I am trying to work with form transparency similar to what is in the What's New In VFP8.0 examples. Everything works fine except when I initially call SetWindowLong and SetLayeredWindowAttributes. The form goes BLACK for a couple of seconds. Is there anyway to get around this? I have tried...

Jim, I am using SQLServer so I am absolutely positive that I am issuing the select statement against the same table. So I am at a total loss?????

I am using the same SQL Database as the dev. environment. The perplexing thing is that it is the SIMPLEST select statement in my entire application. The statement is literally SELECT * FROM recpt_messages. It works fine on XP, but will not work on the Win 2000 machine. Also #1, the...

I created an APP on my XP Pro dev. machine using VFP 8.0. I have had some problem though running it on Win2000. 1) The first time I fired the app up on Win2000, I got a data mismatch error and I finally traced it down to XP saw the field as a CHARACTER Win 2000 as a NUMERIC. 2) A simple...

When the user presses the close button in the control box, is there anyway to have it ask if the user actually wants to close or just minimize the screen? Hope this makes sense. Thanks

Can you hide the main VFP Window? I would like for an application to run in the background and be able to access it via a system tray icon. Thanks

If it is stored as military time (ie. 0330) in a character field, couldn't you take the VAL(LEFT(time,2)) and substract 4. If the value is less than 0, then it would be the previous day and you would need to adjust for it, maybe by adding 24 (eg. -3 + 24 = 21 which is 9PM the previous day)...

I appologize for being one of those people that post the same question (as I know I have seen the answer before); however, I have been searching for and can not find it. With that said......... I am trying to Automate Outlook and when I try to access outlook, a box pops up which allows me to...

How do you release a com object from memory? I have a VFP com that I am accessing from Studio.NET. When I issue ox = Nothing in Studio.NET, the process remains. Can you kill the COM from within itself?
