I've decompiled many Clipper apps with Valkyrie. Did one today and got "Locked File-Decompilation not allowed". Anyone know what causes this or any way around ir? I migrate Clipper apps to Windows and clients send me many apps to decompile. Never seen this error before. Bob Morris...

>SET DEFAULT TO JUSTPATH(SYS(16)) Great tip, thanks! Bob Morris www.bomoco.com

Problem solved. I changed the "Start In:" spec in the shortcut to the correct folder and the app works fine from a network! Well duh... Bob Morris www.bomoco.com

I usually do VFP apps in Visual FoxExpress, and I guess it take care of the following problem, which I'm sure has a simple solution, but it escapes me know. My VFP app runs fine on the test system. When I network the app, i.e. make the test folder shareable on the net, and run the EXE from...

...FORM, it changes upon entering the form. If I run it as an EXE I have to use the task manager to kill the app. Any help appreciated. Bob Morris ** menu code DEFINE MENU MAIN BAR AT LINE 0 etc. ACTIVATE SCREEN TOP lExitNow = .F. DO WHILE .T. ACTIVATE MENU MAIN * set T in ExitMenu...

A client has Server 2003. The printers have an IP address. The problem is - the Server can not ping or find one of the printers. Issues: 1) The server can't ping anything (has Internet access is off, is this related?) 2) a workstation can ping the printer and the server, yet the server can...

...undertaking. I finally kludged a solution. 1) Write the report to a txt file 2) Pop the txt file into a memo field 3) Print from the memo field * rpt is the memo field nLines = MEMLINES(rpt) set print on FOR i = 1 to nLines cLine = MLINE( rpt, i ) ? cLine FONT "Courier", 9...

I'm working on converting two ancient Fox DOS systems to VFP. Both have reports done in code, not in report form. I need a way to force these reports to print with fixed space fonts. In Fox DOS, these reports print with the DOS fixed spaced fonts. However in Windows they print with variable...

I want to call Microsoft Word while in a Visual FoxPro application, and do a mailmerge using a Word document and Visual FoxPro data. How do I do this? Bob Morris www.bomoco.com

A client has an ancient system written in DBase IV with over 3,000 report forms. I'm converting it to Visual Foxpro. Anyone know of utilities that will convert these report forms in batch mode to VFP reports? Bob Morris www.bomoco.com

Anyone know how to import a FoxPro table with memo fields into an Access table with memo fields? A direct import doesn't seem to work, as Access doesn't recognize the FoxPro memo fields. Do I need to write a macro? Bob Morris www.bomoco.com

>This problem happens when you include a file with the wrong extension by mistake in the project. That was it. Thanks! One of the PRGs called a REPORT FORM that wasn't there. Bob Morris www.bomoco.com

This is weird. When building an app or exe using project manager I get "Not a Table" and the build stops. The Help for the error says "Not a table (Error 15) The file that Visual FoxPro is attempting to use as a table contains an improper header." I've created a new...

An elderly client needs to migrate his ancient FoxDOS app to VFP. He wants everything to look and act exactly as in the FoxDOS app. No new anything! The screens are done with @ SAY's, not with Forms. I'd like to default all the @ SAYs, etc. to FIXEDSYS font so everything lines up nicely, as in...

Thanks to all who helped. IF the client wants the reports done in the VFP report form, then I will, otherwise my kludge is working fine. Two SET PRINTER TO commands, eh. How weird! Bob Morris www.bomoco.com

Good point. It reminded me of how I fixed the same error in a Clipper to xBase conversion. So, I changed the code, writing the report to a text file then use TYPE TO PRINTER command to print it. Works great, as everything is handled in a Windows-like way now. Bob Morris www.bomoco.com

I'm converting a Clipper app to VFP. The printing is acting oddly. For example, the following PRG prints fine as a stand-alone, yet does not print at all when I include it in the application - all I get is a blank piece of paper ejected. The programs calling this are plain vanilla menus. I'm...

The workstations are Win 98. The errors started happening when they upgraded the server to NT 4.0. Also, another workstation can not select printers as they once could. The Foxpro code simply stopped working. The app is on the server, all the rights look fine. Workstation A Can not print...
