Hi FOXUP, I presume your post is in reply to Nifrabar's solution. Mine doesn't involve enlarging the field on the report. Jim

Have your "More Notes In System ..." print conditionally (Print When) based on: LEN(ALLTRIM(DESC)) > LEN(myReportfield) Jim

Thanks clipper01, FYI, no xCopy; just a single install .exe generated by Inno Setup. Jim

Thanks to all for the very helpful replies. Jim

They looked into .net very seriously and actually chose it originally. But then changed their mind, feeling that it was important for the main app to be "cross-platform." Hence Java. This main app isn't used in-house, but is a data entry and reporting package that they provide to their...

Prompted by the "demise" of VFP my customer has decided to convert all their existing apps, and commence all new development in Java. I don't know anything about Java, so they're looking for someone who does. My question is pretty general and pretty vague: what comes to mind when thinking of...

Another way a field (is it a textbox?) could be uneditable is if the When event contains code that returns .F. A longshot, but possible. Jim

Problem solved. Somewhere on the web I found this: "The xfrxlib.fll library requires three DLLs from Microsoft to be installed: gdiplus.dll, msvcr71.dll and msvcp71.dll." Our installation routine was omitting msvcp71.dll and so I guess it was a hit or miss thing that the dll happened to be...

This app has been running reliably for years. The user says that nothing in the environment has changed except for (rather frequent) Windows updates. Jim

Thanks, Mike. The answers to your questions are: yes and yes. Jim

With no changes to the app the user is getting error code -6 when trying to create a PDF. This error is described in the xfrx user's guide as "xfrxlib.fll cannot be loaded (it is missing or invalid)". In fact the .fll is neither missing nor invalid (it works fine on my computer). We're...

Right, Olaf. My solution assumes a fixed number of fields. Jim

My approach would be to create a cursor prior to running the report wherein the "not wrapped" fields are combined in the same record as the wrapped field. Jim

Hi Bart, Is the wrapped field "Stretch with overflow?" Jim

Thanks guys. The Inno Setup install I use for this app seems to work fine all over the world. At this particular installation they installed the program with full administrator rights. I don't have details yet but they now notice that another (different) VFP application is installed at the...
