    report caption becomes a drawing

    A company I consult for took over a complex VFP program still used in the Shutter manufacturing industry. One report in particular has me stumped: the report contains several very small two-letter captions (eg TP). When the report is called, those captions somehow turn into images or drawings...

    when does a new .exe need to be made

    I've always created a new .exe file whenever I make even the slighest change in any file (prg, frm, rpt), since it only takes a few seconds to re-compile everything. But I realize that if I change a .prg which is called via a DO command, I dont have to create a new .exe (could just send out the...

    Performance problem

    I have about 90,000 dbf files in a single folder. They contain from 0 to 100 records, but generally 5-20. I have a .prg file that cycles thru all the tables and does some processing based on contents. The problem/puzzle is that sometimes this .prg file can go thru all 90,000 in about 1 minute...

    adding code to Next button click method in a Buttonset

    This one has always perplexed me - it seems if I put something in the Click method then the Next button loses it's functionality (ie advance to next record). Is that true? How then does one note if the Next button has been clicked? I need to know that, yet if I set a variable in the Click...

    huge .exe file size

    I took over a VPF 9 project, the original program was about 95% complete and had some errors. The .exe file size was about 3.3 megs. I've added a few things to the program, fixed the errors ... and somewhere along the line the new compiled .exe became 15 megs. I can't recall when this...

    'file not found'

    this one is particularly maddening, hopefully simple. I get an open table dialog box (which I should not get of course), can navigate to the folder, choose the file, yet get the 'file not found' error message (showing the correct path) of the file I just chose. Using the command prompt I can...

    table locations of .dbc in a networked environment

    after getting my stand-alone VFP 9 program running as desired, I now want to make it accessible to several users. All the tables in the .dbc reference paths on my developer machine (ie c: drive paths). The 'server' will be seen as the X: drive by the various workstations (on which the .exe...
