mkrausnick (Programmer): The other files you need to copy to the other machine are: VFP5.DLL and VFP5ENU.DLL. Actually, Mike, Wizard should pick 'em up on its own. Dullard as this Wizard is (yes, pun intended [wink] ) it's never failed to include VFP runtimes into setup kit. Regards, Ilya

FoxSU, you need to make installation setup kit. In Windows OS, applications use so-called run-time support libraries, and that's exactly what's missing on your other machine. When you run installation setup, these libraries are being installed and registered by OS, so when your program calls...

Colleagues: 1. I know (from MS documentation), that in DOS there was the limit on the number of files in the root dir of the system disk (256, if I'm not mistaken). 2. I know by experience that there was limit on the number of files in any folder in Win98SE and earlier (20,000 + something)...

Very interesting thread, colleagues! I tend to agree with Mike Lewis: "- Lack of comments. I'm always amazed how many experienced programmers haven't twigged to the idea of commenting their code. - Over-reliance on public variables (especially creating public variables on the fly at...

Colleagues, here's the trap I (ungracefully) have fallen into: LASTKEY() function, when called in the CommandButton.Click event procedure returns ASCII code 27 (Esc) if the button's Cancel property set to True! In my case it was User Name and Password entry screen, with two labels, two text...

DSummZZZ (Programmer): I have never heard of a table opened exclusivly being slower than one opened shared. It's usually exponentially faster to do any processing on a table used exclusive. In general - I agree with you, Dave. Although, there are such factors like processing on local-to-local...

Not exactly sure what you mean, mcalis, but I'd suggest you checking if your grid's datasource table has some index set on. HTH. Regards, Ilya

Back to our muttons, colleagues: I do not remember whether one of you told me so, or I read it in one of the articles on the subject, but there was a tip somewhere that with exclusive use file is locked right away (no Opp. Locks implemented). I guessed that, then, the writing should go onto...

CoreMemory (IS/IT--Manageme) Just out of curiosity, have you tried using INSERT with an explicit list of destination fields and a VALUES clause for the source fields. Would have worked... if I knew those values. In fact, I never do. For that matter, I don't even know the structure of the table...

TeknoSDS (Programmer): set sysmenu to rgbean (Programmer): I believe you want a Top-level Form. In case she don't: SET SYSMENU OFF (not TO, Ali). Regards, Ilya

badukist (Programmer): From a thread on UT I've read that disabling both read and write cache (disk/network) and oportunistic locking has solved corruption issues but the performance was going down by 40%. Yes, I read that also. But I'm afraid I cannot enforce this change of environment...

ramani (Programmer): I would suggest a TRANSACTION wrap around the update. Sorry, bro, can't use TRANSACTION, VFP 7's Help prohibits it for free tables. Can't make it into DBC either: with 500+ accounts, we would have to make 500+ custom DBCs, which means MAINTENANCE (that's REALLY DREADFUL...

Would be my pleasure, Haze! Here's how it goes: You have to merge records from a table with new data (CURRENT) to the existing table (MERGE), all the while keeping an eye on the MERGE table's files' size (in my case it's FPT, but may be DBF and/or CDX as well). After making sure that that a)...

Everybody: Chickens have hatched! Operations manager just reported to me that the data merge operation last night was successfull, no glitches from my program's part. So, that was lagging CDX update all along. True Man, Sir, you're getting the Star of Honor from me for your tip! [thumbsup2]...

wtrueman (Programmer): I seem to recall that the problem only occurred on W2K clients The case at hands is WinNT2003 Server. New data is on CD or on disk C:, target dir is on RAID disk, both in the same box. If the table indeed has so few records, why not simply append the records in to a...
