thanks, I did need both (..). was trying to understand what was going on before I blew up my program. Thanks

.AddObject('lblID'+ALLTRIM(STR(thisform.branchcount)),'label') theCmd = ".lblID" + ALLTRIM(STR(thisform.branchcount)) &theCmd.caption = curbranch.Branch_Num &theCmd.width = 100 &theCmd.top = 60 + ((thisform.branchcount - 1) * 40) &theCmd.left = 10 this is my code embedded in a loop to try and...

well, I was actually setting the recordsource to a cursor, the problem is that when you do that. the grid automatically sets itself to read only and the user cannot select the things in the way I want them to. Say for instance that I want col 1 to hold 'Cat', 'Carrot', & 'Calcium' and then col...

I may be trying to use the wrong control here and if so please let me know. What I am trying to do is this. I need to manually populate a grid with values for the user to make some choices. I dont have the data in a recordset or anything, but I like the format of the grid for this purpose...

thanks. the sparce property did correct the problem I was having with the combo boc not showing. However, I am still unable to select anything from the combobax because it grid control it still read only. I am now selecting the SQL into a cursor and useing that as my datasource for the grid...

I have a grid control with three columne that I am populating from an sql statement. I have the RecordSourceType set to 4 = SQL and this automatically sets the grid to read only. The problem I have is that I am populating columns 1 & 2 from that source and a combo box in the third column from...

will try all that, thanks

I have jumped into a project midstream and am having some issues trying to modify this project that I don't think should be problems at all. On this one form I have an input box (class Fhtextbox) DOB that is date formatted with the '/'s pre-entered into the box so that the user only has to...

thanks olaf. I think My version of foxpro hasn't got the help stuff so I am trying my best using an old copy of the MSDN. I rarely stay with the hardcoded things after Iget the thing working but I have found them easier examples to post in a forum like this since they are generally easy to...

thanks, I had just found the mkdir command myself and got that to working. I will go check around more to see what there is to see. I will be checking back here to though so if anyone happens to know, I would still appreciate any more help on this. thanks bcoats

I have done that too. And it looks to be ok. The thing I do know is this, When I go manually make a file outside of adobe, say a text file, then rename it so adobe will open it I get the same adobe error as I get when I run this code. So it looks like I need a way to create a blank adobe file...

This is where I am now. The fcreate() command returning -1. file cannot be created. All I am trying to do is create and empty file that adobe can open with the ShellExecute() command. Here is the code I ahve now. Any thoughts would be appreciated. myPath = "c:" + curdir() +"Data\Charts\" +...

OK, I have gotten this far. When I run the following the file seems to be created and closed. The file name is something like 9999.pdf. Then The Adobe program begins to start up and read this file but it sayd something about file access error and when I got to see if the file is there, it...

Well, that would be ok except I need to create the file as well as open an existing one. Is there a way to get the path of the programs working directory? That would be great because I am trying to keep the user from having to designate the target directory. thanks b

What I am trying to accomplish is to open an adobe file for the selected client so that the user can scan in information or whatever they want to do with this adobe file. What I have is this from poking around on this forum. myPath = "\Data\charts\" + str(chart.key) + ".pdf" myResult =...
