There is resident anti-virus software installed on all the office computers equally. Could the existence of some anti-virus software trigger this error?

I created an install program for a VFP8.0 single threaded DLL using install shield. Now the Install tests fine. It even installs fine on my computer and 2 others we have in house. But on this one particular computer it begins the install and the progress bar gets about 80% thru when a window...

I would like to know if VFP is capable of creating a form or forms that visually look like one screen but in fact contains has 3 (or 4) each would be a pane. (Borrowing the term from Web Design.) I created a simple one using 2 forms with no borders, but it seems tricky. I would think VFP would...

I need a list box with check boxes in it. Does anyone know how to do this. A grid won't help really. I'm not scrolling a table I'm displaying logical status'. I already have the 2 column list The left side currently is description, the right side is Y or N. It would be much nicer if the right...

When running a VFP8.0 (visual) executable I often get this message. In the old days I used to get "Not Enough Memory" when executing some SQL commands. But, this is a powerful Dell computer which has 2.0 Gig of Ram , 80 Gig hard drive space, 3.06 GHz Processor. So I'm at a loss to understand...

What is oField.Type for Date Type when creating a table programatically from outside Access? Externally I've done a createobject("Access.Application") and I've made a table in a database. Evidently my date column is of type character - I have to make it a date. It was created as Character...

After successful createobject("Access.Application") ...plus a few more object initializations. I have statements like oField = oTable.CreateField("LNAME") oField.TYPE = 10 && Character Field oField = oTable.CreateField("DATE") oField.TYPE = ?? && Date Field I Don't know what that...

Craigsboyd asked "Is there use for this or are you just curious why it won't allow multiple commands? " The answer: I was just given an assignment that would employ the old fashion quik and dirty solution. Just allow someone to click an Icon; the program would upload data to an SQL database and...

I Just discovered something folks. Apparently you can't enter a set of commands. COMMAND=_SCREEN.fontsize=12 COMMAND=_SCREEN.fontbold=.t. COMMAND=_SCREEN.backcolor = 16773849 If you do this, the only one that will take effect is the last one. I was hoping one could set a group of screen...

I am using VFP8. also..Is it madatory that you put quotes in certain places or leave no spaces after or before equal signs? I have a lot of lines in my config.fpw file. Is there a special place this should be placed, like always before or after the SET sets? I'll have to try again at work. For...

The help says you can say this: COMMAND =_SCREEN.Caption="Visual FoxPro " + VERS(4) in the config file as an example of how to employ the COMMAND= statement. But, IT DONT WORK ! The TITLE = <expression> (without quotes around the expression)... Now that works. Are their other ways to set...

My assignment is to cerate a VFP8 executable that will "use" a file (which will get queried and reported on) that resides on the network drive \\indium\private\ etc. The normal procedure is to map a drive letter to it or simply issue a use \\indium\private\history.dbf. But, this always prompts...

My response to .. "are the VFP runtime libraries installed properly on the machines in question?" To that I would say I am using the Install Shield that came with VFP8. It tells you to include the C++ runtimes, VB libraries and the VFP8 runtimes and a couple of other things. I have built other...

Yes I can instantiate it in VFP. There is 1 machine where it works but that computer had 3 VFP (vers8) exe's installed on it. Perhaps other compontents got registered behind the scenes; thereby it succeeds there. I wanted to try it out on a computer that had Access but no VFP whatsoever. On...

I wrote DLL (Single Thread COM server) in VFP Ver 8. I used install shield to cut the CD. I brought in all the necessary compnents - I assume. In the past I have done this to quit considerable success in other areas, VB ASP Excel, Stand Alone VFP. The objective in this case is different. I have...
