    external hard drive issue

    Hi DrB0b has covered most of the bases very nicely - I would 2nd his suggestion to clone before starting anything. If it were me, I would clone the original to a replacement drive and then work on the replacement drive, leaving the original disconnected. Depending on the issue with the drive...

    Treeview OleDragDrop changing mouse cursor

    Followup - Being unable to let go of this, I played around some and I have been able to get custom cursors working in the Treeview D&D. No matter what I tried with the Treeview.MouseIcon, nothing seemed to work. I decided to try using the Form.MousePointer and Form.MouseIcon and these allowed...

    Treeview OleDragDrop changing mouse cursor

    Strangest error

    A couple years ago, the small company I worked for was gobbled by a much larger organization. Up to then, I was somewhat in control of the server access and was able to "know" that issue like this were mine. However, the new org has a large IT/Security group and they are constantly...

    Hi Steve, I maintain a "File Cabinet" for my application that creates folders and stores files associated with jobs.

    SQL statement, is there a quicker way?

    Hi Steve, I will reiterate what Trento777 said above - make sure the workstations are direct connected, wifi connections do not seem to be able to perform. I have a RDS server setup for remote users and wifi users. Thanks MSC

    Combobox Dropdown List displayed position

    Chris, When I install, I have only applied the SP2 that was released back in the day (2008). All my various installs have only had that service pack applied. It appears to only affect my development environment - as I say the applications look fine on the user's machines as well as the 2019...

    Combobox Dropdown List displayed position

    Following up This seems to be something in my V9 SP2 environment. I created a form, put the combo on it and ran in my V8 and V9 VFP8 SP1: VFP9 SP2: Same form. I have an old Win7 machine and tried the same test. On that machine, the combo works as expected. I also tested on a Win2019...

    Determining real attachments from signature file in Outlook

    Hello All, I wanted to update in case anyone else was interested or ran into this issue. I found a couple of methods for handling attachments embedded in the body of an email verses attached to the email itself. In both cases, the files are found in the message's attachment object. The first...

    Hi Nigel That is how I am processing the attachments. I already ignore ".lnk",".exe", etc. Unfortunately if the sender has put a Facebook link within their email body, I will get an attachment named "imagexxx.jpg" that is the Facbook logo. Since My users want to collect all types of files -...

    Determining real attachments from signature file in Outlook

    Mike, No apologies needed. You are always quick to respond and I've seen many helpful posts from you. Again, I am real sorry for the poor explaination initially. In Outlook you can insert an image into the body of the message and or when creating a signature file. You can then add a hyperlink...
