    Decompiling Clipper

    I've decompiled many Clipper apps with Valkyrie. Did one today and got "Locked File-Decompilation not allowed". Anyone know what causes this or any way around ir? I migrate Clipper apps to Windows and clients send me many apps to decompile. Never seen this error before. Bob Morris...

    Networked version of VFP app. Runtime error

    Networked version of VFP app. Runtime error

    I usually do VFP apps in Visual FoxExpress, and I guess it take care of the following problem, which I'm sure has a simple solution, but it escapes me know. My VFP app runs fine on the test system. When I network the app, i.e. make the test folder shareable on the net, and run the EXE from...

    VFP 8.0 menu weirdness

    I'm baffled. I'm converting an old Fox app to 8.0. It has a menu defined in the code. When I do a REPORT FORM PREVIEW or DO FORM <name> the user defined menu disppears, and the System menu appears. This was working, I have no idea what changed. On the REPORT FORM, the menu changes upon...

    2003 Server print queue issue

    A client has Server 2003. The printers have an IP address. The problem is - the Server can not ping or find one of the printers. Issues: 1) The server can't ping anything (has Internet access is off, is this related?) 2) a workstation can ping the printer and the server, yet the server can...

    How do I force fixed space fonts in printing

    Thanks to all for replies > My understanding of your post is that your reports are .prgs and you need them to stay like that. Yes, I do, at least for now, There are way too many report PRGs to convert them to report forms. Adding FONT &quot;Courier&quot;, 9 to the end of each @ say would work...

    How do I force fixed space fonts in printing

    I'm working on converting two ancient Fox DOS systems to VFP. Both have reports done in code, not in report form. I need a way to force these reports to print with fixed space fonts. In Fox DOS, these reports print with the DOS fixed spaced fonts. However in Windows they print with variable...

    A client has an ancient system written in DBase IV with over 3,000 report forms. I'm converting it to Visual Foxpro. Anyone know of utilities that will convert these report forms in batch mode to VFP reports? Bob Morris www.bomoco.com

    Importing Visual FoxPro memo fields to Access

    Anyone know how to import a FoxPro table with memo fields into an Access table with memo fields? A direct import doesn't seem to work, as Access doesn't recognize the FoxPro memo fields. Do I need to write a macro? Bob Morris www.bomoco.com

    This is weird. When building an app or exe using project manager I get &quot;Not a Table&quot; and the build stops. The Help for the error says &quot;Not a table (Error 15) The file that Visual FoxPro is attempting to use as a table contains an improper header.&quot; I've created a new...

    Visual FoxPro fixed fonts

    An elderly client needs to migrate his ancient FoxDOS app to VFP. He wants everything to look and act exactly as in the FoxDOS app. No new anything! The screens are done with @ SAY's, not with Forms. I'd like to default all the @ SAYs, etc. to FIXEDSYS font so everything lines up nicely, as in...

    Clipper to VFP printing weirdness

    Thanks to all who helped. IF the client wants the reports done in the VFP report form, then I will, otherwise my kludge is working fine. Two SET PRINTER TO commands, eh. How weird! Bob Morris www.bomoco.com

    Clipper to VFP printing weirdness

    Good point. It reminded me of how I fixed the same error in a Clipper to xBase conversion. So, I changed the code, writing the report to a text file then use TYPE TO PRINTER command to print it. Works great, as everything is handled in a Windows-like way now. Bob Morris www.bomoco.com

    Clipper to VFP printing weirdness

    I'm converting a Clipper app to VFP. The printing is acting oddly. For example, the following PRG prints fine as a stand-alone, yet does not print at all when I include it in the application - all I get is a blank piece of paper ejected. The programs calling this are plain vanilla menus. I'm...

    I/O operation error

    The workstations are Win 98. The errors started happening when they upgraded the server to NT 4.0. Also, another workstation can not select printers as they once could. The Foxpro code simply stopped working. The app is on the server, all the rights look fine. Workstation A Can not print...

    I/O operation error

    A client with several workstations get &quot;I/O operation error&quot; on one workstation when attempting to run a REPORT FORM or to open a project file. All other workstations are fine. I can open PRGs on this workstations, run the rest of the app, yet can not run this one report or run a...
