I've decompiled many Clipper apps with Valkyrie. Did one today and got "Locked File-Decompilation not allowed". Anyone know what causes this or any way around ir? I migrate Clipper apps to Windows and clients send me many apps to decompile. Never seen this error before. Bob Morris...

>SET DEFAULT TO JUSTPATH(SYS(16)) Great tip, thanks! Bob Morris www.bomoco.com

Problem solved. I changed the "Start In:" spec in the shortcut to the correct folder and the app works fine from a network! Well duh... Bob Morris www.bomoco.com

I usually do VFP apps in Visual FoxExpress, and I guess it take care of the following problem, which I'm sure has a simple solution, but it escapes me know. My VFP app runs fine on the test system. When I network the app, i.e. make the test folder shareable on the net, and run the EXE from...

I'm baffled. I'm converting an old Fox app to 8.0. It has a menu defined in the code. When I do a REPORT FORM PREVIEW or DO FORM <name> the user defined menu disppears, and the System menu appears. This was working, I have no idea what changed. On the REPORT FORM, the menu changes upon...

A client has Server 2003. The printers have an IP address. The problem is - the Server can not ping or find one of the printers. Issues: 1) The server can't ping anything (has Internet access is off, is this related?) 2) a workstation can ping the printer and the server, yet the server can...

Thanks to all for replies > My understanding of your post is that your reports are .prgs and you need them to stay like that. Yes, I do, at least for now, There are way too many report PRGs to convert them to report forms. Adding FONT &quot;Courier&quot;, 9 to the end of each @ say would work...

I'm working on converting two ancient Fox DOS systems to VFP. Both have reports done in code, not in report form. I need a way to force these reports to print with fixed space fonts. In Fox DOS, these reports print with the DOS fixed spaced fonts. However in Windows they print with variable...

I want to call Microsoft Word while in a Visual FoxPro application, and do a mailmerge using a Word document and Visual FoxPro data. How do I do this? Bob Morris www.bomoco.com

A client has an ancient system written in DBase IV with over 3,000 report forms. I'm converting it to Visual Foxpro. Anyone know of utilities that will convert these report forms in batch mode to VFP reports? Bob Morris www.bomoco.com

Anyone know how to import a FoxPro table with memo fields into an Access table with memo fields? A direct import doesn't seem to work, as Access doesn't recognize the FoxPro memo fields. Do I need to write a macro? Bob Morris www.bomoco.com

>This problem happens when you include a file with the wrong extension by mistake in the project. That was it. Thanks! One of the PRGs called a REPORT FORM that wasn't there. Bob Morris www.bomoco.com

This is weird. When building an app or exe using project manager I get &quot;Not a Table&quot; and the build stops. The Help for the error says &quot;Not a table (Error 15) The file that Visual FoxPro is attempting to use as a table contains an improper header.&quot; I've created a new...

An elderly client needs to migrate his ancient FoxDOS app to VFP. He wants everything to look and act exactly as in the FoxDOS app. No new anything! The screens are done with @ SAY's, not with Forms. I'd like to default all the @ SAYs, etc. to FIXEDSYS font so everything lines up nicely, as in...
