    Install VFP 6.0 SP 5 on Vista

    Sorry it took a while to get back to this, but after copying all the pieces over top of their counterparts in all the appropriate directories, everything seems to work just fine! Thanks for everyone's thoughts on this. Rick

    Install VFP 6.0 SP 5 on Vista

    Thanks John for the confirmation (although I never got any messages!). I had no problems with 8.0 and 9.0 either - just 6.0 SP5! Rick

    Install VFP 6.0 SP 5 on Vista

    Hi Dave, Yup I tried that. In fact I tried running them in XP SP2 compatibility mode too, but still no errors and no success. Since SP5 has the all the files expanded (at least for VFP), I'm considering just copying them over thier base counterparts, and hope that there aren't any critical...

    Install VFP 6.0 SP 5 on Vista

    Because I have to occasional support a VFP 6.0 SP5 app, I thought I'd try installing this on my new Vista machine at home. While the VFP 6.0 install went fine, the SP5 update fails because it requires MDAC 2.5 (or higher). While I get no error on the install of 2.5 MDAC (or 2.6), apparently what...

    Windows version for VISTA

    If you know you are only running in XP / Vista, you can get additional information with winmgmts. (Some of this info is shown below.) strComputer = "." objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" ; + "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" + strComputer + "\root\cimv2") colOSes =...

    Windows Vista Ultimate\run DOS application

    Have you tried using the Compatibility mode on the shortcut? While I haven't tried it yet, I've read some good things about DOSBox - http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1. Rick

    LABEL Printing in FPD 2.6

    You also might get this error if the label file(s) have become corrupted. Try opening the .LBX file. First try it with USE mylabel.LBX Then try Modify Label mylabel.LBX Rick

    .FRX FIELDS

    Here's a routine I wrote a few years back (it could be rewritten using the VFP bit manipulation functions, but unless you're doing a lot of them, this is probably good enough). If you want the bit layout, I've included that at the end. (Feel free to beatify it - most of the layout spacing was...

    FPW2.6a and apps.exe on WinNT/Me

    The runtime files for FPW 2.6a are: FOXW2600.ESL FOXRUN.PIF (if you run any DOS commands in the application) FOXTOOLS.FLL (if you use any of these library functions) FPATH.FLL (if you use any of these library functions) RESERVED.FLL (if you use any of these library functions) and any custom .FLL...

    bitmaps on buttons - (no mask)

    BlackDice, Because VFP keeps as much stuff in memory as it can, it's always a good idea to CLEAR RESOURCES after making these kinds of changes. See the Help file topic for CLEAR for more detail. Rick

    How to Control Number of Users License

    savita, Another way to do this is to create an active user table with five records in it. Then when a user logs on, try to LOCK each record until you find one. Then when they exit the application release the lock - if they have connection problems or a system crash the file server will...

    Print Preview Fonts unreadable in Windows 2000

    I seem to remember that SP3 fixed this for NT/2000. I don't believe SP3 is still available, but the more stable SP5 is at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/updates/sp/vs6/sp5/dnldoverview.aspx. Rick

    Kate, Does the user running the app have restricted access to the network at night? Have you tried running it at night in the command window? Rick

    Win32 Executable won't run

    Steve, Is this form "Modal"? Does it run correctly from inside the VFP IDE? (i.e. DO myapp.exe )We've got VFP executables as large as 35 MB, so no 3 MB is not a real problem. Rick

    FPD2.6 & System time/date under hibernation

    I agree with Dave, because it's a DOS application, it expects that it's the only thing running. If the Windows environment switches it out it'll loose that time. In fact it's one of the reasons that under NT/2000/XP/2003 a DOS app shows it's using all the processor time. Rick

    Reindex hangs in large dos app

    Henry, You didn't say what the OS of the user's station is, or what the File Sever's OS is. Do they use any screensaver? (on either system) How busy is the network? What network protocol(s) are you using? Rick Rick

    Memory Problems

    The other problem is often related to the printer driver in use. Did they recently update or change their printer or driver? Rick

    FPD 2.6 - Tracking changes in a record

    While there are products for VFP like FoxAudit (http://www.takenote.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=28), you'd have to design your program to do your own auditing in FPD and FPW. Rick
