Mostly your problem will be solved if you just associate the 'fxp' extension files with foxpro for DOS, which is in your D drive. You will have to locate the 'foxpro.exe' application manually, as most probably it won't be shown in the application list. Just double click any file with extention...

Thanks guys. I'd try Mike's idea first. It's not just I am used to it. Already there's a software distributed to my friends. At present I am asking them to key in the data received through email. If Mike's idea works out, there will be a considerable time saved and also avoid few errors...

I have a domain. At present I am collecting information from people and sending it to my mail through pHp. If I need to store them in a dbf, which I may download daily for offline purposes, should I install anything additionally on server side? Or is it just enough if I upload a dbf file with...

There is a popular accounting software here in India, called Tally. It doesn't cost much here. I think they have solutions for UK too. No idea about their pricing though. Check here: https://www.tallyaccounts.co.uk/ ------------- Looking for knowledge from anyone, anywhere.

Thank you guys. I am trying to completely change the project to Windows style, but I try to minimize the need for mouse usage, The user is most likely to be the kind of people I said above, automobile mechanic or petrol pump operator or sometimes security guard. I was building it using @...say...

@TheProgrammerGuy Thanks for your suggestions. Not only the client, I myself am new to VFP switching from DOS version. I am learning and developing a project as well. ------------- Looking for knowledge from anyone, anywhere.

Thank you Mike and Olaf. Looks like I have to learn lot. Pageframe is not my option at least here. Either grid or container looks to be the choice. I wish to display the Officers' list and the history of repairs in two square boxes side by side. Since the user has nothing to input there than...

Hello guys, I'm back with a question again. My client has a History Sheet of vehicles admitted in his garage. (The garage is a Government owned, so their style of working is little different.) I need to show them the History if they input the vehicle Number. For example: If they input the...

Oh.. That cleared lots of confusions Mike. Thank you. ------------- Looking for knowledge from anyone, anywhere.

Thanks everyone. I am getting lot of information. I have to agree that some are far beyond my understanding, but please don't stop. I have checked Tamar's guide, Olaf's links. Everything is interesting and I am trying everything. So far I learnt a little to create a form, placing some...

I have programming experience with Foxpro 2.5 (DOS) and I quit the industry long back. Now I am back to programming. To better utilize the he VFP, what should I focus getting acquainted? Where can I? Any help please.

Why should you initiate the variable by ctod() ? Just declaring vardate = {} will be enough. And the error message you said looks odd. Was that the exact error message? Or was it Date/datetime evaluated to an invalid value ? (This too displays a dialog box.) By your question, I guess that it...

Since they got VFP, I don't want to go back to DOS. For data entry too, I have designed and given them few quick forms, so at present the problem is postponed. Moreover as per their own experience, even when the DOS version was working, they had to quit Foxpro and then only the reports started...

Ha..ha.. It was just one day and the shading is back even without using the 'picture' clause. Additionally there is shading wherever I used the 'Style' clause. However, my client said that this output was enough for them. But, this thing is driving me mad. (The text 'Vehicle No.:' wasn't...

Yeah, the Underscore, not hyphen. It's my mistake.

I just tested Griff's code with CHR(151) instead of hyphen and it looked like this. There is a huge gap between lines. I was searching a substitute for the chr(196) in DOS versions. I hope this CHR(151) can replace it.

I am terribly surprised. I just removed only one picture clause and see the result. I have given the part which generated the watermark. @prow()+1,5 say VSLNO picture '999.' @prow(),10 say SUP_DATE && stands for DATE of SUPPLY @prow(),23 say INDENT_NO && picture '9999999' <-- The...

I have previously worked with CrystalReports, but this VFP Report Writer looks completely different. However I have to compulsorily move towards VFP reports.

Previously there were N number of items and the total cost was TOTAL_VALUE. So, AVG_PRICE = TOTAL_VALUE / N Then, M units have been issued out. So the value of the remaining units is BALANCE_VALUE = TOTAL_VALUE - (M * AVG_PRICE) BALANCE_STOCK = N - M Next, again there is a new purchase N1...

Yes, just saw that. I'm more used to Foxpro for DOS. This CHR(196) was a long hyphen like character. We used it to draw borders.
