    How to know if a table is already open

    Why not set up an simple error handler. on error do test llContinue = .t. use mytable in 0 on error if !llContinue ?'failed' return endif Proc test llContinue = .f. return Not very elegant but it should work

    How do you prevent the database from crashing from illegal PC shutdown

    All my apps have a housekeeping routine that will delete then recreate indexes. It is not allways convienent to run round the country fixing this sort of problem. If you have any calculated tables, it is advisable to recreate these as well.

    FPW26 to Visual 3 or 6

    Hi I tried this a few years ago moving FPD 26 to VFP 6, it was a disaster. There were so many issues to overcome that it would have been quicker to rewrite the app in VFP 6. We ended up with a hybred that was a mess, I would never go down this route again. Richard

    Setting up a com server

    Hi Mike I would like to use VFP for searching the stocklist but what has to be "installed" onto the server, to allow the EXE's to run. I intend to use ASP to call VFP with parameters to build the HTML pages.

    Setting up a com server

    I need to setup a searchable stocklist on the web. I have no problem in writing the code but I have no experience of using VFP as a com server. Does anyone have the time to list out what is necessary in setting up a windows 2000 server to run the VFP. Thank you

    Foxpro Information server

    This gets more "interesting" the more I look at it, good job this is for myself not a paying customer. I intend to do my own web hosting from end of August so that these sort of issues can be sorted out. Thanks for all the help, you have really pointed me in the right direction...

    Foxpro Information server

    This is where I get a bit vague, I am using a hosting service & I believe the web server is running linux. I have changed the properties to read & execute on that directory -- still doesn't work Rich

    Foxpro Information server

    I am trying to get FOXIS to work with foxisapi.dll as per the help file. I can get it to work in the foxpro enviroment but in my webpage it gives error 404. The command line I have been using is http://www.elmserv.co.uk/test/foxisapi/foxis.employee.startup. This is a totally new subject to...

    off topic but... for foxpro, ide vs scsi?

    If you setup your indexes correctly FoxPro is so fast the difference shouldn't be noticable. Unfortunatly some programmers don't & end up buying extra powerfull hardware to compensate for the poor code. If you are using native foxPro tables & the network fails it is possible to corrupt tables...

    Large VFP and SQL app Best Practice issue (Over 75 remote sites)

    Hi SQL replication is a black art. Things that you will need to consider Decide who originates what information on a record, when I was looking at this the remote sites originated most of the information. If a record has to be authorised then that field would be "owned" by the...

    Totals & Tally's (Cursor vs. Filter Performance)

    I read some years ago an article discussing the pro's & cons of this. It really is all down to the size of the data that is being searched & the size of the subset required. If you had a massive table 500K records & the subset was lightly to be > 200K then a set filter would be more efficient...

    Large VFP and SQL app Best Practice issue (Over 75 remote sites)

    I have done some work on this type of problem. Is all the information on the central site anyway? Is SQL SERVER being used to replicate the data to all the sites? If the answer to above is yes then transmit a reference to the data that is already on the central site. otherwise it gets more...

    data paths

    The problem was linked (I try not to ramble) Because I had used the dataenviroment in the form this had the effect of storing the path to my test data. If the EXE is "Installed" it will change it. The solution is to create SQL views "on the fly". At this point I realised I...

    data paths

    Thanks everyone I didn't have my brain in gear I was double buffering when I didn't need to Rich

    data paths

    I have used a local view in one of the forms, when the form is run on the target machine it is looking down the test data path not the application data path. I could create the view programatically in the load event Rich

    data paths

    I have set up my working data & I have installed VFP om the target machine. As new features are added to the EXE I would like to make a new EXE then copy it onto the target machine. What do I have to do to achieve this. Rich
