    Saving form changes in Access XP

    When I try to save changes to a form, I get an Access generated error that says that I require 'exclusive rights', but it appears to save the changes anyway? This is only happening on a limited number of machines and works fine on others. Any suggestions?

    I thought it might be this tedious. Thanks:)

    Merging tables

    I've got two tables storing information with thousands of customers and tens of thousands of orders. Table A stores information about 'A' type orders and table B stores information about 'B' type orders. I've been asked for a report merging the two tables into a report in the following format...

    System defaults in VFP 8

    I am noticing that I have to continually set system defaults in VFP 8 when I didn't have to in VFP 7. I am constantly having to enter "SET TALK ON" and "SET STATUS BAR ON". Is there some variable that I need to set within Windows? Any suggestions? Thanks, Paul

    The GETWORDNUM() function seems to work perfectly for my needs within a scan loop. Thanks again, everybody.

    Parsing names within a field

    I have a table that needs its structure and contents reformulated. The 'NAME' field currently contains entries like 'JOHNSON JOSEPH T', or 'SMITH BILL'. I need to parse these into separate fields for last, first and middle names. What's the easiest way to do this? Thanks, Paul

    Office XP and mscal compatibility issues...

    My users are being converted from Office 2000 to Office XP. This seems to be the cause of an 'Invalid Callee' error I'm getting when I try to navigate through an mscal.ocx that I have in my Fox application. Does anyone no if these objects are still supported in XP? Thanks, Paul

    VFP 8.0....is it worth it?

    We upgraded to VFP 7.0 a year ago, and now my supervisor has asked if we should upgrade to 8.0. I read about the new functionality on Microsoft's website but I wanted to get some testimonials from some users before I make a recommendation. Thanks in advance.

    Record Pointer within Grids

    During runtime of my application, the record pointer seems to move to the top of the source table when the user clicks on a record inside the grid object, following a short delay. Any ideas?

    Splitting strings in a table

    I have a table with 4000+ records. One of the fields contains a measurement(500cc, 1ml, etc). The user wanted to limit the choices for entry type(ml,cc,etc), so I added another field to the table for measurement type, and dropped a combobox on the form with valid choices for the user. Hence...

    Transaction tracking

    I'm attempting to install a transaction tracking system, FoxAudit, to an existing application. I've followed all of the instruction for the install, and the program seems to work fine until I log out of my app. Then my application crashes and throws me an 'alias not found' message from some...

    string replacement in a memo field

    I have a user that has spelled a word incorrectly within a memo field, 2874 times. The word misspelled is contained within an otherwise correct entry. I am able to retrieve the records with the misspelling by using STRTRAN, but I'm unable to specifically replace(correct) the errant word within...

    SQL "Group By" doesn't sort

    Shouldn't it be 'order by date'?

    Memo searches

    How would you use ATC() to find a string 'JONESMR'?

    Memo searches

    We have a memo field that's written to as part of a transaction log. How can I search through the memo fields in the table for a specific string?

    Memo field data loss

    Thanks everyone. I also discovered today that the data was probably not 'lost', but rather corrupted, merged, and slammed into the memo fields of about 10 of the 137,000 records in the table, causing 'Fatal Error' messages anytime I queried against the table. I uncovered a copy of a data...

    Did you try putting your code in the 'Programmatic Change' event?

    Memo field data loss

    The loss was limited the data entered yesterday, and it only affected the memo fields(comments, translog, etc). So, even the previous night's backup wouldn't help. I was more concerned as to the cause, and whether Foxpro is notorious for data loss in the event of server outages.

    Memo field data loss

    We lost our production server for about 5 minutes yesterday. When it came back online, I started getting phone calls from the data entry personnel complaining about lost data. All records entered yesterday had all of the 'Memo' data fields(Comments, Transaction memo field) wiped out. All...
