I've been researching whether or not the new 2007 Daylight Savings Time Change is going to affect Crystal Reports 8.5. It appears from the Business Objects Website that it affects Crystal Reports XI so I would assume it also affects CR 8.5. That being said, BO no longer supports 8.5 and will...

I'm hoping someone can help me out as I am not familiar with Domino at all and our expert is out off the office for several months. I'm researching whether or not I need to do anything with our Lotus Domino applications with regards to the change in daylight savings time. With my Microsoft...

While I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this question, I just want to ask anyway for confirmation. As far as my research shows, the change in Daylight Savings Time is not going to affect FoxPro (5,6 or 8) as long as the server the application is running on has the correct DST patch...

Forgive me in advance if I'm asking a silly question as I haven't used VB.NET yet. Does anyone know of any 3rd party products that exist for VB.NET that have a comprehensive framework for rapid application development (outside of the framwork that comes with VB.NET)? Currently, we use Visual...

Is there an easy way to export a cursor or table from VFP 6.0 to a text file with fixed width fields? I know you can do it through FCREATE and FPUTS but I'm wondering if there is an easier way. TIA, Michelle

Ok. I learned something new today after looking in the Oracle Forum where I had also posted the question. Turns out that there are two different kinds of ODBC. You need the ODBC that has a wire protocol in order to use ODBC without installing the Oracle client. If you use the non-wire...

Mike - actually, I can't see the Oracle machine at the moment (I'm pretty confident the net client isn't installed). Neil - I did try to install the drivers - they don't work if you don't have the correct software installed that Oracle indicates. You don't even see an Oracle 9i option when...

Can an Oracle 9i ODBC driver be installed without installing the Oracle client? I am using Visual FoxPro 6.0 and need to connect up to an Oracle 9i database. I have not been able to find anything that allows me to install the ODBC driver without installing the client. Also, if this is...

Thanks Mike. I already went the Oracle route and installed one of those drivers before I posted my initial post. The readme.txt file indicated: "The ODBC driver depends on the Net Client being already installed on the system." So, it seemed I needed to go a different route as I could not find...

Thanks for replying Mike. Now, that being said, I cannot find a Microsoft driver for Oracle 9i anywhere. I've searched the Microsoft site and became a little concerned when I read the following: SUMMARY This article describes the limitations of the current version of Microsoft ODBC Driver and...

My coworkers keep insisting that I need to install Oracle 9 in order to use VFP 6.0 to connect up to an Oracle database. I thought all I needed was an Oracle 9 ODBC connection (I'm struggling with believing that every VFP developer connecting to Oracle actually has to purchase Oracle for his...

Does anyone know if LEI can be used to connect to Visual FoxPro 6.0 databases (ODBC)? Thanks. Michelle

I'm using VFP6.0 - can anyone tell me how to convert a SCX form to a vcx? Thanks. Michelle

Thanks but that doesn't work either . . . . Michelle

I'm printing a report to the PDFWriter 5.0 through the click of a button in a screen I have created. When the box pops up for me to enter what I want the name of the file to be, it defaults to a path I don't want it to default to. How can I change what path the box is opening with? I've tried...
