    Compile time Defined Constant not acting like a constant.

    Thanks Jim and Borislav but I am looking for a way to display the Compile Date automatically and not have it change until I compile the application again. All the above dates are alway the current date. If someone has an example of what they have done to accomplish this task, please show me...

    Compile time Defined Constant not acting like a constant.

    I have a form that is used to display my applications Logo and the last time it was updated/compliled. Thinking that the #Define line of code is only read during Compile time I define a constant 'DATECOMPILED' and then used this constant in a label to display the last time the application was...

    I can not make an OLE Internet Object visible no manner what I try?

    Thanks Mike Lewis, That worked great. I will do some research to better understand what is happening when I execute the code you provided for me. I was wondering should there by any clean up code after the user is done with the HP site to free up memory, like maybe: Release shellexecute()

    Thanks Mike; I simply want to have my application to open up the Web page so the users can view/use both at the same time (foxpro Equipment Tracking System and HP’s warranty web site). At this time I put the serial number of the equipment into the clipboard very time the user moves from one...

    I can not make an OLE Internet Object visible no manner what I try?

    Thanks Mike, I believe that someone erase my previous question, asking me to post it somewhere else? Anyway, your suggestion didn’t work? I get an error (object doesn’t exist) which is understandable because it is not visible. The property .OLEwarrantyUrl.Visible is False and I can’t change it...

    Memo table doubling in size

    Pack the memo field to see if the memo field file *.FPT returns to some normal size. Thoughts: I beleive the memo field works like this and someone correct me if I'm wrong: The 10 digit memo field is only a pointer to the location of the data in the *.FPT file and this pointer is changed every...

    How do I change the foxpro look?

    Another simple way is to pass the -T parameter to the FoxPro Executable. I use the following all the time. Example: Myapplication.exe -T -Cmyconfig.fpw -T tells FoxPro not to show the FoxPro Logo -C tells FoxPro to use the following file for configuration.

    Forms Releasing when first called.

    I use a Read Events in place of my old Read Cycle Act() Deact() statement. All my application systems are started with a Menu, Logo, and Read Events. No Databases Open. The user can then call one of many Forms in the System i.e. Equipment Tracking System. I was under the impressin that you could...

    Need advise on how to SetFocus on objects

    This isn't a Answer but More to add to the Confusion!! I thought this was the answer to my problems when I saw Jim Booth's Tek-Tip but it didn't work for me. All my forms reference a object to go to in Valid statement depending what the user does/Validation. I created a Form Property call...
