ok, thank you guys. I'll dig into this over the weekend and see if I can resolve.

Thank you gentlemen. I know I provided a lot of information and it may have been missed from the title that I am using Foxprow 2.6, not VFP. The reports are also not being created using the forms tool. The program literally establishes a TXT file and starts outputting data to the file (It...

Hi Experts! My goal is to convert a batch of TXT files (that were created by a Fox program)to PDF using the Fox application. I already have a program that takes each TXT file, sends to the Printer, converts to PDF. In fact, it has been working successfully for years, until a server crash and...

ok, I will give that a try. Thanks again.

CHRISS! That was it! the PIF file. So, it was KILLING me because I swear there was a close on exit option and I checked the properties of the bat file... and a few other places. My eventual thought was that Win 10 took that away but your message about the PIF struck a memory... and its weird...

I will give that a try Chriss. thanks. I will circle back with results in a day or 2

Hi Chris, I am not sure about that... My dad was the original programmer, but here's what I know... The program executes this bat file using the command RUN LM_BKUP.BAT It executes the following DEL BACKUP\BACKUP.ZIP DEL *.BAK DEL *.TBK DEL *.ZIP DEL *.TXT DEL *.CSV WZZIP BACKUP\BACKUP.ZIP...

Sorry for the confusion... In a program, i am executing some commands that deletes files and also backs up files to a zip. When the command executes, the Run Command window opens as shown. This closes automatically when the command is completed in my Windows XP environment. In my Win 10 32 bit...

Hi Experts, It's been a while since my last post but have several coming your way... I have recently installed Fox 2.6 on a windows 10 32bit virtual machine. in my new environment, I seemed to have a lost a setting where an inactive FoxPro Run Command screen would close automatically. Now I...

CHRIS! That fixed the underlying issue!!! You're a genius Thank you, joe

Thank you gentlemen. I'll have a look and try a few things. this happens mostly to me when I use my laptop screen and connecting via VPN. The actual screen size is bigger than my display and if I change resolution to see 100% of the screen, everything is tiny... therefore not practical. I can...

Hello and Happy New Year. The display of msgbox() is appearing outside of the borders of the Foxpro shell (window) and I was wondering if there is a setting (possibly through config.fpw or similar) that I can control position of this box? Thanks, Joe

Not sure why it did not display but here it is... without using the code display feature here. Thanks Kamran SELECT Lm_pkage.cert_code, Lm_pkage.min_remain, Lm_em2cc.email; FROM Lm_pkage, Lm_em2cc; WHERE Lm_em2cc.cert_code = Lm_pkage.cert_code; AND Lm_pkage.min_remain > 0; INTO TABLE...

Hi Guys, me again, making trouble... I am trying to create a file (.txt) pulling data from various Fox 2.6 tables. I realize the help you give is only as good as the info I give so I will do my very best... Ultimately I want to to create a mini program with the proper SQL statements. For now...

HI Mike and Olaf, For practice... i edited the prior post as Olaf suggested to correct my code posting. Hope I did it correctly!! Thanks again. P.S. I am not qualified to migrate to VFP but I am at least thinking that this may be a step I should investigate. Imagine it's easier to run on more...
