    External monitor stops working - Winkey+Ctrl+Shift+B fixes

    I love Tek-tips. I have used the Visual FoxPro forum for many years. The experts are sooooo very helpful. BUT, for several years I have steered clear of clicking a googled solution where the solution is on Tek-Tips website. Why? 90% of the time when I access Tek-Tips, my laptop screen and my...

    I have a Topaz signature pad. It captures the customer's signature at the end of a sale. It can save the signature to a string (it is a very long string), a sig file which I guess would be Topaz proprietary, bmp, jpg, png, tiff and wmf and emf. I have it saving the signatures as an jpg image...

    why will vfp not create tlb

    I have many vfp projects. When I recompile all of them except one, vfp generates the executable, a vbr and a tlb. All of my projects contain at least one prg that defines a class as olepublic. That is why they all generate the tlb and vbr files. This one project generates the vbr but no tlb. Can...

    I have a POS app. Many years ago I embedded control characters in a VFP report to make the EPSON TM-T88V receipt printer execute the cutter. Below you will see a screen print of my report. Notice the small g is placed at 2 places in the report. If you look at the properties of that object it has...

    Calling a PRG from a COM server - results is it does nothing

    In almost 30 years of writing foxpro, I've never seen this. I have a project compiled to an exe that is my main app. I have a separate project compiled to a MTDLL. This "program" has no user interface. I call it a COM object. I call the MTDLL from the main app. Works great. Been working for 30...

    Hello all, First, congrats to Olaf. I know he has helped me soooo many times. I apologize for providing so little help myself.
