Depends a lot on what system you are using. My gut feeling is that as long as you do not use your computer for CRITICAL information, INCLUDING WHEN YOU ARE OFFLINE, that you should be ok. I quit using anti-virus years ago because every one I tried would choke all of my computers, often to the...

So, exactly how are you displaying the data now? Numeric fields directly from your numeric data (with the resulting anomalies)? Text fields with manipulated data from your numeric data (with no anomalies)? How many screens display this data? Can you change the screens? Are you looking to create...

It seems to me that the simplest way would be to add 2 more columns for the text representation that you desire, then going forward fill the text columns, leaving the numerical columns empty. When you need a value, check the text column for with/without value. If it has a value, use it, but if...

I am impressed. I told Grok to design a simple 2-box input screen without telling it what language to use. It whipped up an HTML screen with Javascript and CSS and it worked. Then I told it to recode the input screen using FoxPro 2.6 code. It assumed for DOS and it whipped out another...

One of the main reasons I still use FPM 2.6 even though it is ancient. Just wish I could use it on modern equipment.

Tripping on itself? That suggests timing issues. Try inserting some timing delays in your code to see if that solves the problem. If it does, then you will have a better idea how to attack the problem.

It probably would have, but it is in a tiny font and grayed out. Once you mentioned it, I had to look at the page 3 times before I found the error message.

You might want to translate the error into English as most people can understans English, but few understand Hungarian. So, what does "Ez a(z) autapp01wprlvmw oldal nem talalhato" mean in English?

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.
