    Unexpected text box behavior

    Just put a VFP 9.0 base class text box on a form and have run into two unexpected results; 1) entering .01 as a default value is automatcally changed to 0 ... I gather this object is autoformatting the contents but I don't see a property that can stipulate a format 2) changing the backcolor...

    GNU Cobol

    I looked over at a point of sale terminal the other day thinking that it was created by a dos version of Foxpro ... surprise ... they indicated it was COBOL. Is there a cheap way to look at this language ie a GNU version for Windows/Dos? What would be required for a small (6 PC) multi user...

    Not sure what is going on ... yesterday I did a reboot instead of a hibernate and the Blue screen of death showed up ... the last updates from MS were not critical and this problem started shortly after ... I rebooted with F8 to last known boot but since then I have had nothing but problems...

    smoke and mirrors?

    findrecord

    This may be a lame question ... I am having a major block with this command because I don't follow; - first how to determine what object/table this command is seeking from - second how to determine what field it is supposed to search. Given a Form with a combo box combined with a subform which...

    Another Print issue in Word

    This is kind of a fossil request ... back BG (before GUI) when the ASCII set was expanded to use LINE DRAW characters Word would construct table boxes using the ASCII set. Indeed if I use Word 97 on a Windows 95 Machine and analyze the PLC4 commands in a Print to file this is what is used. Now...

    Printing issue with Word

    Is there a way to completely clean out a Word Documents history? Sort of like the repair and compress that is done in Access? I have an enterprise application that must have ASCII strings (read printer fonts not truetype rastered fonts) in a print to file but for some reason Word 2000 (under XP...

    What record model to use for new projects?

    Trying to determine the best solution for moving forward with VBA record finds. Some literature state that dlookup is slow on larger tables ... I tested this against a 200 record DAO recordset findfirst and the DAO model was about 25% faster ... based on the coment I gather this will change for...
