Thanks Mike, I like your GetSpecial function based on Win API is much better than the one I have been using (which relies on WScript.Shell and a call to WSHShell.SpecialFolders(cSpecialFolder) for which I couldn't find an Internet_Cache directive). Your link to...

Hi, I need to be able to do 2 things: > Determine if a FILE() exists in the Temporary Internet Files / Cache 'folder' and FILETOSTR() its content if it does. I've tried many approaches (Using FILE(), ADIR(), FILETOSTR(), adding a MyFile[1] name...) but nothing seems to work. ** XP ...

Thanks OlafDoschke, I will try that next time I am granted access to the server.

Thanks danfreeman, Appreciate your input. The perfect laboratory is not quite: 1 server is my own, the other is at my clients'. The only thing in common is the OS... but if I bump into the solution I will be posting here. Btw, if it was an issue taking place with ANY other application/GUI...

Hi danfreeman, To illustrate in other other words: The application works perfectly in both but the app. menu (basically a variation of options based on the std. File, View, Help...) does not respond to mouse clicks in one of these. You click, say on 'Help' and the corresponding 'Help' options...

Hi, I am having a problem in a client site where the main/std. top menu of a VFP9-SP2 application is unresponsive. An identical issue was raised by another member of Tek-Tips back in 2011 under thread # 1662520, unfortunately, the updating of the mouse driver did not solve the problem. The...

This is an old thread but I stumbled upon this potential solution while searching for clues. Apparently, there is very significant improvement to the speed of networked VFP applications by disabling the network card driver Interrupt Moderation setting...

Olaf, Thank you for sharing these useful functions..! Regards, Kenneth

Thank you Mike! I must have overlooked that in the Help. Don't understand the rationale - given the number of apps out there that currently exhibit this behavior, several popular ones written in other languages come to mind - but at least it is documented...

Hello experts, I am having trouble specifying a 3-Key-Letter-Shortcut (such as: CTRL+ALT+B) using VFP's Menu Designer... it either ignores it or it will not display it. I want to place these system-wide definitions and make them visible on the menu, as I see done in many products. I...

For the benefit of others that may be following this thread... Perhaps the answer to my initial query (to find the default email client) can be obtained at the Windows Registry key: > HKey_Classes_Root\mailto\shell\open\command < Reg_SZ Data value would be then AT() searched for commonly used...

Dave (a.k.a DSummZZZ), That's perfect!!!! inetcpl.cpl is what I was looking for. At least I can point in that direction... Well deserved star! Kenneth

Additionally, is there a SYS() function or other for invoking the Control Panel/Internet Configuration (and possibly directly to the Programs tab)??

Hello! I want to be able to find out by reading the registry, what is the default email client and email address (if such email client has been configured for it). If there is no single value/key at the registry, can someone post the commonly used email client's reg. info pointers (OutLook and...
