    Weird error in FPW2.6

    I'm getting similar messages. Just put in a brand new Dell: pent4 w/ 128Mg RAM. Two problems: some days, it is VERY slow getting into SBT Pro3.2. Then kicks randomly a system error/network error even though it's been ok. Other times, when trying to enter the pgm, I get the 'O big corrupt wrong...

    I/O operation failue

    I've gotten the I/O operation failure when I inadvertantly had a non-existing/wrong drive letter hiding someplace in my config files or program. Even happened when someone 'accidentally' changed the path in the sysdata file in SBT... -Larry.

    foxpro 2.6 win -- Watcom 386 Read Error problem

    I have run across the same problem. The ff is from a different site (alas, I've lost the reference--it was on a Palm Pilot for some time...). There are comments by the host of the site, but I've included it all. It may also help to redirect your fox resources to the local drive instead of the...

    Foxpro 2.5 print buffer

    Just a postscript/expansion: if there are no fancy requirements, I get very fast response to create a Fox/DOS report, send it to a file, then to the printer. No messing with the printer settings, either. Just a (little more) thought...

    Foxpro 2.5 print buffer

    I'm wondering if this is a fancy Laser-type report or just a dump of text in a readable format? If bold print/fancy lettering is not an issue, I have found that sending the report to a text file first, then copying to the printer can bypass some of these sticky printer-related problems. By the...

    FILES DBF

    We have had great success with RECOVER by abri (www.abri.com). It has even repaired memo files! It can also be called programmatically, either within your program to be proactive, or to check for errors from a list of databases. It can be run within FoxPro, or they have a stand-alone version...

    FoxPro 2.5 DOS/Win2000 printer pause problem

    I have a potential workaround. I was working on a Novell network, and the print server continually interfered with printing checks and invoices that were not full-page sizes. Assuming that Win2000 is also getting in the way, you may try what I did: I used a DOS report and sent the results to a...

    Time accessing records

    I have found that a faster way on a large database is to loop through the dbf with SCAN - ENDSCAN or DO WHILE NOT EOF() - ENDDO. Then use IF ACC.N_MH = MH.N_MH AND MH.C_MHTYPE = "DEBTORS * copy needed fields to cursor/temp dbf * and append to cursor/temp dbf ENDIF Of...
