    OLEPublic Class Definition lost (COM EXE)

    I've also had VCXs behave slightly odd sometimes - eg a single class stop working. But I too have never got to the bottom of it - I just rely on having source code version control to make sure I don't lose too much.

    How to prevent grid's first cell from getting focus?

    Fascinating. I tried doing a grid with the first column disabled, and guess what - column2 got focus before the column I clicked on. Raise it as a bug with MS? I suppose that leaves the option of putting a "hasTheGridBeenSelected" flag on your form, so that the code that fills grid doesn't...

    Files Per Folder

    I suspect that an 'optimum' solution (whatever I mean by that) is several thousand files per folder because: It used to be the case on Dos/Fat that you'd get a noticeable slowdown after a couple of hundred files. In other words, even on FAT you're okay with 100 files per folder. NTFS wiped...

    Problems with what should be a simple query (Cursors and temp tables)

    Your code doesn't look kludgier that the normal standard of T-SQL to me ... Since the code you give doesn't actually create a stored procedure, (i.e. it's not of the form: Create Procedure procName( @newsletter int) As) could you assure us that (1) you have created an sp to run this code and...

    Updates are missed during stored procedure

    I don't know - but I suppose as an option you could change your update job to run every 4 minutes or every 6 minutes instead of 5 minutes, and then you can time it to not overlap with the merge replication (assuming each process takes less than 2 minutes to complete)

    inserting problem with trigger

    I would guess that the reason your trigger is inserting rows into the subtable is because you have the line insert into tbl_policies_sub_donna .... So you've told it to insert. Your mistake seems to be to declare your trigger for update and delete as well as insert. Why not declare it as...

    TRIGGER TO UPDATE TABLE FROM IT OWN VALUES

    Is there a reason for trying to to this with a trigger rather than a calculated column? It does seem to me that a calculated column is designed to to exactly what you want without the hassle of a trigger. What you really want is Drop Trigger trgConcat Alter Table temp_table Drop Column...

    Weird behavior in QA

    It's a Windows Explorer feature, not the QA. I had the same thing in several programs until I realised that the Explorer options were affecting open/save dialogs! Chris

    How to handle VFP6 remote view when SQL server is switched?

    If you know for a fact that the owner names are different then that is likely the cause of the problem and I don't think there is a way to write one view that works on both servers. Sql Server always names its tables as ownername.tablename. A typical VFP view, 'behind the scenes' is defined as...

    Common Anchor Settings?

    Yo ho, In proposing a container, I'm not proposing to make a class of it. I acknowledge that what I say represents a 'new' use of container. But: the desire for (and ability to properly do) flexible layout is also new. Hence a new solution (well, okay, a solution nicked from Java). I submit that...
