Thanks for the tip - it works :-) Should have thought of it myself. Guess I'll carry on taking the coffee. <p>Andy Blay<br><a href=mailto:a.d.blay@talk21.com>a.d.blay@talk21.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

More info: The above description applies if the application is run as either an APP or an EXE in two instances of FoxPro. However, if it's two standalone EXE's, then the error message window is replaced by a GPF in FOXTOOLS.FLL and the application quits. Since the application is only used as...

I've just discovered an annoying problem when running two instances of my FoxPro application. The app makes extensive use of the MSGBOX function within the FOXTOOLS.FLL library. If I have one instance display a MSGBOX window, then exit the other app instance, returning to the first instance...

OK, I've got no excuse for that one (i've just had my first coffee). Of course, the query I used was: select * from err where ((.f. or .t.) and (.f. or .f.)) or .f. <p>Andy Blay<br><a href=mailto:a.d.blay@talk21.com>a.d.blay@talk21.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

Chris, I also get the same error (1 record returned), using your simplified query: select * from err where ((.f. or .t.) or (.f. or .f.)) or .f. Like you, I'm on FPW2.6a and NT4. <p>Andy Blay<br><a href=mailto:a.d.blay@talk21.com>a.d.blay@talk21.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

Just a thought, but do the Win98 PC's have the same sort of drive resources available (e.g. CD-ROM, network, etc) and drive letter mappings?<br><br>I have seen postings relating to this sort of issue, and have experienced problems with a Project moved from a WinNT PC with lots of mapped network...

John,<br><br>I agree with you, but to avoid misunderstanding by others reading this thread I believe your comment needs clarifying.<br><br>Low-level language:&nbsp;&nbsp;Machine code<br><br>High-level language:&nbsp;&nbsp;BASIC, Fortran, FoxPro, etc<br><br>An application using a low-level...

Virgo,<br><br>Not quite sure what you mean by &quot;binary that 'snuck' in&quot;.<br><br>Are you using the REINDEX command?&nbsp;&nbsp;In cases of corrupted indexes, it is usually recommended that you delete the existing index files and then manually recreate them from scratch. <p>Andy...

Is that the same as a crashed PC? :-) <p>Andy Blay<br><a href=mailto:a.d.blay@talk21.com>a.d.blay@talk21.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

I actually DO want to use VFP, get to grips with OOP, add ActiveX controls, fly to the Moon, etc, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;Not to mention being able to use variable names longer than 10 characters.&nbsp;&nbsp;In fact, sad to say, I'm quite excited at the prospect.&nbsp;&nbsp;BUT, my role in life is to...

I'm not sure what would count as a complex read.&nbsp;&nbsp;All my screens are modal, usually one screen per read but in a couple of cases up to six screens in a read.&nbsp;&nbsp;Doesn't feel particularly complex to me!<br><br>Although I'm interested in how VFP6 could help here, I would do my...

OK, I can live with that.&nbsp;&nbsp;As long as it reports accurately if there is less than 2Gig!<br><br>The space issue itself is quite easy to fix, since it is remote disk space allocated on a network as opposed to free space on a local disk (so I just have to put in a request for more space...

Many thanks to you both for your advice.<br><br>I hate to admit it, but I suspect that I'll stick with 2.6 a bit longer (after all, better the devil you know...)!<br><br>The only trouble is, 2.6 seems to have a habit of throwing wobblies at certain points in the PC upgrade path (for example, the...

David - thanks again for your response.<br><br>I'm not sure your solution is easily applied to my situation.&nbsp;&nbsp;To undo a failed, and possibly partial, record save due to lack of disk space, I would presumably need to restore a table's files from previously-saved backup...

David - thanks for your prompt response.&nbsp;&nbsp;So no solution, I guess.&nbsp;&nbsp;Does VFP also have this RETRY problem?<br><br>In reply to your question, I use SET REPROCESS TO 5 SECONDS so that there is a chance of the system sorting itself out before the user has to make a decision...

I wish to migrate a multi-user application executable from FoxPro 2.6 for Windows to a suitable Visual FoxPro platform.<br><br>I briefly tried migrating the app to VFP 3, using the simplest of the migration options, but even then additional work proved necessary which, at the time, I couldn't...

Just a thought, but did the programmer build any other means to exit into your program (e.g. a pushbutton or menu entry)?&nbsp;&nbsp;If so, try these instead.<br><br>My experience with FoxPro 2.6 for Windows is that ON SHUTDOWN... is only required in order to exit via the window Control...

In FoxPro 2.6 for Windows running under Windows NT4, I've noticed that issuing the RETRY command after certain errors doesn't seem to do anything.&nbsp;&nbsp;Execution continues as if the retry had worked, but the program line which caused the error is not re-executed.<br><br>The specific...
