I've hacked out a couple of routines in VFP that build a dbf from Outlook messages. Let me know if you would like the code. It's not completely polished but would get you started.

Thank you both. The screen=off was the problem. It now works. I was able to learn the coverage log in the process, so thanks to Nigel also.

Look for GKKCOMPARE.APP for this chore.

I've been working on a simple executable (stand-alone) in VFP but the BUILD of the project creates an EXE that does not run standalone in Windows. It works in the VFP development environment. From Windows, the EXE stalls after the startup step and fails to display the first form. Other...

Answering my own inquiry: A missing file in Windows\system32 was responsible. Check for hlink.dll. Without it you have problems jumping to the url in Outlook, Excel, and other programs. Also you have big problems installing some new software, as I did with Microsoft Expression Web (said a file...

Why would the feature in FrontPage 2003 that marks a spot with a hyperlink stop opening up? I've used this software for several versions several years but the right-button click to start a hyperlink has stopped giving me the window that inserts a URL address. To cope with this I uninstalled FP...

I'm using the Adobe Acrobat program (which writes Acrobat PDF files, not just the reader). Is there a way to set defaults, such as file names, folders, and other parameters?

Visit WWW.EASYASP.ORG for the editor EasyASP. It's free and has most of the features one wishes for. The interface with FTP takes some getting used to. I haven't found an ASP editor that catches your errors the way some of the dedicated program editors do (such as FoxPro or Visual Basic).

What's the deal with Outlook 2003 objecting to the macros I run and created in previous versions? The next time I enter Outlook it says a message that "Outlook developed a serious error the last time it was run . . . do you want to disable the addin VBA . . ." Then you have to agree YES to...

To answer my own inquiry, the problem here has been that the permissions were not set to anonymous or "everyone" and therefore the updates would not be accepted. "Not updateable query" is what the server tells you if you don't have permission to update a database.

Using FrontPage 2002, I'm trying to modify database fields. First, I attempted to use the "Database Interface Wizard." This failed. (The errors there were "supply defaults" etc. which I thought I did. Also the generated display exposes all the records, not a specific one, which means I can't...

I'm working on a macro in Outlook 2003. I've got it replying to an email message with subject, body text, and attachment. I can't get the syntax right for adding a "signature" to the message. This doesn't work: Item.Signature = "My Normal Signature" Even though Item.Body = "text of message...

I've recently begun appreciating Outlook's Vcards, a nicely formatted name-address-email file card. Is there a way to dump one's entire contact file into a Vcard file? I'm considering putting our organization's membership list on our web site as a collection of vCards. But I don't want to have...

"Previewing messages in your outbox depends on your sending options. If your message sending options are set to send automatically once you click send when you click the outbox folder the folder would naturally be empty you just get a message saying that their is nothing to view in the...

Does Outlook 2000 provide a preview pane for every directory? I can't get one to show up in the menu for the Outbox. All the other folders provide a preview pane.
