Thanks for the input. I did get it working... I reset my top sysmenu to _medit and it is working... dont know why it was different in vfp 6... was probably just lucky. Just knowing that it had not changed pointed me in the right direction. Thank you.

The copy /paste does work in vfp 9 when I use modify command. Is it using something other than _med_copy and _med_paste in VFP 9?

Do I have the latest version of VFP 9? I am using Visual FoxPro 09.00.0000.5815 for Windows

Hi Tamar, Yes, I have a menu pad on it ... and it works perfectly in VFP 6. Is there something I need in the config.fpw that I might have missed? I have both versions on my machine and flip back and forth all the time. They use the same config.fpw. It is very strange... a ctrl+c will...

I have edit boxes in forms in VFP 6 with a popup to copy/paste and it works fine, but when I try the same form in VFP 9, the copy {ctrl+c} erases the text and will not paste. Any clue what I am doing wrong? Do I need something more to make it compatible?

Yes, I do have that in place. It was an honest, clear cut, bug. I am trying some new printing practices on the hosted platform. I did not fully test one place in the code that stepped out of procedure. I have fixed the problem. But I am anxious to prevent it from ever happening again...

I run a hosted application over 10 servers, each having 200 users. I have over 100 businesses across the US and Canada that use my software. I update the servers about once a month with changes and sometimes have been known to make a mistake. The software consists of over 3000 modules now...

That would be a good approach yes... to solve the root issue. I guess I am just not as good a programmer as some people. Hopefully, I can keep learning... only been at this for almost 40 years now.

The FAQ is just what I needed, but do you know of any way to take of the "Create Adobe PDF Online" button? It will let the user get into the internet and possibly bring in a virus. I want them to just see the pdf file... nothing else. Is this possible? Thanks for your help.

Is there a way to view a pdf file in vfp where the user cannot see a "File" button or "Internet" button. I want to display a pdf file inside my app, but dont want the user to have any access to the rest of the computer or network. How can I disable those features where they can browse the...

You might try ?sys(1037) set print on ... print report set print off set print to

Thanks for your response, but I dont think that is it. I had them print something in MSWORD using the courier new font and it came out ok. They do not have full VFP on their system, only my EXE. Does MSWord do something different than VFP?

I have an application where I print reports using the following method: ?sys(1037) && select which printer ?set print on set printer font 'courier new',8 type &prtfile && straight txt file set print off set print to Does VFP use different fonts or drivers than FPW? When I compiled the same...
