To the contrary, using the project manager makes things a lot easier and quicker - regardless of the situation. The various components being located in different folders is not an issue - in fact I use folders to organize components as well. When you create a project you need to add every...

Building on what Dan has said: When you have your project opened (assuming you are using the project manager - which like Dan said... YOU SHOULD), on the menu click PROJECT-->OPTIONS The screen that appears is where you can enter the information you are talking about. This info will then be...

Ah...... nevermind - the FoxStart.prg is the autoexec, I just has to rename foxstart.app to foxstart.app.tmp

Thanks Tomas for that solution. Is there a way to have it executed whenever I start FP without having to put it in all my programs. Is there an "autoexec" type file one can place in the FP directory which can contain this line? Or a way to put something into the CONFIG.FPW file to trigger it?

According the the help file in the Mac version, one has a keyboard shortcut to exit and save by pressing what ever that special mac key is called with W, or to just save by pressing that "mac key" with S. However in the Win version pressing CTRL+W exits and saves, but CTRL+S doesn't!!! Having a...

That's a good idea if I was searching for single characters. But I am searching for a string - so splitting the search up would not work as if the string I'm looking for is at the "seam" it wouldn't be counted. I wonder why this function kicks out a "too long" error when the AT() didn't, but...

Thank you so much for the info. Even though I have been programming in Fox for almost 18 year I never knew that function existed! I ran the function but I got an "string to long to fit" error.

I'm using 2.6 for Windows.

I am using the AT() function to search for the number to times a sequence of characters appears in a text stored in a memo field. After the count reaches 140779 give produces a "file read error" error message. If there is only 140778 then the AT() should just return a 0 instead of giving me an...

We can use the _GENMENU variable to use a custom menu generator, such as GENMENUX. We can use the _GENSCR variable to use a custom menu generator, such as GENSCRX. Is there a way to set (and make) a custom project generator? So that when we click "Build" it would use the custom generator...

In order to play things safe, I retract my request for the ADDICON.APP source code. But if anyone knows how to pass variables please let me know. Dave, Can you explain the macro idea you suggested? How can I place that into my code?

Wow, I never thought modifying a program I currenlty have a lincence for would be illegal. How is what I propose any different than the hacks that FP programers have made to fix FP bugs? For example the hack in which a person embeds thier own ICO into the ESL file. Why would me hacking the...

As we all know, making a viable working EXE in FPW2.6 is a cumbersome task. I am trying to automate/streamline the process some. In order to do so I need to be able to either pass the EXE name and ICO name as variables to the ADDICON.APP, or I need to be able to decompile and modify it so that...

Hello, In an old thread, thread182-132088, rgbean provided a link to a patched version of genscrnx. But sadly that link is dead. So rgbean, can you provide an updated link to the file? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the confirmation and alternative method! I don't think it would be a NTFS issue, as all my drives except for my OS drive is FAT32, plus this function works with CD-ROM drives as well. Thanks again!
