Creating reports grouped by 'customer'. Page numbers to reset as customer changes. Most reports average 3 pages per customer. On the FIRST report only consisting of 3 pages, everything is correct except the page numbers are 1, 1, 2. All other reports are correct. Have tried several variations...

Tried using OLE with Visual Foxpro for multiple host calls and transfers. Results are unreliable and inconsistent. Now attempting to have multiple .bat files to invoke calls and do some file management. In XP, each .bat operates to completion before next starts. In W98 they all try to start...

Developed OLE code for Visual FoxPro. Works 80% of the time. Multiple file transfers seem to step on each other SOMETIMES. Cannot determine what causes failures. I have tested calling same PC multiple times by looping through the code. In performing calls 15 times, I have never had 100%...

In another forum somone suggested using VB's While-Wend function to allow for completion of a process (OLE connect, and file transfers with PCanywhere). I don't know VB...... is there a VFP equivalent? Thanks.

Questions re XP Home. 1) I have distributed same software to multiple Dell systems with same version of XP. ONE system keeps having icons appear representing application data files being used. How can I stop this? 2) Same systems run a .bat file to start host processing for PCanywhere. In...

Thanks Dave S for the prompt response. Autoyield was set explicitly. I will try DOEVENTS. Do I need after each OLE action?

Attempting to run PCAnywhere with VFP OLE. I know it must be something simple, and some of you have already tried to help, but still nothing seems to work. Using the following test program, the first iteration of connect, xfer,xfer,run cmd,disconnect works ONLY when running using...

I know it must be something simple, and some of you have already tried to help, but still nothing seems to work. Using the following VFP code, the first iteration of connect, xfer,xfer,run cmd,disconnect works ONLY when running using debugger one instruction at a time. By waiting for completion...

DSummZZZ, Thanks for your response, but I don't have a form (guess I should) Here's code. mtest = "c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\symantec\pcanywhere\home.chf" olet = createobject("awrem32.application") =olet.awConnect(mtest) mret =...

I am using OLE for the first time. Host and remote systems are XP Home. Application creates object for Awrem32, and then does awconnect, multiple filexferto host, execute command on host and disconnect. All works well if I run using debugger one step at a time and 'watch' PCAnywhre run...

With XP Home, I have managed somehow to have only 1 account w/o Administrator rights. How can I add new account? Thanks for any assistance.

Hello, Have same situation described in thread 595 211261 (VFP applications requiring unattended dial up to multiple remote locations to transfer data) and have read response in 595 169229. I'm just not sure how to implement the solution. Do I need to purchase Visual Basic to create program to...

Complied with both suggestions.........still same. Thanks.

How can I make form/menu active upon startup? Have modal form as top level and menu as top level within exe. EVERYTHING works........except upon start form is not active and I have to 'click'. Pressing 'Enter' activates last used windows function (such as Windows Explorer). From start program I...

New user to VFP. In old versions of Foxpro it was possible to distribute runtime applications containing .prg files. To update the distributed systems, new or changed .prg's could be transmitted via communications and changes were in effect immediately with restart. Is this possible with VFP...
