    Extract embedded file

    Thank you both for the replies. I tried rgbean's suggestion and it worked great. GriffMG, I'm sure your's would as well. Both are based on the same principle - get an EXE, or in my case, an APP into a memo field and then at some point write it to disk. I knew there are some commands that will...

    Extract embedded file

    Hi, I want to create an EXE to use as a makeshift installation program. I include the Apps in the project and create the exe. What I want to do is have the program copy the imbedded file out to the hard drive. I've done something similiar before when the file is a table - just use the dbf and...

    set relation to and replace

    >>SET RELATION TO idd INTO B Do you have a field called "idd" or was this just a typo? I noticed that you named your index tag "idd", but you need to reference the actual field name for the relation.

    Problem using Dos report form to create html file.

    Thanks, I make sure that my regular reports have the tag and tag2 fields cleared, but these are old-style Dos report formats and those fields are already blank.

    Problem using Dos report form to create html file.

    Hi, I wanted to see if anyone has any ideas. I use Fox 2.5 for Dos to create report forms, not to print with but for creating web documents. I put the html tags in the report and then in my VFP 7 programs I run the following code ... REPORT FORM (cRepFile) TO FILE (cHtmlFile) NOCONSOLE where...

    Application Focus

    You could try this ... DECLARE INTEGER SetForegroundWindow in WIN32API INTEGER hWinHandle SetForegroundWindow(_VFP.HWND) If you are using VFP 6 or earlier, you would have to use foxtools to get the window handle.

    VFP7, pictures in menu ...

    I was going to ask if you ever found a solution, but as I was typing, I thought about rgbean's reply and it dawned on me what was happening. My menu is in a MENU directory, so when I "modify menu menus\main" and specify an icon file, the menu is storing the files path relative to its...

    Invalid Path or File Name on Network

    Hi, sometimes when my program (VFP 6 SP5) copies a file to our server (Novell) or tries to use a file on the server or append from a text file on the server, I get an "Invalid Path or File Name" error. If I retry, it always finds the file and goes on fine. A wild guess is that the...

    Printer Driver Win 200 Pro

    Had the same thing happen here when the department got new win 2000 machines. Updated VFP from SP3 to SP5 and the problem went away.

    Windows XP and USB Printer

    Thanks for the reply. I had already installed both the new drivers and the firmware update to no avail. I found an article about changing the drivers for the Intel 82801BA/BAM USB Universal Host Controller. I will give that a try. Thanks, Chris

    Windows XP and USB Printer

    Didn't mean to post this twice. The first time it said the sever could not be found. I guess it posted anyway.

    Windows XP and USB Printer

    Hi, I just got a Dell Dimension 4300 with Win Xp. I also bought a Lexmark X83 (a usb connection only printer). My problem is that although it works ok when first booted, if I log in as another user by using the fast-user switching feature,I then get a "failure to communicate with the...

    Print Preview Toolbar

    Hi, does anyone know a way to programmatically dock the print preview toolbar when previewing a report. I don't use a resource file and I use the "window" clause to force it full screen. The problem is that the toolbar is undocked initially, and I would like to have it automatically...

    Packed decimals

    I don't know if this will help, but someone in our IT department wrote this little function in order to translate a mainframe file that was created with a cobol program. It involves passing a string that contains the number to be converted along with the implied decimal position and it returns...

    W95 thinks something changed.

    <<Have you recently played with your BIOS? If you mean the setup screens you can get into when the pc is first started, I haven't touched that. <<Is your BIS set to Plug and Play aware OS? Don't know. It would have to have been set by default. <<How about IRQ handling in the BIOS, has that...

    W95 thinks something changed.

    Hi, everytime I start windows 95, I get a message that says &quot;Windows is now setting up the following items&quot;. It doesn't list any items. It's as though W95 thinks something in the configuration has changed. The message is displayed for a few seconds and then goes on, so it's not really...

    Citrix causes problems for Visual Foxpro

    No offense taken. I don't run foxpro through Citrix. It runs as a standalone app on each desktop. There's just something that Citrix changes in the environment when it runs that causes VFP to crash when it exits. I have discovered that an older IBM doesn't crash, so it's got something to do with...
