If you're using the VFP 7 beta the Intellisense Manager doesn't seem to save your shortcuts to its reference table. 2 are already setup for you and work. "MC " expands to "MODIFY COMMAND ", "MF " to "MODIFY FILE ". To add more open the foxcode table in...

I don't remember the details but Doug Hennig of Stonefield has a white paper on controls including this one. I'm sure you'll find it helpful. www.stonefield.com John Durbin john@eps-software.com MCP Visual FoxPro ICQ VFP ActiveList #73897253

GetDirectoy() is bad though. For instance getting to the desktop is stupid in GetDir(). It's interface dates back to FPD, FPW 2.6 and Win 3.11 doesn't it? I'd prefer to try anything but it and work around whatever I have to do. Especially when he already asks about an alternative. API, WSH...

I like the freebie MSCommonDialogue control. Have you tried it? John Durbin john@eps-software.com MCP Visual FoxPro ICQ VFP ActiveList #73897253

Hey Jon you're not in Houston are you? I haven't been to a user group meeting yet. I think I just missed this month's being here in St Louis. Anyone here in Houston? BTW, is it ok to chatter in the forums a bit? I don't know :o John Durbin www.EPS-Software.com MCP Visual FoxPro ICQ VFP...

Thanks you guys. Jon, yea. I'm back in St Louis now but will be back in Houston again next week. VFP can be effectively used in so may ways I'm trying to get an appreciation for what/how it's mostly used for by developers. I sometimes wonder if current movements reflect needs and desires or...

I posted my above message above quite a while ago. Since then I've ordered hetzenwerke books and the personal service was outstanding from Whil. He rushed me my books right out that day although stupid UPS didn't come and said they did. Not his fault though. I see that you can download...

I'm curious what types of application designs everyone is using VFP for mainly in whole or in part. Monolithic - single or multi user Client/Server VFP front end VFP back end n-Tier Presentation Business Data Web Services I'm thinking but I could be way wrong is that most VFP...

ONe thing is you define constants not variables though that may be what you meant. Your company name should be enclosed in quotes in an Include file as you have above. Could your app find the Include file? Is it included in your project? You can also include Include files in the classes...

Is there no API call that retrieves the NIC id from the registry? Hard to believe John Durbin www.EPS-Software.com MCP Visual FoxPro ICQ VFP ActiveList #73897253

I'm already building the string so I figured I'd just work with the local var holding it; lcString or lcFile whatever Examples ?? "hello world" doesnt work ??? "hello world" spools. Checking the printer spooler it even states the Status as Spooling. Got weird responses...

Did you set up DCOM? I didnt hear the word DCOM anywhere. John Durbin www.EPS-Software.com MCP Visual FoxPro ICQ VFP ActiveList #73897253

I used ! or RUN to make the following work in 2.6 but VFP is different and it won't work. Now I'm trying the ??? in VFP. Maybe its just buffered or something. ! COPY MyFile LPT2 ??? lcFile Maybe I should explain what I'm doing. I'm sending printer codes to an Eltron barcode printer. It's...

I dont know what it does but you may just put code in the lost focus or valid of the last control to go to the next form. Are forms hidden that aren't activated? Can you click between forms? I'm sure you know how rewrites are the only real way to convert so I won't preach. If the second...
