Oops. The Dlink ethernet ended up with the same lag problem once my DOS program mapped the network drive. The problem is evidently a mapped network drive issue. Now the question is why the MCP6P mb has a problem which my MSUA and M7VIG mbs don't.

I don't think it's a memlimit setting. It appears to be related to the NVIDIA nForce 10/100 ethernet on the motherboard. I removed the driver, Client for MS Networks, File and Printer sharing, and Qos Packet. I disabled the onboard LAN. I shut down and installed an old DLink ethernet card...

I went ahead and created my own function. It requires a little more programming whenever I want to browse, but it does remedy the crashing. FUNC OIS * ------- O)ccurrences I)n S)tring --- Returns number * OIS_C - Character looked for * OIS_S - String to look in PARA OIS_C,OIS_S...

Our office is running a program written in DOS foxpro. All our Windows 98 computers, with SPOOL MS-DOS PRINT JOBS deactivated, print immediately in response to an employee hitting the print button. We recently added a few Windows XP Pro computers to our network and the lag between print...

I've added some XP Professional computers to my 98SE LAN. My office management program runs in DOS FP. I've always used = NUML(.T.) and = CAPS(.T.) to insure that the keyboard is formatted for my users. The XP computers just ignore the code. What's up with that? How do I get the XP...

O boy! Just another inconvenience of converting to VFP. The graphing program I've used for years was a free download from a user's group. Now I'll need to start looking for VFP library resources for graphing. Any suggestions?

I have a graphing program that accesses three DGE library files that have .plb as their extension. The program doesn't run under VFP because it looks for an .fll library file. Can I convert the plbs to flls? The library files aren't something I created in the first place, so I don't even know...

Underscore doesn't center well between lines. Hyphen gives me broken, unprofessional line. I really miss the ASCII characters. :(

I'm not using report forms, just sending raw data: SET PRINT TO SET PRIN ON ? <info> SET PRIN OFF I want to be able to go back and send additional raw data to the same page.

The items printed are simple enough that I've not used the report designer or @ commands, but just ? with the printer on. Sometimes a user will dump just a few lines of info to a page, do some other work, then dump a few additional lines on the paper that is still in the printer. I'd like to...

My DOS Foxpro programs made heavy use of ASCII characters to create vertical and horizontal lines, corners, and intersecting lines while printing. This allowed for the creation, on the fly, of printouts with attractive boxes. Now I'm having trouble in VFP even getting a nice solid line between...

Most of my printing needs are consistant with the automatic eject which occurs when the SET PRINT command is issued. But one of my printing needs is for a series of 2 or 3 lines at a time without an eject. I need to be able to SET PRIN TO, SET PRIN ON, SET PRIN OFF, then return later to the...

I've been using a peer-to-peer LAN with about 20 Win98 computers for years. One of the computers has data that is accessed by all the other computers. When I changed this computer to WinXP it no longer provided all computers access. How do I get past the limit (10?) that seems to be a part of XP?

My DOS Foxpro program is normally run on computers with WIN98SE. The program files are in a different directory than the data files. When the program initiates, the data directory is set as the default directory and additional program files are found in the path set via a batch file run with...
