    vfp6 opening a project in the Development mode

    William, Most welcome. And I know where you are coming from "Can't see the forest - all these )(*&()*&%*$ trees are getting in the way!

    problems with understanding source code

    The debugger works on forms and programs, etc. Open up the project, place breakpoints in the the code/form methods, etc. where you want to investigate things and then run the Main.Prg. When execution reaches a breakpoint, your debugger will appear. If it doesn't select Tools->Debugger in the...

    vfp6 opening a project in the Development mode

    William, Try deleting your FoxUser table. VFP will re-create them automatically. The FoxUser table is where VFP stores your preferences.

    Is it possible to modify a form generated by a Wizard?

    Sorry about that - forgot to use UPPER(cSurname) in the where condition - couldn't figure out how to edit the post once I found the error.

    Is it possible to modify a form generated by a Wizard?

    Just to add to what everybody else has given you, the forms that the wizard creates are not all that user friendly. Lets assume that you create that wizard based form over a table that has 1,000,000 records and your user wants to get to a record located somewhere near the middle. That user...

    restoring screen from different monitor

    Saving a screen print (using snagit or something like that) is of some value, Logging the event properly makes more sense. What is the error? What method or event triggered the error? What tables are open at the time? What are the record pointers for these tables (what is the RECNO() or...

    Creating a new empty table from existing

    William, Let me see if I have you - you have a table called Temp2 and the user can "decide" to use temp2 !!?? How can the user make this decision? In a typical app, a user may have a temporary table (for example a data input batch might be stored in a temporary table when the user needs to...

    Remote connection within VFP

    Ash, It does rather sound as if you need to use Remote Desktop/Terminal Services (Or any of a number of other similar utilities - PC Anywhere, etc.) The first thing you will need is an account with permissions that allow you to access the customer's machine via T/S and you will need...

    printing full page of details with a footer

    Not really sure what you are asking but try this: Create a report and set your page footer up so it uses up most of the page. You don't have to put anything in there. Now run the report and you will see a whole bunch of blank space used up for the page footer. In other words, your detail...

    how to use setup-code in short-menu

    Bart, Like Mike, I too have a cut/copy/paste/undo/redo section in my main menu, so I don't have to do the same thing in the rightclick menu. I reserve rightclick menus for items specific to that particular control. For example, Reset to Default, Clear, Help, etc. If you leave cut/copy/paste...

    Using multiple databases in FoxPro

    If you are using tables in your D/E, this may be the problem. Normally, the relative path "AppDir\Data" remains constant. For example, \\Server\Production\AppDir\Data VS \\Server\Development\AppDir\Data But in this case you are changing the relative path...

    Order By in Report built with code

    Q, After looking at that code, I would most definately want to rewrite it. At first blush, I think you could turn all of this into a single select statement. Much easier to maintain in the future - and NOW is always a good time to make code better. Ken

    Order By in Report built with code

    I think you missed Dave Summers reply. Your problem in this index statement is that you are concatenating numbers and characters - you cannot do this. Change the numbers into characters using the str() function (just as you did for postalzone, copies and orderby. INDEX ON IIF(Copies > 1...

    Order By in Report built with code

    If I have a complex report to do, I simplify it using a SELECT statement. For example, if you have a series of tables to use (all related to eachother) and you need to set an index that goes across these tables, it becomes somewhat complex. Get the complexities out of the way using SELECT...
