How do I create an error handler for a date formatted textbox? [textbox.value=ctod(' / / ')] VFP6. A default handler kicks in when an invalid date is entered and I can't find a way to stop it whatever code I put in the error event. I want an invalid date to generate a messagebox to conform...

I see what you mean but I'm not sure. I copied the code from numerous examples shown on Tek-Tips and they don't follow your line. Thanks anyway I'll keep looking John

I'm trying to run a function using WScript, with the line var oShell=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.shell") However this only produces the error 'WScript is not defined' Wscript is installed. If you put the function code in a text file with a .js extension it runs OK in...

Mike Many thanks. I nearly made a fool of myself but fortunately thought to ask. Tek-Tips is wonderful John

I think I'm confusing the issue by my own ignorance here, with the terms table and database. Let's try the question another way. The Sender has Oracle. Can they send me the native data from their files on a CD so that I can access it on my system which does not have Oracle installed? Presumably...

I want to copy an Oracle table via a CD onto a system which does NOT have Oracle server installed. Can I then access that table via ODBC from Foxpro? If not any ideas. I don't want to have to buy an Oracle licence just for this one job. Thanks John

All the answers, quick as a flash. Thanks very much John

I want to create a grid which looks exactly like the files display in Windows Explorer. So I have a table with 2 fields, one being a general field with the icon in it and one with the file name. My grid has a oleboundcontrol in the first column and the file names in the second. No grid lines...

I want to run a programme on my local computer from a web page displyed in IE5. No problem to put a link on the page to the programme. But you then get the 'Do you want to run from present location or save to disk box'. There is a tick box to disable this but it's always greyed out. If you ask...

Tiffany Many thanks for the effort. At least you found it, I searched but didn't. In the end, with the speed of connection I have here (28KB on a good day,) it's easier to reformat my C drive than do the download. Thanks anyway John

No Sorry When it autoruns it tries to set up, lets me put the CD code in and starts to install. Then it stops and says 'Error 1500 a previous installation has not been completed' John

I was re-installing FP on Windows 98 when it aborted. Now I can't get it installed because it claims that a previous installation was incomplete. I have removed all the files I can find and all the FP tags in the registry but it still says there is a previous installation. Any ideas please as...

I have a number of forms in a project one of which is called NOMINAL and is saved as NOMINAL.scx. When I run the project two forms appear in the screen, Nominal and another called Search. The search form has a list of names in a grid and when you click on an item in the grid the nominal form is...

I've been using DBF2HTML and GenHTML.prg to output data as a list table into a browser using code from the DoHtml sample. It works fine. However the data grid displays with a grey background and doubled lines which doesn't fit with the rest of my displays. I can change the background colour...

I have a grid displaying fields from a view. Most columns are text boxes but one is an edit box displaying a memo field. There is also a dynamicbackcolor on all columns. The weird thing is that if the edit box or its column are read only it does not display the text or the dynamicbackcolor. All...
