I want to compare the objects created in 2 exes which are built using VFP6 SP5 and VFP8 SP1. I think about using saveas to save the objects in scx and then compare the scxs but the objects I want to compare are based on user-defined classes so saveas won't work according to VFP help. Basically...

Can CR8.5 be used to create labels which can be printed on dot matrix printer? Someone tells me that CR will always eject so it won't work for dot matrix printer.

darrellblackhawk, Thanks for the link. I thought this is related to Office Automation. I wonder how to add this COM add-in in VFP.

I'm reading this page: http://www.veritest.com/certification/ms/office.asp but don't know what add-in means. Thanks.

I know that I can use SQLConfigDataSource to create an ODBC System DSN. But I will like to know what happens to those settings like language and Use ANSI quoted identifiers. Are those settings will be default to the settings from the SQL Server so it will be similar to the checkbox Connect to...

Are there any difference between SQL Server 7 and SQL Server 2000 regarding set ansi_padding? I have the following script: set ansi_padding on declare @x integer select @x = 1 select case when @x = 1 then 'test ' else 'test2 ' end + 'result' Running the script in SQL Server 2000 will get...

Dave and Craig, I hope this will be more clear. test1.exe has the following coding: set procedure to test2.exe (my understanding this will put test2.exe in memory) set procedure to dummy1 (function x is defined in dummy1) Somewhere in test1.exe, I have this coding: do program_y with ...

Craig, My understanding is that test2.exe's main won't get executed since I'm not issuing do test2.exe but issuing do a program inside test2.exe. Is my understanding wrong? Thank you.

Hi Darrell, If you read my original post carefully, I already specify that the do coding cannot be changed. Thank you.

Hi Craig, Thank you for the detail explanation. I believe my case may be little bit more complicated. test1.exe has coding to set procedure to dummy1.prg additive and then a set procedure to test2.exe additive. From test1.exe, there is coding to call a program inside test2.exe. Since there...

function X exists in dummy1.prg. function X exists in dummy2.prg. dummy1.prg is built into test1.exe and dummy2.prg is built into test2.exe. test1.exe can call test2.exe. How can I make sure that when test1.exe calls test2.exe and test2.exe is using function X of dummy2.prg not the function X...

Mike, I'm using MS SQL Server 7 and MS SQL Server 2000. Have you seen any case that no semicolon will cause problem for these backends?

I got 2 separate cursors and SQL Server doesn't complain.

According to SQL BOL, semicolon is required to separate statements. But I can issue the following using VFP8SP1 and ODBC: csql = "select * from table1 " + ; "select * from table2" sqlexec(1, csql) It works as long as there is a space to separate the statements. I wonder whether this will...

Mike, Thank you for the link. Using transform(65535, "@0") will give 0x0000FFFF. ?0xFFFF will give 65535 with width = 5. What are those 0s between x and F for? It seems that they are some sort of placeholder because ?0x00FFFF will give 65535 with width = 8.
