I have been hesitating concerning how the FOXUSER.DBF file should be used. Should each Project have a FOXUSER.DBF file set in its own directory, or can we use the FOXUSER.DBF file within its Installation directory like: From the Environment Manager I notice that you can choose any location...

I have a 55" monitor on a 4K monitor and it is great for VFP. Absolutely love it. But there is an irritating problem on the bottom line, where I keep the staple following little utility windows. From left to right on the BOTTOM GROUP, I like to have them sit as follows: Bottom-Left I...

I can deal with this when I know which table's Index is blown. But here I have close to 60 tables in a DATABASE and I have no clue if it is complaining about a table index or the DATABASE index. REINDEX DATABASE seems to take a few seconds and does not complain when it is done. So, it must be...
