    Windows Update just doesn't work

    Nope, no Contact Microsoft anything. I found the problem though. SensLogn was disabled. Starting it up again solved the issue. As I said earlier, the screen I get had NOTHING at all about why, what, who or how the update could not be installed. I hate those "error" messages that just say...

    Windows Update just doesn't work

    On one of my 8 machines, I have lost the ability to update. I can scan OK, the updates download then I immediately go to the "unable to be successfully updated" screen. There is no error. The WindowsUpdate.log is empty. I know I'm missing something but can't figure out what. I've deleted the...

    How to post to Usenet from VFP

    Yep, I can see where it could be used for that. All I want is to post 5 or so jokes/day to alt.jokes. I'm not trying to sell anything.

    How to post to Usenet from VFP

    I have a VFP9 dbf of jokes. I'd like a routine that I could add to my VFP scheduler and post 5 or 6 jokes to alt.jokes every night. That would be NNTP port 119, I think. Thanks

    Create a jpg img from text

    You're right. I've tried every possible format. They're all the same. Opens fine with Firefox but not the Palm. Interestingly, I can open the file with Lview, save it and it shows up great on the Palm. At any rate, I'm getting it with GDI+. When I get that working, I'll post it. Really pretty...

    STRTOFILE() but variable is >255 characters

    The way I do it all the time is to break it up thus: hdr='"FIRST","LAST","OR CURRENT RESIDENT","STREET","CITY",' hdr=hdr+'"ST","ZIP4","JOBNUM","PART","OPT. ENDORSEMENT LINE"' hdr=hdr+',"POSTNET BARC","SEQUENTI","SCH",' hdr=hdr+'"STUDENTID","VAR1","VAR2","VAR3",'...

    Create a jpg img from text

    Thanks JBR. That worked pretty well. However I'm faced with another problem now. The print driver I found (Zan) produced fine bmp and jpg files. However, my Palm only got a red X when viewing them although Firefox worked fine.. I communicated with the author and he didn't have a clue what could...

    Create a jpg img from text

    Thanks folks. Both good ideas. However, we're talking 12 servers here, running Foxweb with 10 channels each. I really don't want to get into changing printer drivers or having another step. Every second is a potential backup. I've been messing with ffc/_gdiplus.vcx. It looks like it might work...

    Create a jpg img from text

    OK, here's what I'm doing. I have some programs that create stock charts using monospaced text: x xo xox xox o Works fine on the website where I can specify the font. We have to have it like this because of all the add-ins and overlays we use. Now, I'm trying to use this on a palm/cell...

    Selectively clearing memory variables

    That'll work but that's what I'm trying to avoid. With 500 hits/minute, I try to limit file activity. If I'm dumping memory to a file then reading it into an array, that overhead really adds up. I'm not sure if there's a good way to do it. I don't really want to open a new database for this...

    Selectively clearing memory variables

    I have 12 servers running Foxweb (5 channels each). My error handler dumps memory to the log. Trouble is, many of my public memvars spill over from channel to channel. I'd like to memorize the memvars when we enter a program (the Foxweb defaults) then clear them at the end of the program. I...

    Setting speaker volume

    I'm looking for a quick and easy way to set my system volume. I have voice notifs (it's raining, it's getting colder outside etc) and if my speaker's too low I don't notice them. If I turn it up it's annoying. I want to turn sound up to 70% before the announcement then down to 40% after. Since...
