The only thing that changed was the server...from Windows 2000 Pro to Windows XP Pro. The problem program only accesses the server for the tables. The two clients are running as stand-alones except for this. All was fine and they told me the field would not display until the pointer entered...

Sorry to be so long Dan, but _Screen.Themes is not supported in FoxPro 2.6. This has been running several years and suddenly started doing this. No programming was changed as this is a compiled EXE file. They are running Windows XP and have changed no settings. This one has me climbing the...

I have an old program running. I find the customer, scatter memvar and then using @...Say to view. I am displaying this information on the screen: Ship To: Ship Address: Ship City,State,Zip: When the fields display, "Ship To:" doesn't display until the field is entered...

Thanks Ramani & Olaf. I wasn't aware the .SCX was a table. I can't find the error but I can cut/past the procedures so I don't have to re-write. Thanks again, Millard

I finished a form yesterday and when I went to edit it today, I get the following error message: "Error loading file - record number 13 <or one of its members>. Parent: Expression evaluated to an illegal value." Any ideas about how to avoid re-writing? Thanks, Millard

I am using Visual FoxPro 9.0, SP2 and Windows 7 operating system. Lately, I have clients (customers)and myself having a problem with a form operating erratically. I have a phone field with the mask 999-999-9999. It has been working fine for a couple of years. Today it quit working and only...

This should be very simple but I have drawn a blank. I want to have a data entry form for Time Cards. They will be entered on Saturday for the previous week. I can lay out the screen but using DateTime function makes the screen far too intimidating. I would like to have a time in and a time...

Thanks to both of you. I have it working fine now. Millard

I need to disable all txt, cmd & etc. until a txt field losses focus (VendId) from an entry, then turn on all other fields. IU know how to turn each one off individually, but I know there is a command that will do this. Thanks for any suggestions... Millard

Hi Dan, I do not have the code in front of me but it is: locate for m.invnum$invnum. As it is, this program is working fine on my personal computer and has been working okay for about four years. I am suspecting Windows XP operating system or a computer hard-drive problem. (I have not...

Thanks Griff. I am using a simple locate with this routine so the index file is not used. However, I did check on this and they re-index their files weekly for the other routines. Millard

I have a client who has been running the same procedure for about four years. Now, when searching for an invoice number, it cannot find it. I can exit VFP (9) and reload and it will find it. If I repeat this procedure it may or may not find it again. It is very inconsistent. I checked and...

Thanks for your advice. I was thinking of linking to the video but was not sure if this was the best approach. Thanks again to everyone, Millard

I know XLS and pictures can be stored in a General field, but how about a video clip? I need to download from a Police unit dash mounted video camera. I can edit the video and get and save the portion I need but I need the ability to search through a table and pick out the one needed. Can I do...

Thanks for the tips. I tried removing an adware blocker that does authomatic updates and this appears to have remedied the problem. I worked a full 10 hours straight and it never lost focus or the active window on top. Thanks again guys, Millard
