genscrn and genmenu for foxpro25

[daydreamin]

i am trying to correct a y2k problem for a client.  I did not write the software, and am not a foxpro programmer.  I have the source code, and have made what i believe to be the appropriate changes, however when doing a build, i get a "can't find screen / menu generation program".  Since the menu's and screens indicate that they were generated with genmenu and genscrn, i assume that these were the programs used, however i cannot find them on the computer.  foxpro2.5 is there however.  Am i missing something or do we need to get these programs

Just A Wild Guess but it soulds like the computer you are running the build on does not have all the FoxPro files loaded.&nbsp;&nbsp;Try reinstalling FoxPro with the complete option instead of the typical option. <p>David W.

The customer had the foxpro program installed by the consultant who is no longer in business or even available.&nbsp;&nbsp;The customer doesn't appear to have the install disks,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Is there any options available?

Find a developers copy of FoxPro 2.5 or a person with a copy to build it for you.<br>What State are you in? <p>David W. Grewe<br><a href=mailtoave@internationalbid.net>Dave@internationalbid.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

the state of confusion!! Actually Northern Calif.&nbsp;&nbsp;Is there a retail version of foxpro 2.5 developers available?&nbsp;&nbsp;We are so rural it's a joke.

I just asked what State in case one of the other perople reading this thread might be close enough to help you.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you find a copy of 2.6 you can use it instead of 2.5.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>Anyway, MicroSoft does not sell Ver2.5 but that does sell Ver2.6.<br>If (&quot;You have a licensed copy of VFP&quot=.t.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;MS will sell you a copy of 2.6 for the cost of a one license upgrade.<br>endif. <p>David W.

If you have the source code you could modify the .mpr files and .spr files directly (not recommended) but if you are trying to build the application into a .app or .exe&nbsp;&nbsp;that won't help you.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you have the development version of Foxprow you might be able to run the application on it without a complete build -- In any event, you would need to be fairly knowledgeable in native foxpro language etc.<br><br>David's suggestion would be first choice --<br><br>CDavis.

Great stuff guys, but i need to find somebody or someplace that has a copy of foxpro 2.6 for sale.&nbsp;&nbsp;Cannot seem to find it.&nbsp;&nbsp;Any help greatly appreciated.

 

[JDurbin]

There is a place but they are a rip off in terms of price. I'll try to find it and post it.&nbsp;&nbsp;Would you rather buy a copy or contract out this job or both? <p>John Durbin<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>ICQ VFP ActiveList #73897253

 

[daydreamin]

I would rather buy a copy and let the customer have it.&nbsp;&nbsp;This will allow them to continue finding help without worry as to where it comes from.

Hey, can i just convert this to Visual Foxpro by running make file thru visual FoxPro?<br>Are there any gotya's in doing that?&nbsp;&nbsp;I know i can get visual foxpro

 

[dgrewe]

I run 2.6 code though VFP all the time. You will have to open every database exclusive and attach a code page.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you have complex repoorts and screens that the VFP converter can not handle you might have to spend time recoding but for simple applications no change required.&nbsp;&nbsp; <p>David W.
