    Persistent error in storing JPG in general field VFP 9.0: OLE error code 0x80040011: Not able to convert object.

    I've experienced same or similar errors in the past but lately had no problem except today. I use Irfanview 64 a free image program to view and edit (usually just crop and save) JPGs from my digital cameras including my Android phone. I have viewed a saved file in Irfanview, copied it to the...

    Running Visual Foxpro on local Windows 10 machines, what if any adjustments are needed if I upgrade to Windows 11?

    I routinely run FoxPro apps, originally created in FPW 2.6 for Windows, adapted to Visual FoxPro versions up to 9.0. Both my Windows 10 64bit Lenovo P1 laptops have been problematical in that they have stopped being able to access my android phones. Seems to be something about a corrupted INF...

    Running a specific Foxfire! request from code rather than the Foxfire GUI.

    I am pretty sure this is doable, but am not seeing it thumbing through the Foxfire! reference manual. I figure it looks something like DO FOXFIRE WITH ( ... a set of parameters, which would obviously include a preference set and the name of a request and its required parameters, if any). Does...

    Read DBFs from Android?

    In a thread at Anandtech Forums on best android apps, [ https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/so-what-are-the-best-android-apps.2358587/ ] it was suggested I have a look at DBF Viewer Beta, a free download. I installed it today on a couple of my android phones and had a look. I failed to get it...

    Alternative PRG editor for VFP 9?

    I've pretty much always used the editor furnished in Microsoft FoxPro in all versions (started with FoxPro for DOS 2.6, FPW 2.6, have used every version of VFP). I have an extensive procedural application that is based mostly on a single large PRG (PROCEDURE, with subroutines, mostly after the...

    VFP 9.0 - If I unmaximize VFP it disappears entirely... have to kill the process

    Just noticed this today. I usually run VFP maximized. Just now I have use for dealing with several apps at once, so I want to have VFP not maximized. But when I click the box to the left of the X, instead of getting a non-maximized window, VFP disappears entirely. I can find no way of dealing...

    Creating a temporary table, determining it's record order

    Here's my problem: I have two tables and they share a common key. Let's call them table A and table B. The key is alphabetical, 9 characters. Table A has details. Table B tracks instances that table A items occur, i.e. date and order of item appearance on that date, by set and order within the...

    Show line/column position in VFP 9.0 PRG editing window

    I used to be able to get this at the bottom left of the standard VFP 9 (and lesser versions) editing window. I know that many VFP programmers prefer other PRG editing options (a 3rd party editor, I suppose), and I would like to hear some suggestions, but I have always just used the one provided...

    VFP 9.0 confounding show stopper... please help!

    I run VFP 9 many times daily, from a shortcut on my Win10 taskbar. It opens to a screen with buttons, and I choose where to go from there. Suddenly today and without warning (I'm unaware of having made any changes at all), I open the program and see nothing. VFP is running, but nothing is...

    Foxpro data anomaly

    Weekly, I back up my at-home FoxPro data to a portable hard drive and bring it to my volunteer job, where I copy the data to a laptop so I can access it just like at home. I use batch files to copy the data (from my NAS via WIFI), just copying what's changed. Yesterday I did that but when I...

    Embedding a JPG in a general field

    I have a table with a general field and I copied a JPG to my clipboard simply by pressing Control + C while viewing the picture in the stock Microsoft Photos app in Windows 10. I went into the general field and pasted the image. I saw it, although what I saw was a section of the photo, far from...

    Customizing browse and modify memo

    I have an app I use a ton. Instrumental are a browse of a table and going into a memo field. Seeing the memo field tends to remember my last font size, which is important to me because 8 or 9 is way too small and I usually set the font size to 14. However, in a lot of tables it defaults to a...

    Microsoft Visual FoxPro (Not responding)

    Yes, I get this not infrequently. My machines run Visual FoxPro locally, the development environment. My apps are not compiled into EXEs or APPs. Well, even if they are I don't run those, instead I run a top level PRG that gets things going. My data is on my network, on a Synology NAS which...

    Rudimentary VFP 9 form issue

    Yes, I'm rusty, so rusty in Visual Foxpro. The code I deal with on a daily basis I wrote in FoxPro 2.6a for Windows. However, I run it in Visual Foxpro 9.0, in the development environment. I don't normally create an APP with the code, much less generate an EXE. I don't distrubute this stuff to...

    Aliased table - How do I determine the actual name of the table and the path to it?

    I have a complex function that aliases a table. At a certain point in the execution I want to know the name and path to the actual table that has been so aliased. How can I determine that? Is there a function that gives me that?

    VFP 9 Command Window doesn't restore previous commands

    On this particular machine, when I restart VFP 9, the Command Window doesn't show the last several commands from the previous session. The machine runs WinXP, my others Win10 now. Is it OS related or something else?

    VFP 9.0 not open, but is asking for installation disk for "feature"

    This Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit machine yesterday asked me to insert the VFP 9.0 English installation disk out of the blue. VFP was not open at the time. This seems very strange. I was involved in installing a different application at the time. I inserted the requested disk, WTH. What could...

    How would you handle this reporting problem?

    I have a table with a bit over 600 records and one of the reports lists records alphabetically on one of the fields. The issue I have here is that roughly a dozen of entries in the field that determines the order of records displayed contain two entities. The report as constituted has those...

    Henzenwerke books, what's up with them?

    I have quite a few of them and have downloaded only a little. So, one of my NY resolutions is to download everything, the source code, errata, ebooks. I have a login from long ago when I ordered a bushel of books. But when I go to the site I see this: -----------------------------------------...

    Calling a subroutine and passing a parameter

    I had a line in a PRG: Replace recordings with recordings() Recordings is a field in the open table. recordings() returns a value determined by PROCEDURE recordings. When I wrote this, the procedure didn't require a parameter, but I decided to pass a parameter to the procedure, so the first...
