Exactly why I do not use long file names.

Yes. If you have "customerzip" and "customername", FoxPro substitutes "custom~1" and "custom~2" to avoid conflicts.

It seems to me, although I never use them, that FoxPro 2.6 for Mac CAN use long file names. However, as Mike says, neither DOS nor Windows versions of FoxPro have that capability due to built in limitations of those platforms. I have no idea whether or not FoxPro for Unix can.

I have been coding for 44 years and have never made it past FoxPro 2.6 simply because everything I have written, and continue to write, keeps working. Why fix what is not broken? That said, even though I am greatly in favor of extending the language, I will never leave 2.6 behind, simply...

If you want us to help you debug your FGETS() code, we will need to see your code. No code = WILD GUESSES, most of which will be WRONG. Having said that, and having written code using FGETS(), it seems very strange to me that FGETS() is causing your problem. Have you examined your text file...

This does not make any sense at all. Are you saying that the Geek Squad scrapped (threw it in the trash) your Dell computer and it was replaced (and later scrapped) with another different Dell computer around 4 different times? And every single Dell computer had the same exact issues? If that...

I just drove 200 miles thinking about my problem. I never thought to check whether any of the SET/SYS functions might do what I need done. When I get a chance I will check them out.

Thanks. You have given me some ideas to try. Your code throws "Alias 'MyButton' not found" error which makes sense since MyButton.Enabled is trying to find the 'Enabled' field in a table named 'MyButton'. IF MyButton = 'ENABLED' throws "Operator/operand mismatch" error. I am thinking that I...

Is there a way in FP (and maybe VFP) to test the status of a push button, that is to return whether a button is ENABLED or DISABLED?

FPM 2.6b only. Your poll implies DOS & Windoz versions only even though it says any versions.

None of them since they won't run on my Macs. To be complete, I think this poll should have specifically included FP versions that run on platforms other than DOS and Windoz. I realize that they could be implied to be included the legacy version category listed. Sure, these other versions are...

None for several reasons. 1) I only write and maintain FPM 2.6 for in house applications 2) None of those will work on any of the MACs I use. 3) I am too old to waste time learning something that I will never live long enough to be proficient with.

Apple BASIC, 6502 machine (a bitch one byte at a time), and 6502 Assembly via Merlin Assembler.

I am sure everyone is getting this junk. That is what happens when one throws out the baby with the bathwater.

How are we supposed to pinpoint a solution for you when you do not show us what you are doing?

You calculate the price of any room by multiplying the length by the width by the cost per square foot.

Yeah, very unintuitive. Probably not going to be easy to remember either since it will probably be a blue moon before I need to do it again. That said, it should be very simple to port over the current list of FAQs as of the date that the forum was ported, which would solve the most pressing...

I just discovered something else that needs fixing. Many recent (after April 17, 2019 as best that I can tell) FAQs never got ported over. I cannot find any after FAQ 7953. At least two of my FAQs have gone missing, #8776 and #8777. It appears that the ported FAQs were ported over from an...

This should not be dependent on the browser, it should be part of the Preferences for the forums. Might be ok for those that use only one computer, but what about those of us that use multiple computers some of which do not have the correct browser and some of which we do not have the correct...

You have me confused. You say to add a prefix to the URL? So, if I add a prefix to the URL, wouldn't if follow the form PREFIX + URL? For example, Frank:Frankspasswordhttp://example.com/blah.aspx Your example shows splitting the URL and adding the credentials inside of the URL.
