When the binary bytes are recieved from the device, what is the best way to convert them into an integer? Scott

I was trying to make it much more complicated. Thanks Scott

I need to communicate via mscomm with a digitizer. According to the manufacturer if I send a binary 00000001 it will return three 8 bit bytes of data. Foxpro and Mscomm I have experience with but coding for binary is new to me. Thanks Scott

The code : ThisForm.Text1.Value = ; Evaluate(This.Parent.Parent.Column14.Text1.ControlSource) was what I needed. To clarify my need: I have a grid with production lot information. Job number, part number, PO number, etc. The user would find the job number in the grid for a project and...

I have a grid with 15 columns and need to dbl clk column 2 and put data from column 14 of the same row into a text box on the same form. Thanks, Scott

I have used a public variable 'home' that is the path to the data. It would typically default to the server ('\\mainserver\data\') To change that use a form to change the variable to local data: home='c:\mydata\' In your code use the variable to access data: use home + (datatable) or...

Richard, Here is how I put pictures on a form: In the table that holds the standard information (say cdinfo.dbf) which would have data like name,artist,date,recording label..... add a character field (say cdpic) long enough to hold the path to the image ('c\data\cd\images\eagles4.jpg' for...

Its a beautiful thing. Thanks for the help. Scott

We use internal pages in most areas but in the bosses office it is annoying. Is there a way to block an internal page on this phone only? Thanks, Scott

Mike, That was the problem. I had not put the path to the Access database in the ODBC setup. Thanks, Scott

I must have something setup wrong. When I run this code I also get a dialog box that I have to manually find the Access Database. Scott

Rick, Thanks for you reply. Every time I try to use the 'view' it opens a dialog box and I have to find the Access file manually. I don't know how to prevent that from happening. -Scott

I have a need to programmaticly (sp?) copy the data in an Access database to a DBF. I have looked at all the threads of ODBC connections but have had no success. I can open the file manually with a view and then use 'copy to emplist' to save it as a table. This works fine, but I need it to...

I agree. Put the pictures in a pictures directory then us a character field in a table to hold the path and filename of each picture. The table can associate a picture or pictures to a part number, person, etc. The picture can be easily displayed on a form or on a report. Scott

You can also use a public variable to store the path to the picture you want to display. set the picture property in report designer to 'file', and use the variable name, say pix for example. Then in your code: public pix pix = 'c:\yourapp\graphics\stdpic.jpg' repo form yourform Just change...
