    Combobox not populated with array

    I'd just use an array rowsource here, but if you really want to add the items manually, you need to use AddListItem, not AddItem. You can use actually AddItem for the first column, but not for any of the others. That's because AddItem ALWAYS adds a new row. Tamar

    drag & drop attachment from outlook

    Not something I've played with, but AttachmentSelection looks like it should get you what you need. Maybe show us some code. Tamar

    drag & drop attachment from outlook

    Glad I was able to help. I guess you found the code. For others, the downloads for each session on my site are linked at http://tomorrowssolutionsllc.com/conferencepapers.php. Tamar

    drag & drop attachment from outlook

    I didn't cover exactly this situation, but in this paper (http://tomorrowssolutionsllc.com/ConferenceSessions/Drag%20Your%20Applications%20into%20the%2021st%20Century.pdf), I wrote about dragging from Outlook into VFP. Look for the section titled "Dragging from Outlook". Tamar

    Command History not saved if VFP closed by shutdown

    Do a lot of people really leave VFP running for days at a time? I shut it every time I'm done with it. Of course, I also shut down my development computer (which is a desktop) every night. Tamar

    Set a TAG for a field programmaticaly

    If I remember right, the parenthesis (name expression) notation came in VFP 5. It may be that the code you're showing from KiloFox is older than that. I wrote at length about macros and name expressions and other related stuff here...

    Set a TAG for a field programmaticaly

    I think EinTerraner has given you what you need. I agree with his question about why you are creating a temporary table rather than just using a cursor. Tamar

    Set a TAG for a field programmaticaly

    A few comments to make your code stronger. 1) Don't refer to work areas by number. To find an available work area, use: SELECT 0 2) Once you have a table open, always refer to it by its alias. For example: SELECT Clientes When you do this, you never have to know the work area number...

    While there is any .f. (false logical records) in the table, do something, if there isnt any, do something ekse

    There are lots of ways to do this. If you don't mind moving the record pointer in that table: LOCATE FOR NOT knjizeno IF FOUND() * Don't allow the user to continue ENDIF or: COUNT TO nFalse FOR NOT knjizeno IF nFalse > 0 * Don't allow the user to continue ENDIF You could also use a...

    VFP to doesn't launch Ms Word's mailmerge

    Just pointing out a minor typo in Mike's code that would give you trouble in a cut-and-paste. Should be: loWord = CREATEOBJECT("word.application") Tamar

    VFP to doesn't launch Ms Word's mailmerge

    Is Word actually installed on the machines where you're having a problem? Not the Click to run or Office 365 version? Tamar

    FoxPro button status

    I don't think you can check the enabled status of a control in FoxPro 2.6. That said, I haven't had to write FP2.6 code for 25 years or so, so maybe I've just forgotten. Tamar

    Help with visual foxpro pageframe

    The point is that it's the user's computer and the user should be able to control that stuff. Most essentially, when a user has some visual impairment (including color blindness, which is pretty common), they MUST be able to override the programmer's choices, or the application may be unusable...

    Create a table with Tag indexes

    I do NOT recommend using separate IDX files to keep the CDX small. IDXs are not updated when you modify the data unless you explicitly open them beforehand. The addition of the CDX (in FoxPro 2.0, I think) was a great change, as it reduced the chance of indexes getting out of sync dramatically...

    Does a Report use the available cursor?

    I just want to point out that you should not use a macro in this query. A name expression is faster and, more importantly, works even if the file name/path contains any spaces. (I know that's not an issue the way you're doing it, but make it a habit to use name expressions rather than macros...

    Convert Foxpro Memory Variable to a DBF

    Chris had a small typo in one of his links. It should be https://github.com/VFPX/nfJson. I think you'll find that tool lets you convert JSON to a cursor very easily. Tamar

    Flagging Help topics as favorites

    Thanks, Mike. I guess I knew that was there, but never thought about using it. Just added your first three, which are all topics I visit often. Tamar

    using external classes - vcx file

    I cannot urge everyone strongly enough to use the Toolbox rather than the Form Controls toolbar. It makes all this stuff so much easier. I wrote about it here: http://tomorrowssolutionsllc.com/ConferenceSessions/Making%20the%20Most%20of%20the%20Toolbox.pdf and here...

    How to get contents of notepad file?

    I just want to add to Chriss's detailed answer that anytime you want to break up something that's regular, try ALINES() first. So, for example, if you have a line of data separated by commas, use ALINES() and specify "," as the separator. There are times you need StrExtract() because you're...

    Container on a Form

    Just want to add that putting controls inside containers is way easier if you use the Toolbox instead of the toolbar. (In my view, pretty much everything about constructing forms is easier with the Toolbox.) I've written about this...
