    APPEND BLANK fails to move pointer

    INSERT INTO 'faster and safer' than APPEND BLANK?" My 2 cents, INSERT INTO takes the values and updates the table and index at the same time. Whereas APPEND BLANK with REPLACE or GATHER MEMVAR updates the index twice. Once with the blank record then once more with the values. Granted, it don't...

    VFP Report not printing in windows 64 bit

    Take a look at your system variables such as _REPORTOUTPUT and _REPORTPREVIEW using DISPLAY MEMORY. Depending on where you have VFP installed, they may be pathed to "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)". You may have to change that. Or you can always copy the OUTPUT.APP and PREVIEW.APP to...

    SIR HOW CAN I RUN MY OLD FOXPRO2.6 PROGRAMMES IN WINDOWS 7

    Foxprow 2.x can run on W7 32 bit, but will not run on W7 64 bit OS. You would most likely have to use virtual box with an earlier version OS. -Dave Summers- [cheers] Even more Fox stuff at: http://www.dave-summers.net/foxprolinks.htm

    Problem with File Not Found Error

    Maybe I'm missing something, but you first create the file, then you CD (TMPPATH). After you have changed directory, you are possibly no longer in the same directory as 'MAKEDBF.PRG'? Or maybe TMPPATH needs a call to ADDBS()? -Dave Summers- [cheers] Even more Fox stuff at...

    Windows 10 Tablets

    Just a quick follow-up, the Surface tablet so far is working great. :) It hasn't been field tested yet (as in, data entry in a dark location), but the supervisor is quite happy with the size and portability, so I'm not going to bother looking for anything smaller at this point. I also ordered a...

    Windows 10 Tablets

    Thanks Tamar. I am really trying to stay small. The people need portability, so I'm trying to stay with 11" models or less. If I was more sure of 8" model being big enough to see the app on, I would have even gone with that. I'll just have to see how this one works out. -Dave Summers-...

    Windows 10 Tablets

    I appreciate the input from all of you. Tom: This app is only used indoors, so no weather issues. I will buy cases though, as the people using them aren't gorillas, but everyone has a tendency to drop stuff. Mike: This is a simple data entry app (reading meter data) so I only need really basic...

    Windows 10 Tablets

    Hey all, I'm writing an app that will be used by 'field' personnel on portable devices. I am researching some Windows 10 tablets and would like input on pros, cons, etc. Any experiences or preferences anyone has with VFP apps - not a full VFP/IDE install - on tablets. -Dave Summers-...

    Help speeding up an SQL query over a network

    The first thing that stands out for me is your use of LOWER(). It has to be called 6 times for each record which will slow things down some. Maybe not a lot, but it could. Since the characters are already lower case, use == instead. As in: pur_type == 'i' instead of pur_type=LOWER('i') Double...

    How to change a Library to a folder.

    Libraries are basically folders. For example, to get to "Libraries\Pictures\My Pictures" Browse to "C:\users\jnvan\Pictures" To get to "Libraries\Pictures\Public Pictures" Browse to "C:\Users\Public\Pictures" Poke around a little. You'll find stuff. -Dave Summers- [cheers] Even more Fox...

    Net use and LPT ports

    I'm thinking maybe there's something goofy with the driver. If the USB->LPT driver installed correctly, there should now be an LPT port as far as the machine is concerned. Check with the converter manufacturer and see if theirs is W10 compatible. -Dave Summers- [cheers] Even more Fox...

    Windows 10 rebels.

    Me. My home computer, my co-workers home computers, and all of our office computers (50+), all of our location kiosks (~400) are mostly Windows 7, with a handful of the kiosks being XP. We will not be upgrading unless or until we have no choice. Why? First, if it ain't broke, don't fix it...

    C5 error happening at line READ EVENTS

    I can think of a couple items that could be causing some grief beyond the usual VFP suspects. Things such as flaky or sporadic network communications, bad I/O states for comm ports, third party OCXs, insufficient permissions, bad drivers, ... Care to elaborate? -Dave Summers- [cheers]...

    Dynamically Disabling Grid Row if Field is True

    Glad you got it working! Hopefully, there are a couple hairs left. ;) -Dave Summers- [cheers] Even more Fox stuff at: http://www.dave-summers.net/foxprolinks.htm

    Dynamically Disabling Grid Row if Field is True

    I'm thinking you could use two controls, on enabled and one disabled, and use the DynamicCurrentControl rather than enabled or disabled. -Dave Summers- [cheers] Even more Fox stuff at: http://www.dave-summers.net/foxprolinks.htm

    how to run internet explorer 11 in kiosk mode while still having a forward and backwards buttons.

    Are you not able to code your own navigation buttons? Making a secondary way of navigating is pretty much a requirement when there is no keyboard or mouse available. -Dave Summers- [cheers] Even more Fox stuff at: http://www.dave-summers.net/foxprolinks.htm

    Copy image to clipboard GDIPlus-X

    Okay, so there is a link and snippet of code above, but neither contain comments, commentary, explanation, description, usage, logic train, why, whatfor, whether, ..., nothing. That's what I thought this forum was about. -Dave Summers- [cheers] Even more Fox stuff at...

    Windows update never finishes "Checking for updates"

    That last time I had that happen a reboot was all it took to fix it. The time before that, I had to uncheck all optional updates, let the critical updates install, then go back and do the optional updates. Your mileage may vary. -Dave Summers- [cheers] Even more Fox stuff at...

    VFP 9.0 Abysmally slow performance on windows 2008 server

    That in itself should be a big clue. Apps I have developed and installed locally in a single use environment have usually performed plenty adequately if not screamed, no matter how much they were pounding on tables. So before digging too deep into server optimization or issues, I think the code...
