Yes it is an internal pci modem, and I have looked at the two sites earlier from previous threads on the subject. I have attempted to rule out causes by installing the same modem and modem drivers and procomm software on older Gateway profile 6 system with all the same settings,com port...

knob Thanks fer the reply Yes I did just copy the files from old machine because the install disk is 2.01 and I could not find the upgrade to 2.03. The transfer is zmodem protocol and it is slow from start to end with no errors and completes successfully. Charlie Huff CJ's Homecenter

I have been sending and recieving files with pcplus 2.03 for years. For the past 6yrs on winxp pro machines. The modem is a us robotics pci on com2. Recently purchased a Lenovo with winxp pro and installed the same modem and procomm software. Recieve files just fine at about 8,000 cps but...

Mike I'm up late so forgive me. I am a retailer who has built my own software for 30+ years. No one has ever catered to the needs of the retailer. There is the possibilty of creating a standard for the information that a retailer needs to do business on a daily basis. That information needs to...

Any one done any work on creating a catalog app for Retailers using an international standard? I have done this on a local basis and it is indespensible for me. This could be the killer app to push foxpro into the next generation. Imagine foxpro as the required software for participating in...

Hi Steve This is how I round our prices IIF(MOD(Lcprice,.05)#0,Lcprice-MOD(Lcprice,.05)+.05,Lcprice) Charlie Huff CJ's Homecenter

If you trap the input keystrokes or maybe use the interactive change method you can simply add the space back after trimming like this GcMSTK = UPPER(ALLTRIM(THIS.VALUE)) IF LASTKEY()=32 .AND. LEN(GcMSTK)>0 GcMSTK=GcMSTK+' ' ENDIF This will produce the desired results...

I have a VFP9 app running on WinXP That utilizes MSCOMM32 to drive the customer display for a POS cash register. The display is connected to COM1 and works as expected except at random intervals will cause a "program not responding" hourglass to appear. After 15-60 seconds the program resumes...

Craig Sorry I was to focused on the file handling and didn't give a more complete picture of the enviorment. This is a retailer's catalog system with two main forms. One is the detail view with a single sku,image,desc, etc. The second is a page view with 12 sku's and only basic info. The...

Thanks Olaf,Mike Sounds like my current structure which was set up for ease of reviewing the images for updates is as good as any.The path is short and straight forward and 100 images in a folder not bad for the user to view and replace. Just hadn't ever worked with that many images before...

Has anyone done tests to establish what the optimum number of image files per winxp folder might be. I have a catalog system with about 50,000 .jpg images running on vfp9 winxp pro. Right now I have it set up with a 6 digit numbering system like 523640.jpg so the images are stored in...

Dave, That's what I tried, but unfortunately it simply printed the control codes as characters. Thanks anyway Charlie Huff CJ's Homecenter

Mike, Thanks Yes I have successfully run the old code using ???, but have only been working with VFP for a short time and thought I might be missing something in label/report designer that would allow passing control codes thru a field or ole control. Really like the new report/label...

For years I have been generating my own bar codes (UPC and Code 39) by using HP PCL Raster conrol codes sent directly to the Printer. Is there anyway to pass this through a VFP9 label or form control? I know there are fonts that would make it easier, but I like the control provided when I can...

I am attempting to build a catalog lookup in vfp6. The general approach is to display 12 items (pictures .jpg and basic info on the first form with extended info on second form. The product file has 8 indexes and I want the 12 items on a page to reflect the index of the initial lookup. What is...
