    VFP 8.0 menu weirdness

    I'm baffled. I'm converting an old Fox app to 8.0. It has a menu defined in the code. When I do a REPORT FORM PREVIEW or DO FORM <name> the user defined menu disppears, and the System menu appears. This was working, I have no idea what changed. On the REPORT FORM, the menu changes upon...

    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...

    Importing Visual FoxPro memo fields to Access

    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

    Visual FoxPro fixed fonts

    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...

    Clipper to VFP printing weirdness

    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...

    Logical fields insist on being ReadOnly

    This is probably an air-headed question, but I'm stumped. An app I'm doing has character and logical fields. Used the wizard to build the form. The character fields all edit fine. However, the logical fields, even though each one is readonly = .F., return &quot;the control is...

    An app I'm testing runs a VFP report at startup. It runs fine, displaying to the screen. I can also run the same report off a menu, it runs fine the first time, and I can click the arrow to display the next page. When I run the report the second time, the initial page displays fine, but...

    Upgrading from VFP 5.0 to 6.0

    Just got a contract with a bank. They have a VFP 5.0 app which they would like to upgrade to 6.0. Seems like this should be simple and straigtfoward enough, just rebuild the app in 6.0. Are there any problems or things to look out for going from 5.0 to 6.0? Any help appreciated.
