My company uses a FoxPro runtime application written specifically for us by an employee who is no longer with the company. We have purchased a new PC, and I have tried to get the application to run on it (from the server). After trying many things, I finally had a breakthrough and was able to launch the program. However, whenever I try to print, I get an I/O error with Cancel and Ignore choices.
A couple of things I have done: I reloaded FoxPro 2.6 and updated it and the runtime library .ESL file, and ran the patch for the "faster machine" problem. From that point, when I launched the program, I began getting immediate startup I/O errors. From this group, I learned of the .EXE patch file for fixing the I/O problem. I downloaded it and ran it on the .EXE file on the server, which got me to the point where I am able to run the application. Accessing the hardcopy printing feature, however, still gives the I/O error.
Although I've used FileMaker (is that a dirty word here? Sorry if it is), I'm far from a database programmer. We are looking into alternatives to this homemade application, but until we can migrate off, I still need to use it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
