Thanks Craig, I saw that an hour after posting the message. Grids are still very new to me. You think they could have come up with a better name than SPARSE...... Don Higgins Crew Chief Pro Racing Analysis Software www.crewchiefpro.com

How do I display the correct format of 999-99-9999 in a social security number for the whole column? I have input mask set properly and it will show properly when that row is clicked, but the other rows show just numbers - no dashes. right now it shows this: 358-99-9870 (correct if I click in...

Sorry, it is the Month View. It has the drop down list for month, etc. That is correct, the letters are so small that they cannot be read. Why does the control change the font size by itself? Mike, thanks that worked fine on my machine, I will test it on others also. Don Don Higgins Crew...

I am distributing a calender control with may exe file and to my horror the fonts are all screwed up. The font size on my machine is 9.75 arial, and it works fine. I take the file move it to another machine without foxpro on it and the font size is 1.5?? This is VFP 7.0. So I tried this in...

As jimstarr said, It is a bunch easier to update the reports if they are not in the project. This way you don't have to have 2 apps to update and the update files are much smaller. I build apps with a database of reports available, then I send the updated dbf and frt and frx files to the user...

>>I assume that you are talking about the text in the book and not the sample code. Hopefully, something this obvious would not have gottem by Andy, John and me << There is one thing we can be sure of... You simply don't make mistakes in your code. The book has some minor issues but they are...

The book had a WITH THIS but no ENDWITH which I corrected but the problem was not placing the custom text box on the form first. Thanks to all who answered. Don Higgins Crew Chief Pro Racing Analysis Software www.crewchiefpro.com

I know this is basic, however, I am missing something simple. I am trying to teach my brother how to highlight a grid and I was using 1001 Things book, chapter 6 page 163. Seems I cannot get the error messages to stop. What am I missing? I just want to highlight the grid row. I have not...

Anybody use vfpskins? I am having problems with it and tech support is very slow. I have forms that worked great with the demo version, now I bought the full version and it is giving me errors out the wazzu. These errors are in the init and include "Must specify additional parameters" but the...

I did, and everyone is entitled to my opinion. :) lol Great product, all the help you could ever need is either in a focus group in your area or here on this and other forums. Rapid development, great data handling, and fairly easy to work with. Don Higgins Crew Chief Pro Racing Analysis...

Open your project in project manager. Click on PROJECT in the upper menus, then choose PROJECT INFO. Add your icon there (make sure it is the proper size). Rebuild the app and you should be good to go. Don Higgins Crew Chief Pro Racing Analysis Software www.crewchiefpro.com

Speed of the program?? Foxpro is very, very fast for virtually any data operation. Yes it supports all of these but I doubt that is going to fix any speed issue. When is it "slow"? Most of the time a complaint of slow processing is caused by recursive refresh calls, unoptimized selects...

What is your application? I write racing software and whenever RACE appears in a post my light bulb is switched on. Don Higgins Crew Chief Pro Racing Analysis Software www.crewchiefpro.com

That is a genaralized question that can have many responeses. Try to see for yourself by opening the database and browsing it, or you can check it with the function reccount() to see if records exist. from the command prompt type in use (yourdatabasename) browse this will allow you to see for...

It does not find that library, either you did not include the file in your distribution files, or did not build it in. Do a file search on this file and see if you can find it. Don Higgins Crew Chief Pro Racing Analysis Software www.crewchiefpro.com
