Yes I agree - in this case you followed up months later with a piece of additonal info - and it saved us a good bit of time and trouble! Cheers... Joe Halloran

FYI - we just ran into this issue moving an app from a Win2k server to Win 2003 with the old vfpoledb - same everything as far as we could tell on both servers - worked fine on Win2K, same "Provider not found" error on the new server - I followed your advice above and downloaded VFPOLEDB (VFP 9...

Thanks. Thought I should check before digging in... Joe Halloran

I am wondering if there is a utility that will generate a vfp report from a vfp form. It seems to me I read about one some time ago. I need to do some reports that mirror the layout of the data entry forms - a print screen utility wont do it because many of the fields are memo fields. Thanks...

Thanks much - that works. Joe Halloran

I need to select the records from tableA that do not have a matching record in TableB. I can do that in VFP lingo easily but would like to use SQL. I don't see an easy way to do this with SQL - is there a straightforward way? Thanks for any help... Joe Halloran

If I need to force a file closed the way I know to do it is: Computer Management>Shared Folders>Open Files Then sort thru to the file I need to close. 1. Is there a better way? 2. Is there a way to set a shortcut to go directly to the Open Files screen? 3. Is there a way to search the open...

Thanks for borderstyle tip. After some experimentation I am back to using a reference to the parent window and putting the following in the child window resize event: thisform.oCallingWindow.windowState = thisform.WindowState thisform.resizeroutine && a control resizing class This works...

Brak - My app was fpw not fpd. The control is a listbox. I cannot remember where this fix came from - I did not create it. The fix was to define (in the screen generator) the item source as from a field and then enter a function call instead of a field: showitem() where: proc showitem...

Thanks Mike - that works. I am also considering changing the ShowWindow to Top Level - then it can be sized independent of the calling window. I think I can make the calling window unavailable while the called window is active with .visible = .f. - or disable the button that calls the child...

I remember running into something like this when my 2.6 apps started running on faster machines. I think the problem was that the machine was outpacing fp's speed in getting the data for the array. I think the fix was to build a wait loop into the snippet that was fetching the data. I can dig...

Thanks - no the calling form is a top-level form. Joe Halloran

I have a form that calls a search form that in turn calls a results form that displays a lengthy client record. I'd like the user to be able to maximize this form, resizing the data for readability. Currently this is only possible if the calling form has been maximized before the results form...

Mike - thanks I will check that issue - I have it here. Craig - thanks - I hadnt connected the dots - on the users machines the font probably looks just fine - do you know which setting messagebox takes its font from? I keep my icon fonts very small so that would explain.... Joe Halloran

Thanks Mike - yes I think I will as soon as I get a minute <s> - the font is just too small in MessageBox(). It looks like Mike Gagnon has some code in the FAQ for this purpose and Steven Black has a MsgSvc program that also looks promising - so there are models to build on. Joe Halloran
