    Is there a way to export to a newer version of Excel?

    montypython1, CreateExcelTemplate is used to create the default (new, empty, or whatever you want to call it) Excel file. It is included so that I don't have to automate Excel to create a new excel doc. This even allows for export Excel docs when Excel isn't even installed (such as on a...

    How to force Outlook to send items from Outbox

    As TamarGranor has already said, this is a user-controlled Outlook setting. Without some sort of hack like the aforementioned sendnow, you probably aren't going to get around it. You can use Extended MAPI to get around the security message using the VFPExMAPI.fll from my blog... VFP Extended...

    Another way to do this in Win2k and above is to use the GetIfTable() function in the iphlpapi.dll. Using it is much more complex than the other 2 suggestions in this thread, but the good news is that someone has already done the heavy lifting for you...

    More efficient way than this?

    The REPLACE command, unlike an UPDATE statement, is actually performed in the order in which it is written. So to increase performance another 10-15% you could use the following (modified from the examples given in this thread)... REPLACE ALL UPCOLD WITH CHRTRAN(UPCOLD, "ABSL", ""), ; COLUMN5...

    Is there a Save event in word that VFP can trigger

    You can probably use VBA in the document to modify the field value in your dbf. That's the only way I can see this happening since the Word document could be edited outside of your application (started by the user manually instead of through automation). SweetPotato Software Website My Blog

    programming pocket pc application via VFP

    Well, I would have said that you should do this using Visual Studio and the .NET Compact Framework, but judging by your PS it appears that you don't want to do this. So, I would suggest hunkering down and learning a little embedded Visual C++ instead. Neither of these will feel like vfp to you...
