    REPLACE command

    To All Contributors: I have learned a great deal from you all. Thank you! The program with the issue is working fine with the way I worked around the issue. It doesn't do as much as we wanted, but it does get the basic job done. I am now choosing to close this thread. Again, thank you for...

    REPLACE command

    To All, Thanks for your insights and time! Before posting this thread I used the debugger to follow the REPLACE processes comparing the related variable and it's field in the table. When the line containing the REPLACE command was stepped through the Debug window, with an entry for both the...

    REPLACE command

    To all: Many thanks for your input! The EOF scenario isn't the issue since other fields in the emailtbl table are populating just fine. (I wish that was it so I could use the suggestion.) Dan Freeman's comment about properly scoping the field is a method I used in the program. Based on all the...

    REPLACE command

    To Jrbbldr and Olaf, Thank you for your submissions. First, I want to apologize for taking so long to respond to your comments. jrbbldr, your response was helpful and helped some and taught me a thing or two. Olaf, your comment as to showing some code was right-on. Here are two sample code...

    REPLACE command

    Greetings All! I am working on an old FoxPro 2.0 for DOS system. Things usually work well but recently I bumped into the following situation: 1) From within FoxPro via the Command Window, a new table was created normally. 2) However, a Date field, a Numeric field and 1 of 4 Character fields...

    Displaying DOS graphical characters (double-line) in VFP 5.0

    Dan and Mike, Thanks for your responses. I completely agree with you both. I need to redo the menus 'Windows-style'. It took a while but I came to the same conclusion. Hearing from you both locks it all in. Again, many thanks. MillsRS

    Displaying DOS graphical characters (double-line) in VFP 5.0

    Hello VFP community! I'm moving an old FoxPro 2.0 DOS application into VFP 5.0. Most things are okay, but graphical characters like 'double-line' come out as something else. I've been researching Code Pages but with no success yet. I 've got the DBF files working just fine, but the graphics...

    MS FoxPro for Windows 2.5a - creates bad EXE's

    Olaf, I tried looking into your advice but had no luck primarily because the whole scenario is 'over my head'. But I DO appreciate your time and ideas. Thank you! Dan, Good News! I created your 1-line project in the FPW folder and the EXE ran PROPERLY! My next step was to retry my project. It...

    MS FoxPro for Windows 2.5a - creates bad EXE's

    Dan, Yes, I'm launching the EXE from within Windows Explorer (so far). To be honest, I've never checked to see if the .APP is around, because I place the EXE in the directory where the data tables are which is different than the FoxPro for Windows directory. After all this we've chosen to...

    MS FoxPro for Windows 2.5a - creates bad EXE's

    Hi Dan, I took your question in the spirit intended because I feel its on track. In the project I selected the 'top-level' program and then, from the PROJECT menu, selected the 'Set Main' option. A black dot appeared in the project window next to the correct program's name. Is there more I need...

    MS FoxPro for Windows 2.5a - creates bad EXE's

    Hello Dan and Olaf! Thank you both for your latest suggestions. Dan, my DK does create an EXE but never opens my 'main' top-level program. The associated Config.fpw is in the FoxPro for Windows folder and any 'Command' lines have been remarked out. Olaf, I have used old-style WAIT WINDOWS to...

    MS FoxPro for Windows 2.5a - creates bad EXE's

    Hi Dan, I have chosen to create a 'main' program named main.prg that contains the code you suggested and a call to the 'welcome' program. The code doing the same job in the 'welcome' program has been commented out. I set the new program as "Main" in the project. After creating an EXE and running...

    MS FoxPro for Windows 2.5a - creates bad EXE's

    As always, thanks for your help! As you'll see, the screen builder started things and then I copied the code to a .PRG and expanded from there. * ********************************************************* * * * * 11/06/14...

    MS FoxPro for Windows 2.5a - creates bad EXE's

    Hello Tamar, Dan and Olaf! Again, thank you all for your time and energy. Tamar advised to put in some WAIT WINDOWS to see how far the EXE gets. I've done so and not even the very first one (at the top of the program) appears. I've also put in the Foundation Read that was so strongly suggested...

    MS FoxPro for Windows 2.5a - creates bad EXE's

    Thank you Tamar and danfreeman. I will try the progress marking WAIT WINDOWs and I will also try closing the COMMAND window. Please let me know what questions you have to give you the additional information you would like. I will get back to you with it as quickly as I can. millsrs

    MS FoxPro for Windows 2.5a - creates bad EXE's

    To danfreeman & everyone, I have tried coding in a 'Foundation' Read following the example code. Unfortunately, it made no difference. I even tried a variation on it to no avail. Many thanks to danfreeman for offering a suggestion that was more than worth trying! My system is not menu-driven...
