Well, I found the answer to my own question!
You can go to the Microsoft website and search for "VFPOLEDB.1". You will find a link to download the provider and an installation program that does the registration for you.

I'm trying to access VFP tables from a C# project, using a connection string that contains "Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;". It works on one machine, but on another machine the same code produces an error that "Provider is not registered on the local machine." How do I make sure that the provider is...
I am using C# to access Visual Fox Pro data. My connection string contains the clause "Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;" and a data source clause. The code works on one machine, but on another one I get the error message, "Provider is not registered on the local machine." How can I make sure that the...
I've been using subclassed controls with WinForms and sometimes, apparently randomly, after a Build, one of the controls on the form will be missing. It has happened with comboboxes, labels, and buttons. When I look at the code view, the control is still there, but it has been put to 0,0 with...
I'm making a check writer report and I need a function to convert numbers into verbal descriptions (e.g., 1210.25 into "One thousand two hundred ten and 25/100". Before I go to the trouble of writing one, I thought perhaps that someone had already done it. Does anyone have one?
Thanks, Dick...
Thanks for all of your posts. I apologize for being slow in attending your responses, I am distracted by another problem at the moment.
I will try to get back to this later today or tomorrow.

I have a VFP application that sent me email from my client's site when an error occurred, using Internet Explorer. Apparently, recent security patches have pulled the plug on this functionality, because it has quit working.
I rewrote the function, using FTP to send the message to our FTP site...
When working in the VFP IDE with a "SET ESCAPE ON" in effect, I am able to interrupt a long SELECT SQL statement, but it doesn't work when running the compiled EXE version.
Is there a way to interrupt the executeable?
Thanks, Rick, for the answer that I was looking for. I gave you a star for that one.
Now, does anyone know of a good reference for finding that kind of information? (outside of Tek-Tips - which is rapidly becoming my favorite reference for all questions...)
Mark, JRB, and Mike, thanks for...
I have tried to decipher the help file on the TRANSFORM function, but have failed to figure out how to do the simplest thing. I want to convert a number into a string with four digits using leading zeroes.
There are no examples on how to use the format codes (e.g., @L).
What is the format to...
I know that you can change the mouse pointer over certain objects by changing the MousePointer property of the object, but is there a way to change the general mouse pointer inside a program?
I believe that I have seen something like:
SET POINTER TO 11 && Change to an hourglass pointer
but...
Can anyone tell me (or refer me to a source for) what the maximums are for the PDF format?
Specifically,
1. How large can a PDF file be?
2. How many pages can be stored in a single PDF file?
Does that depend on page content?
My context is writing VFP reports into PDF files. I am storing...
Mike and Rick,
I tried moving the window off the page, which works as predicted, but the window still interferes even though you can't see it. The WAIT window is interrupted and the cancel button is still overruled. I also tried implementing an ON KEY LABEL to make F12 be the stop button, but...
Mike,
Thanks for the tip. I sent you a star, too. I knew that most things in VFP were in table format some way or other, but I didn't know how to browse it. That helped!
Fortunately, the printer that I used with Report Designer to create the report is a Postscript printer, so it went to the...
rschummer,
I'm not sure what you mean by the columns of the FRX. When I renamed my report's FRX to DBF and tried to browse it, I got an error that it couldn't find the memo file. There is a "Tag" property of the report, but it is empty. How would I view the columns that you mentioned?

Gerardo,
Thanks a million! I was leaving out the keyword NAME. That was my problem. I will give you a star for that one.
Interestingly, the PDF writer puts the output file in the default directory, and deposits a zero byte file in the destination named in the TO FILE clause. (assuming that...
Dan,
Thanks for jumping in. The code shown in my example is a snippit that is simplified. Actually, I am scanning a table and copying each record into the source table for the report, then running the report. The report prints entries on top of a tax form image. I need to wind up with...
