    Copying new Fields 'WITH PRODUCTION'

    Hi All, I recently had a problem whereby I had two tables, both containing a field named 'f_name' joined by a single view. The problem was that the view seemed to not be able to resolve where the updates should go for each of the corresponding 'f_name' view fields (I used appropiate aliases in...

    Sending View Updates to base tables.

    Hi, I have a complicated view which I have been using to update its base tables. In the latest release of my software it has stopped updating the base one of the bases tables. To debug I simplified the view to just get two fields (the primary index & the field I'm trying to update) from a...

    Owner Drawn CListCtrl & GetSubItemRect()

    Hi, I have a 'owner draw fix' CListCtrl which does not return the values I expect when I call GetSubItemRect(). GetSubItemRect() always seems to return the values expected it the owning dialog's font size is 8pt. If I change the font to 16pt the cell heights are unaffected, resulting in any...

    Backups

    Scott, Thanks for that - I've tried it out in the command window and I'm confident I can get it to work that way. As a restore facility would you suggest using the COPY FILE command (with the database close)? Is this the safest way? It feels safer that emptying a table and then doing an...

    Double Clicking on a Read-Only Grid?

    Thanks Vlad, I've managed to get it working to a fashion. Your suggestion of turning the cursor OFF and ON seems to have no affect though. Also I am using the DynamicBackColor property, consequently the Selected Color needs to change according to the expression in the DynamicBackGround...

    Double Clicking on a Read-Only Grid?

    Hi, I have a grid which is populated and all cells are read-only. I would like to be able to double click on one of the rows and active a 'details' form for that row. Obviously, the cells of the grid being disabled results in the Click/Double Click events being inactive. Any ideas?? Many...

    Sending Emails

    Thanks for all your replies, I am actually running Outlook Express 5 on my development machine. My problem is that the target machine may be running Outlook or Outlook Express. Therefore I assume Ropje's solution is the most suitable. I have had some success with this solution after I swopped...

    Sending Emails

    I would like to send an email from within FoxPro. The VFP Help gives an example of invoking Excel using OLE and this works fine. Could anyone give me an example of sending an email using Outlook Express? When I run the command: oleApp = createobject("outlook.Application") I get...

    Updating the base tables of a Parameterized View

    Jon/Robert, I tried setting the cursor property to no avail. When Robert said he had had the same problem well I knew I was in trouble!! Thanks for you rapid responses though - both within an hour or so, that's service for you. I've got around the problem by only allowing edits within a set...

    View/Table One-To-Many Syntax Error.

    Dear All, I'm getting a less than helpful 'Syntax Error' when I'm issuing a 'SET RELATION' command. The situation is this: I've got a view which I'm using at the 'one' end of the relation and a table for the 'Many' end. The table is actually one of the base tables of the view. The...
