If possible, it's probably easier to create a view and base it on that. -skelly

Has anyone upgraded from OpenLinux 2.3 to the latest (eDesktop) version? Are there pros/cons to do this? Just wondering. Thanks - skelly<br>

Oops, sorry - I meant create *remote* views to it.

You'd have to create a connection to it as an ODBC data source, then create remove views to it.<br><br>skelly

I played with FoxWord when the links were still warm (*s*) a couple years back - looked OK but not as good as I wanted at the time... it was quite a while ago. That's probably why the idea kind of died though - reports didn't translate cleanly between output and .RTF formats.<br><br>Crystal...

I'm not sure of the ODBC SQL syntax, but you could do something like: SELECT... WHERE LEN(TRIM(EXIT_STATUS)) = 0<br><br>-skelly<br>

This is just a shot in the dark, but I believe when you do a REPORT ... TO FILE it saves it in whatever format the default FoxPro printer is set to - David's is set to a PostScript printer, so it saves as PostScript and is therefore readable by Word - yours saves as PCL (Laserjet default?) so it...

There is a windows emulator for Linux, called WINE. You can read about it in, among other places, <A HREF="http://www.winehq.com" TARGET="_new">www.winehq.com</A>, but note that work on it is ongoing. From what I understand, people have had varying degrees of success with it... I've never tried...

Well, there are a couple of ways. One way is you could create a global variable - this is the easiest way, but it's an Object-Oriented no-no. A better way is to store custom properties on the form(s). The only thing there is that you have to know - or find out - that the other form is really...

No, actually it is &quot;FoxPro Window Font&quot;, if chr(179) is supposed to be a pipe character - &quot;FoxFont&quot; is the old DOS FoxPro font that was meant to mimic DOS for Windows, but using this shows a different character than a pipe for chr(179). Take a look at both and use whichever...

You probably want to specify &quot;FoxPro Window Font&quot; as your default font. It should be included with all FPW/VFP distributions, I think. -SK

Following the same thought as above, you could also do:<br><br>select field1, left(field2, len(field2)), field3 from table1<br>copy to mytextfile <br><br>or<br><br>select field1, left(field2, len(alltrim(field2))), field3 from table1<br>copy to mytextfile<br><br>-SK

Thanks, that did it. I knew it was something simple!<br><br>SK

I'm sure I've done this before, but I'll be damned if I can remember how... I need to have a scrollable but read-only text field. If I use an edit box and disable it you can't scroll - but otherwise, how do I prevent editing? I've tried putting a RETURN .F. and RETURN 0 in the keypress and...

Thanks all, I'll take your advice - especially KDE! -SK
