Thanks again all of you for the valuable input. I followed Doug's suggestion with ShellExecute and the Vista users now get the UAC prompt to Allow/Disallow. Great. I spent much of the morning following your links to much of the VFP<->Vista relationship. There's a lot to consider, not only in...

Thanks Doug for the valuable input and link. A star for sure. I will be trying this change this morning and will let you all know the results. Any job worth doing is worth doing right!

We've been tearing our hair out over this one. Because we are a VFP9 shop, I hope that this is the appropriate forum for posting this one, even though the problem is only with clients running Vista. Our distributed multi-user package has an Auto-Update feature that allows downloading and/or...

Thanks Ilyad for the link. Thanks a lot Pamela for your tip ... very much appreciated. These links really helped a lot. Roy

Thanks Pamela ... I tried putting it before the DISPLAY, but that generated an error. However, putting it after the display worked OK to minimize it. I would prefer to actually open it minimized to avoid repainting the screen, but I will have to play with that... Quick question for you ... is...

For our email communication, We open MS-Outlook with the following code: &&--------------------------------------- PUBLIC loOutlook as Object, loNameSpace as Object, loFolder as Object loOutlook = CREATEOBJECT("Outlook.Application") loNameSpace = loOutlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI") loFolder =...

Could somebody please let me know exactly what happens when you click the upper-right Windows "X" box to quit the top-level EXE, as opposed to clicking the VFP-form button defined as the CANCEL button. I have a situation with the main EXE able to load forms (modal and/or modeless) and/or EXEs...

Thanks Tamar for the reply, but ... Your 1st suggestion re scan would result in too many executions of a REPORT FORM... during a print run. A typical printjob may be a secretary printing calendars for several Users and expects the full printjob to be sorted / grouped by User + Month as in the...

I forgot to mention ... I know I can get around this by having a combined FRX with all items from both existing FRXs, and use PRINT WHENs to determine printability of each item, but I was trying to avoid that...

I have implemented a set of daily / weekly / monthly Calendar reports to our Calendar system that we are incorporating into our main system. These 3 reports are the same style as the daily / weekly / monthly Calendar reports from MS-Outlook Calendar (including the upper-right displays of...

Thanks Mike ... I'll give it a try ... this may be what I need. Roy

I have designed and implemented a VFP toolbar into a test system, including a popup on one of the button pairs (as in the VFP ... Samples...Sedona\newtbars.vcx). Everything appears to work well both docked and undocked, except I have one concern. I don't want this toolbar to be able to be...

Thanks Mike (and everyone else) for the input ... it works perfectly now.

More on this ... found after incorporating into my app. It is still workable, but with a little modification. TXTWIDTH() actually returns the number of characters "of average size" for that particular string based on the Font used. I had to use FONTMETRIC(6,"MS SANS SERIF",9) to get the...

Thanks Boris ... that works great. I remember trying this before in an older version of VFP, but it wasn't always accurate. It seemed to take some average sizing for a variable-pitch font, but I now get accurate sizing in VFP9.
