the text into A LOT of chunks, and append these into a table. Experiment with that a little bit, over the weekend. My last resort is Automation, which I have no experience...

    Multiple pages text report - no table in data env.

    Hello, I have a application that prints out orders, after data entered in a table, and modeled in a report. All works great. Now I also need to create a contract for each order. Data for the contract will be pulled from a couple of fields in a form, to variables, and then into a report ( I...

    Start external .exe from Vfp .exe

    Thank you both for your help. There were already values to the columncount .columncount=215,80,85,120,110 I found that adding on form.init thisform.list1.ColumnCount=ALEN(MyFiles,2) fixes my problem. Your suggestion did the trick: cFileName...

    Start external .exe from Vfp .exe

    Hi, I am using Vfp 8 on a Windows XP. My goal is to create a VFP .exe that can start an external .exe. This external .exe (among other executables) will be located in the \plugins subfolder, in the folder of my VFP .exe. VFP .exe location : C:\Test External .exe location...
