    InstallShield and VFP 9 Merge Modules.

    I did install the IS version 5.0 from the CD. I checked, and all the files WERE in the Merge Modules folder. If there is no VFP_Runtime.msm file, then the issue lies with InstallShield. I started with INNO. I just wish I had more warning that IS would mess up. Thank you. Sam

    InstallShield and VFP 9 Merge Modules.

    Years ago, when I updates VFP9 I saved the SP files and the HotFix File. I also ran isxfoxpro.exe from the [installshield] folder on the CD. I am only missing one file VFP_runtime. I have no problems with any other merge modules. Can some possibly search their PC's for the file and send...

    Email automation with OUTLOOKNEW

    I have been using ShellExecute to automate outlook emails from within a FoxPro app. Everything was fine until we upgraded to Windows 11 and had to switch to OutLookNew. Now we gat a message that this feature is not supported. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Sam

    directory name is invalid.

    I believe it was something with the GPO refreshing/updating. Using a timer seems to help. Thanks everyone. Sam

    directory name is invalid.

    Chriss, I don't do any mapping. It is done by the user's IT dept., using GPO (Group Policy Objects). I didn't mean only one user has this issue. I meant only one customer installation is experiencing it. I have asked the user to see if this issue occurs if the app is installed on a...

    directory name is invalid.

    Koen, This is the code CurrDir = SYS(5) + SYS(2003) IF RIGHT(CurrDir,1) == "\" * DO NOTHING ELSE CurrDir = CurrDir + '\' ENDIF File_1 = LoggedPath(CurrDir + "CLDATA" + RIGHT(ALLTRIM(STR(xYear)),2) + ".DBF") The files are not on the desktop. The app just seems to be looking there...

    directory name is invalid.

    Mike, The app can print to a PDF driver, but the program never gets that far. The error occurs after about 60 lines of pure simple code, except for 1 ADIR() function call: mostly setting SETs and other assignments. Sam

    directory name is invalid.

    Koen Pillar, The directory is set with SYS(5) + SYS(2003). Remember the issue only arises when they exit the app and immediately re-invoke. It occurs in the main prg module. Sometimes my error handler is not invoked, and it displays an OS error/message. Sometimes it gets a little further and...

    directory name is invalid.

    Tom Borgmann, Both your suggestions make sense, but I think they would be issues for their IT department. I will mention it and see they say. Sam

    directory name is invalid.

    Chriss, No mapping at all. User selects an existing drive for app and/or data location. Sam

    directory name is invalid.

    I have an app that seems to be working fine, till the user exits. The folder becomes temporarily unavailable. If they try to run the app again, they get a message that "x:\folder\xxx\desktop\file.dbf does not exist". This happens when they run it from a desktop shortcut. The folder actually...

    Portrait & Landscape combines

    I use a code in a prg file to send multiple forms (frx's) to print, using NOPAGEEJECT on all but the last page. The quote form the help file gives me an idea about what i'm up against. Xfrx sounds interesting. I'll look into it. Thanks, Sam

    Portrait & Landscape combines

    I searched some of the past threads and did not get an answer. I did learn that combining portrait and landscape in troublesome. I would like to print several different pages at once. One of which is in landscape mode. I hack the FRx's REPLACE TAG WITH cEmptyStr, Tag2 WITH cEmptyStr...

    ALTER TABLE not completing the process

    To clear things up. The application prints several pages of data for submission to various agencies. Every few years somebody decides to changes the information required. The table has a limit of the number of fields, so we do it this way. AS it turns out, a colleague at another office had...
