    ( ) in Caption property of page

    I tried it with a letter (not a punctuation symbol) at the end of the caption and it seemed to work. Still don't know why this property is not ignored in non-Middle East versions. Michael

    Aborting 1 report out of a series

    We send up to 30 reports to the printer. some of which are lengthy. There is a delay between reports as the data is manipulated, and I put in If lastkey() = CHR(27) to see if escape was pressed, and abort the report. It works fine, except when the next report is being processed, the IF...

    form not visible

    When I double click a pdf document on the internet, I get a blank screen after a message on the bottom says "Installing Components" and then a little box with an "X" in it in the top right corner. It works fine when I click on a PDF document on my local drive.

    FDF w/Reader works, but w/Actobat doesn't

    I had a similar problem, but I can't remember how it was fixed. Did you try loading the FDF file instead of the PDF file? Are all version compatible?

    windows installer and vfp 7

    We are using ISE Version 4.01 SP1. Would changing the Product code and/or Upgrade code help? Would copying to a new folder make a difference? Once the libraries are registered, why the the registry have to be involved at all. Thanks.

    windows installer and vfp 7

    I tried all that. to no avail. They may have aborted the installer. But why should any of this affect prior years. Could the registry have been affected, and can it be cleaned up? Thanks for any help. I'm Desperate. Michael

    Can VFP determine version of Adobe

    I have an application that prints PDF files. If the user has Acrobat Professional installed, I can do it transparently using the coding in chapter 8 of MegaFox by Hertzenwerke Publishing. The only way I can do it if the user has only the Acrobat Reader installed is by using ShellExecute. 1. Is...

    ShellExecute tp print and then delete file

    I am using ShellExecute to print a PDF file. I gave up on trying to close adobe Acrobat when the printing is done. I also want to delete the file after it is printed. However, the file is in use until released by ShellExecute and the Delete command fails, or the delete command executes too...
