Hello friends, I've got a dilemma with an "outlaw" error message that's preventing me from building an APP file for a form application that also runs several sub-forms. The miscreant error message (attached) blames a supposedly invalid file that doesn't exist (and never could have existed)...

Hello friends and pros, Is there a means in my VFP 9 to embed a link in a text field (in this case a VFP Edit Box or an RTF Edit Box)--to open a file that's resident in the path of the LAN (i.e., not a hyperlink to the web)? For example, the text in the field might show "[Blah, blah, blah...]...

I just upgraded my monitor to a widescreen with 1920 x 1080 resolution; but despite numerous code and property adjustments the _SCREEN.width and .height properties continue to return 1383 x 939. And consequently I can't size images to full screen size. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Sorry for the newbie question... Is there a function to detect whether a Click event is Shift+Click, Ctrl+Click, Alt+Click, or (plain) Click? I am aware that the MouseDown event provides that status natively, but don't see how to pass that status to the Click event to be used in a DO CASE...

Hello friends, Is there a method to control the color of the check in a checkbox control? I need to alter the color depending upon other "mode" settings of the form (in this case, between green and red check marks). Thanks.

Hi Guys, Is there any way to vertically center the text in an increased-height textbox (as is routinely done in grid header captions)? Under unusual circumstances, for special effects, I like to increase the height of a textbox; but when that is done, the text line stays attached to the top...

Hi guys, I am stumped by how to input and display numeric values in a grid's textboxes, where the number of decimal places for the user differs from that of the underlying table. E.g-- All the fields in the underlying table are (always) N (10,4). But we need the user to be able to select and...

Hello friends, I have put together a simple calculator Form (with custom functions) for my own use, to be run as an EXE program, on screen, whenever needed. In order to get rid of the FoxPro screen surrounding the form, I issue _SCREEN.visible = .F. in the Init event of the Form. It gets rid...

Hello friends, A chronic confusion for me is how to control Screens and ShowWindows. Here is a recent example that illustrates the problem. I have a simple one-form app which I want to be callable at any time (even when not using FXP). I want the form to appear on my desktop (without the...

Hello friends, I just installed a new LaserJet 2420d to replace a LaserJet-5P. Everything's good except one glitch. If a print job is sent to the print queue before the printer is powered on, the entire print queue thereafter is frozen. Even if the requested job is re-sent, it just piles up in...
