    Win 2000 vs. XP

    Win 2000 vs. XP

    I am using the same SQL Database as the dev. environment. The perplexing thing is that it is the SIMPLEST select statement in my entire application. The statement is literally SELECT * FROM recpt_messages. It works fine on XP, but will not work on the Win 2000 machine. Also #1, the...

    I created an APP on my XP Pro dev. machine using VFP 8.0. I have had some problem though running it on Win2000. 1) The first time I fired the app up on Win2000, I got a data mismatch error and I finally traced it down to XP saw the field as a CHARACTER Win 2000 as a NUMERIC. 2) A simple...

    Form Focus

    I have a top level Login Form that displays when the app is first started. The main VFP window's visible property is set to .F. My problem is that when I start the app the Login screen does not have focus.

    Passwords are not for Security - Official

    Do you really have nothing better to do than pick quotes from MS regarding security in Word docs. Thank you Steve for saying what needed to be said.

    Edit Box Cursor Position

    I have an edit box that loads data from a table when the form loads. I would like for the user to be able to start typing from the end of the data that is loaded; however, when I load the cursor is position at the beginning of everthing in the editbox. How do I position the cursor to the end...

    Form Close

    When the user presses the close button in the control box, is there anyway to have it ask if the user actually wants to close or just minimize the screen? Hope this makes sense. Thanks

    Main VFP Window

    Can you hide the main VFP Window? I would like for an application to run in the background and be able to access it via a system tray icon. Thanks

    Time Calculation

    If it is stored as military time (ie. 0330) in a character field, couldn't you take the VAL(LEFT(time,2)) and substract 4. If the value is less than 0, then it would be the previous day and you would need to adjust for it, maybe by adding 24 (eg. -3 + 24 = 21 which is 9PM the previous day)...

    Printing and COM objects

    Ramani, I don't quite understand? I am using VFP 8 so I don't understand where VFP7 is coming into play? I used VFP 8 to create the dll and I have tried to call the dll both from VFP 8 and from .NET and both return the same error.

    Printing and COM objects

    Can you print from a COM object? I am using VFP 8 and I have created a dll but everytime I call the function which includes the code "REPORT FORM test.frx NOCONSOLE TO PRINTER NODIALOG" the code bombs. If I comment out this line it works. Any thoughts? Thx

    Product Activation Unacceptable

    The only problem I had with Activation is that there were a couple of trial software packages I wanted to use. XP Office Pro and Studio.NET and I had just moved and didn't have internet access at that time. It was frustrating for a couple of days, but once I got connected again it was fine...

    Grid + EditBox

    I feel like such a putz for not referencing the pageframe. It worked. Thanks a bunch for your help. One more question though, Why won't it fire from the click event of the grid?
