Thanks, I didn't think about that. I'll try that and hopefully it will work, thanks.

I have a form I've created and need to be able to print a report from it based upon the current data. I've tried eveything and I'm stumped. The control I'd like to have the focus on for the report is a auto number field called WORK_ORDER. I'm having to use Access 95 for this. Perfect scenario...

Wonderful, both examples work great, why is this so hard to find in the book? I should have been able to figure this one out though, kinda feel silly now.

I have a query set up so it pops up a dialog box asking for criteria i.e. [Enter Job Number], however I sometimes need to be able to use a wildcard to retrieve and filter out data. I've tried this "Like [Enter Job Number]", but it returns no values. I'm using Access 95 v.7 for this at...

hyderzaman1 - help again... okay let's put this in kindergarten terms....when i put this in the little command window - i don't know what to do next. you gave me 2 lines to enter.. AccNo=inputbox("Enter Account No") - where does this go.... -JobNo-is the true name of the field i...

I am very new to FoxPro and have used Access for years. In Access you can put a parameter in a query field so the user will be prompted to provide for example - an account number, then the report - which is based on the query - will only print that one record. I am lost in FoxPro....and I'm...

Well, NTFS has nothing to do with why the program wasn't working on the XP system we initially trying this on, but all the programs are working fine for the people that need them, thanks again and I think whoever moderates this can close it out.

I think it might be as simple as NTFS on the XP machine. I re-compiled everything again and created a network setup with VFP6.0, then installed the program on an XP machine. It worked perfectly after I copied my patched ESL to the machine, the funny thing was that even the programs I didn't...

Great hint, the "Hello world!" ran as an app but not exe, so I re-applied the patch to a new install. The next thing I wanted to try was to build an EXE with EXTENDED to include everything in just the EXE and not worry about trying to track down the different links all these different...

It's weird and frustrating, the EXE will run on a 98SE machine, but not XP for some reason. I'm going to go line by line in all the code and see if anything pops out at me. After that I think I will go through the entire process again and see if I missed something, thanks.

I patched Foxprow.exe first and and the ESL files first, I then copied the ESL files into the program directory, opened the project, rebuild project, and then recompiled. In the root of C:\ there is a directory called Foxfiles with the ESL files in there as well, which were replaced with the...

I actually got the IPatchFP to work, I no longer get devide by zero problems. However, now FoxPro 2.5b runs fine (it wouldn't run under XP before), and I can open a project and run it as an APP within FoxPro, but when I try and run just the EXE of the program I recompiled it opens the program...

I just applied the IPatchFP patch to some older FoxPro 2.5b for Windows programs in order to get past the divide by zero error on XP Pro. I also patched the actual FoxPro software itself. FoxPro runs under XP now and if I open the project file for a program and run it as an app it works fine...

Researching this further it seems like my problem is a known issue with running FoxPro 2.5 Apps. Seems like there is a patch from MS the fixes the divide by zero error on fast computers, so maybe it's not an XP issue but the processor speed. The only problem is that it is specifically for FoxPro...

Can you give me a brief explanation as why? I have to justify trying to hire a programmer is the only reason I ask, thanks for your quick reply.
