    ?Equivalent of SEEK

    Hi Mike, I believe my comments where refering to SEEK, LOCATE AND SQL SELECT commands and not to the browse Command. In a traditionnal VFP Application, all the data processing is done on the local machine. Therefore data has to be sent via the network to the workstation. Rushmore...

    ?Equivalent of SEEK

    Hi Benson, You are using an MSSQL server in the backend. My suggestions do not apply for they are, as Mike pointed out, relevant only if you use the native VFP backend (DBC-DBF). Jean http://www.sigp.ca

    ?Equivalent of SEEK

    While using SQL statements make better sense if you think migrating your application to a Client/server architecture, it does not provide speed gains to a classic Foxpro application using the native Database container and DBF Files. In the Client-Server architecture, VFP sends an SQL command...

    Unable to find Unknown CSTR

    Cstr is not a native VFP function. I suspect that it is a User Defined function (UDF). This function should be in a prg file that was not sent to you. Have no fear, you can probably replace CSTR(pass_str) with TRANSFORM(pass_str). Jean http://www.sigp.ca

    Replacing a character string through a whole project

    Hi Mike, I cant speak for tmaycroft but I have to say that this thread is most instructive. I've been using vpf8 for a little more than a year and I did not know about the code reference tool, nor did I know about the third party solutions available for this. Thanks to all Jean...

    How to: Remove highest price item when more than one found

    Hi Mike, The reason the Set EngineBehavior 70 is needed is because of the "Group by" clause. This SQL statement should throw an error if Set EngineBehavior is 80 or 90. Lee, Sorry for the missing comma. I need a new pair of glasses. Jean http://www.sigp.ca

    If you run Win XP, you can delegate this responsibility to the OS. There is a FAQ on synchronizing time between machines here faq184-3505. You could also do a search on web services. Jean http://www.sigp.ca

    Advice needed

    Hi Onliner, You may want to read before tackling such a project. Jim Buyens's book "WEB DATABASE DEVELOPMENT" from microsoft's press is probably your best bet. It will introduce you to various technologies essential to web development. Jean http://www.sigp.ca
