I have a string, a person's name. If the name is, say, (James), I make it possessive by appending an apostrophe ('); if it's (Bob), I also include an (s), i.e. ('s). I haven't been able to find a way to check the supplied string to see if it ends with an (s) so I can determine what I need to...

I want my machine to switch to a specific desktop (I'm running kde) at a particular time (of the evening -- sortof a go-to-bed reminder). I have, natch', many options for running commands at certain times, but I want to change to a specific desktop at said time. This is part of an experiment...

I'm trying to set up printing to a network printer, but the KDE printer setup wizard does not show network printer "tcp" as a valid choice; it's disabled. This printer, in fact the whole network printer setup, was working before but I've hopelessly broken something and find myself dumfounded...

Anyone remember the Starry Night screensaver from the ancient After Dark collection? I'd like to write something similar, though better, just for the sake of having it. I'm a sucker for nighttime cityscape photos and would like to create my own and animate them. I'm not looking to write a...

I can't figure out how to get the gdm login manager to stop showing up in german. Pretty certain that all locale settings are what they're supposed to be; can't find language setting in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf (using knoppix/debian distro); google search no help. Anybody got a silver bullet?

Anyone know the php silver bullet for scanning an email server for certain message senders and/or subjects? I'm trying to set up a lightweight email-event manager. Thanks in advance.

Anyone know of a quick-and-dirty, small footprint programming editor ala kate that I can throw onto a windows box? I have to build a php web front-end for a ms-sql/ie-only based app and it would be a lot simpler if I could do so on the server in question...

I continue to get a java.lang.NullPointerException error when trying to connect to an ODBC data source on my hetwork. import java.sql.*; ... Connection j = getDataConnection(); ... private static Connection getDataConnection() { Connection con = null; try {...

At my wits' end here... I'm certain six ways from Sunday that my classpath is correct, so please resist telling me that's my problem. I started by getting this error using MySql Connector, and have progressed to even trying a brand new install of postgres, but continue to get this selfsame...

Here's the skinny: I have a contol-type class defined and I am creating instances within my code. Natch, the objects refer to themselves using the *this* keyword. The trick is that my code is a front-end to a database server and I can only make asynchronous calls to said server. When the reply...

Here's the deal: we receive address lists from customers in Excel format for shipping the products we make. I've written a truly good Wizard in VFP6 that imports the file, holds the user's hand through some simple manipulation, does a little Bainesian magic and Presto! A csv or delimited file...

Sorry for the alliteration... When running all of my forms as top-level and _vfp nicely invisible, there is the unfortunate side effect that print preview windows do not appear. I've tried "define window...in desktop" and directing my output there, but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks in...

On my main project form, I have a button that opens another form to get input from the user to determine where it goes next. Specifically, what page on a pageframe and which pages will be available. My calling button has this code: public waithere waithere=.t. thisform.lockscreen=.t. do form...

Following the instructions in thread #184-142470, I have been having luck getting my forms to run on the Windows desktop with the runtime window nicely hidden away, but I have run into a snag. Text boxes et al do not seem to hold on to their control source. They work fine in the foxpro window...
