Morning; I have a bunch of old routines developed in 2.6 (in a 16 bit environment) that became quite unstable under Vista and Windows 7 (and even on select boxes under XP). So I upgraded to VFP 9. The transition went quite well except that in some programs (PRG routines, not compiled) I get a...

TamarGranor I found a PDF of an applicable section of that book on line. (Some people are apparently not big on copyright and such.) I've tried one of his suggestions thus far - specifically forcing the program to run in it's own memory space. I thought this might work, as increasingly I am...

DS and Dan; Appreciate the suggestions. DS - I did create a super simple application and used it in conjunction with a TMPFILES command in the config file - same result. And Dan - For installation we've followed the same route we have for a decade - copy the exe file plus Foxw2600 (everything...

Tried that. Splash and then back to the desktop. D

Thanks for your input JB My problem is that I am unable to install FoxPro on the machine giving us the problem, and therefore have no command window to work from. (The application is compiled into an executable file.) I have tried adding a config.fpw in the directory containing the program...

Danfreeman; 2.6 for windows, and nope - there is no way he had admin rights. Thanks D

Hello; A coworker has been trying to run an old application and gets an error message: "A temporary file needed for initializaion could not be created or could not be written to. Make sure the ... path exists and space is available. Choose close to terminate" It is running on a relatively...

Hello; We have several old applications developed and compiled under FP 2.6. They have remained stable despite their age until recently. A coworker has the primary applications installed on a relatively new machine running XP SP 3. When executed there is a brief "splash", and then we're back...

Afternoon; Assume a table that has a left most field indicating a client identifier, as well as a product identifier, and a number sold field. (A record might indicate that client John bought 3 widgets.) In a given month John might have bought 6 different profucts. All those details...

Good morning; I need to generate a report that simply cannot be displayed on a single page, even in landscape mode on legal paper. I assume there is a process one can follow to create a two page report. (That is, if there are fifty lines to be displayed the output will be 100 lines.) Can...

Morning; I want to highlight every second line in a report. I thought I had it when I conditionally formatted based on record number, but that isn't working when the LINE in the report represents data from multiple records. (That is, several records are summarized to a single line in the...

That's great. Just one problem - The running total works just fine when placed in the group footer, but shows as zero (or null) when in the header. Am I to assume this is the way running totals work? (Intuitively that makes sense.) Any way I can shift it to the header? Thanks D

Good afternoon; Assume we have three distinct records from a single individual - each record indicates a numeric estimate for a specific datum. My report has a column for each of those three pieces of info. So I have the client identifier, followed by the three estimates, using a formula to...

Another situation that I found using an SQL command advantageous occured when I had two tables to relate on a common field, except that the common field was numeric in one table and text in the other. (Aaargh!) I couldn't link them in the normal manner, but CR was more tolerant when I used an...

Morning; I'm working in a database with which I am unfamiliar, and that is undocumented. CR is my sole access to the data. What I need is a printout of the field structure. It appears this functionality is not immediately available, but I'm hoping there's some sort of obscure function one...

Morning all. In getting up to speed on CR I have two drill down reports that are both working, but seemingly in different fashions. I'm missing something. In report "D" I display client records (there's only one from each client) - at DDGL (DrillDownGroupLevel)=0. It then groups on county...

I have a report that is working quite well - it involves drilling down (from the county level) into the details of the data. On inspection, though, I want the drilled down level to reflect a group, essentially. (That is, when I drill down I want the report to indicate the summation of multiple...

LB, your reputation is well deserved. That was the toggle I needed. Thank you.

I must say you all are a helpful lot, and I do appreciate the assistance as I get up to speed with CR. I would like to have my report header repeat when I drill down into the report. I could set up a header "B" and suppress based on DrillDownGroupLevel, but I have to think there's an easier...

Ian; I'm not using a running totao. Rather, I am summing the field by county group. My problem is that everything I do to the one column is likewise done to the other. So in the first column I am trying to display sales by men (for that county). In column 2 I want the sales by women. Like...
