Thanks for that. As I orginally suspected you are using the change event to write the value back to the field. Are we saying then that this defo doesn't work in vfp? If so I'll bite the bullet and implement a new class based on dtpicker as you have. Just so long as I know I'm not losing it...

Hi. I'm using the Microsoft Date Time Picker control on a form in my vfp6 project. It's an olecontrol and the oleclass is MsComCtl2.DtPicker.2 It works fine - and I've used in plenty of times - but I don't seem to be able to get it to change the contents of a field in a table. When i set the...

You'll also find you need to make the form model in order to return a value from it. Your problem in the first place is that with a modless form code execution continues in the program you used to call the form - so your variable doesn't get set in the unload event until sometime after you have...

Thanks for all that guys - I'm going to take a look and I'll let you know the results. Cheers Ian

Thanks, Actually I can read the file using various functions, it's converting the packed decimal bits of it that I need to do - foxpro doesn't automatically do that..... any other ideas? Ian

Hi. I have a file (which is supposed to be a text file) which I want to read in a vfp application. It originates from a mainframe system and apparantly contains packed decimals, which, apparantly is why it's gibberish. Does anybody know anything about packed decimals + even better know of a...

Actually you can place the required vfp runtime dlls in the working directory of the program. I admit this doesn't usually mean that a DLL can be used. More often than not you have to register a dll - but this is simply so that a piece of software can locate the library. With the runtime dlls...

Sorry chris, you're not making any sense could you tell use where exactly the option is to create a standalone executable in vfp 5,6 & 7? Ian

Hi spayne, You shouldn't have any problem doing what you're doing. There's nothing about files created in vfp under windows which would make it unreadable by an msdos application. The only two things I can think are: 1. the file is simply named incorrectly, make sure it's not got a long...

drhenry is right, in that the best way to distribute a vfp application to a machine with an unknown configuration is to use the setup wizard, it will install and register all the runtime libraries you need and any active x controls etc. ChrisChamberlain is also correct, in that this method does...

The ability to use transactions is also a powerful feature of DBCs. Having looked at thread you mentioned it seams that the contributors had tried out DBCs, had problems and then given up! DBCs are a very powerful, and in my opinion, essential part of VFP. With all the added features I...

Or it is a character expression but with non-numeric characters in it.

When messing with temporay files in the past, I've found the best solution for shared applications is to set the temporay files path in vfp to a directory on the users local driver (like c:\temp). You then always preceed any temparary file names that you create with this path. SYS(2023) returns...
