Thanks guys. That's what I'm looking for. I'll try both methods. I appreciate the help. Bill vV

Hello friends, I use OE6 on both my desktop and laptop (the latter while traveling). While away I pickup and send email on the laptop. When I return home I want to take the Inbox, Sent and Deleted emails from the laptop and place them into the desktop directories (without overwriting any of the...

cdogg: I'm using the monitor at a lower resolution (1024x768) than its native state. I did try the native resolution, and the problem was no better (well, maybe a tiny bit better). And worse, the teeny tiny characters at that resolution were virtually illegible for my middle-aged visual acuity...

Hello cdogg, Thanks for your reply. Yes, I'm saying that the problem is 100.0% gone, at all sizes, in all fonts, in all applications. And yes, I know it would be no problem with a standard CRT, which is what I used for >20 yrs without trouble. But as I see it -- and I'm very dumb about...

Thanks for your reply, cdogg. Your reply is what I feared, i.e. an intrinsic problem. But the fact that my monitor is able to show the gray letters as "true black" when viewed from an abnormally low angle caused me to look further. I stumbled across the following Q&A... Q: MText editor...

Hello friends, Has anyone out there seen a problem like this? I am using a Princeton 17" LCD monitor, VL173, which has had this problem since it was new. At lower font sizes (usually 9 point and below) black text letters gray out and become dim. Some of the details are: 1. When the view angle...

Thanks for all the great input, guys. Mike Lewis, you hit it on the head with your first suggestion. This alone provided the continuity of the highlight from page to page. And it required only the one line of SetFocus() in each Activate event to do it. It also is effective in keeping the active...

Hello friends, Problem: How to maintain the same active row on 4 grids (1 each on 4 pages of a pageframe). I have a 4-page Pageframe on a Form. Each page has a similar grid bound to the same table (TEMPDATA). Each page-grid displays a different set of fields from the table. When the active row...

Many thanks, guys. Your suggestions were what I needed. With them, I'm up and running. Bill

Hello friends, I am trying to get a one-form EXE file to appear properly on the desktop, without showing the VFP window. This is apparently a common problem, because there are multo-multo questions about it on the forum. I have spent about two hours checking many of them them out, without...

Yep, I get it... Tek-Tips = UrDocumentation! Bill

Thanks a million, Mike. That was it. It certainly isn't intuitive, and I can't figure why that reset action isn't performed by the Refresh. I had searched for 30-45 minutes for some clue and found none in many different docs. Deserves a star for "exotic esoterica". A great save! Bill

Hello friends, I have a grid on Form (actually on a Form > Pageframe > Page) which does not refresh when expected. The grid's RowSource is an SQL select from the source table TEMPDATA. The code to refresh the source table for the grid is: DO FORM changefilter to cNewfilter *Returns a...

Thanks for your input Rick and Mike. Rick: I am using VFP8.0 SP1. Mike: I was afraid of just what you say. I think I'll search around in some Windows resources to see if I can find any keystroke(s) which are intended to cause a keyboard change, and then work backwards from there. Thanks...

Hello friends, While in VFP's edit mode, I'm having some annoyance from my two alternate keyboard settings (installed via Control Panel). I use both the standard keyboard, "English (United States)", and for European characters I use the "United States - International" keyboard. In the Control...
