Well, I found the answer to my own question! You can go to the Microsoft website and search for "VFPOLEDB.1". You will find a link to download the provider and an installation program that does the registration for you.

I'm trying to access VFP tables from a C# project, using a connection string that contains "Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;". It works on one machine, but on another machine the same code produces an error that "Provider is not registered on the local machine." How do I make sure that the provider is...

I am using C# to access Visual Fox Pro data. My connection string contains the clause "Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;" and a data source clause. The code works on one machine, but on another one I get the error message, "Provider is not registered on the local machine." How can I make sure that the...

I've been using subclassed controls with WinForms and sometimes, apparently randomly, after a Build, one of the controls on the form will be missing. It has happened with comboboxes, labels, and buttons. When I look at the code view, the control is still there, but it has been put to 0,0 with...

Thanks a lot! That is exactly what I needed. Regards, Dick

I'm making a check writer report and I need a function to convert numbers into verbal descriptions (e.g., 1210.25 into "One thousand two hundred ten and 25/100". Before I go to the trouble of writing one, I thought perhaps that someone had already done it. Does anyone have one? Thanks, Dick...

Thanks for all of your posts. I apologize for being slow in attending your responses, I am distracted by another problem at the moment. I will try to get back to this later today or tomorrow. Regards, Dick

I have a VFP application that sent me email from my client's site when an error occurred, using Internet Explorer. Apparently, recent security patches have pulled the plug on this functionality, because it has quit working. I rewrote the function, using FTP to send the message to our FTP site...

When working in the VFP IDE with a "SET ESCAPE ON" in effect, I am able to interrupt a long SELECT SQL statement, but it doesn't work when running the compiled EXE version. Is there a way to interrupt the executeable?

Thanks, Rick, for the answer that I was looking for. I gave you a star for that one. Now, does anyone know of a good reference for finding that kind of information? (outside of Tek-Tips - which is rapidly becoming my favorite reference for all questions...) Mark, JRB, and Mike, thanks for...

I have tried to decipher the help file on the TRANSFORM function, but have failed to figure out how to do the simplest thing. I want to convert a number into a string with four digits using leading zeroes. There are no examples on how to use the format codes (e.g., @L). What is the format to...

Thanks, Mike! --Dick

I know that you can change the mouse pointer over certain objects by changing the MousePointer property of the object, but is there a way to change the general mouse pointer inside a program? I believe that I have seen something like: SET POINTER TO 11 && Change to an hourglass pointer but...

Can anyone tell me (or refer me to a source for) what the maximums are for the PDF format? Specifically, 1. How large can a PDF file be? 2. How many pages can be stored in a single PDF file? Does that depend on page content? My context is writing VFP reports into PDF files. I am storing...
