I want my report to page break when a field on the form changes value. How is this done is FM 7?

When I try to save changes to a form, I get an Access generated error that says that I require 'exclusive rights', but it appears to save the changes anyway? This is only happening on a limited number of machines and works fine on others. Any suggestions?

My users are being converted from Office 2000 to Office XP. This seems to be the cause of an 'Invalid Callee' error I'm getting when I try to navigate through an mscal.ocx that I have in my Fox application. Does anyone no if these objects are still supported in XP? Thanks, Paul

We upgraded to VFP 7.0 a year ago, and now my supervisor has asked if we should upgrade to 8.0. I read about the new functionality on Microsoft's website but I wanted to get some testimonials from some users before I make a recommendation. Thanks in advance.

I have a table with 4000+ records. One of the fields contains a measurement(500cc, 1ml, etc). The user wanted to limit the choices for entry type(ml,cc,etc), so I added another field to the table for measurement type, and dropped a combobox on the form with valid choices for the user. Hence...

I'm attempting to install a transaction tracking system, FoxAudit, to an existing application. I've followed all of the instruction for the install, and the program seems to work fine until I log out of my app. Then my application crashes and throws me an 'alias not found' message from some...

I have a user that has spelled a word incorrectly within a memo field, 2874 times. The word misspelled is contained within an otherwise correct entry. I am able to retrieve the records with the misspelling by using STRTRAN, but I'm unable to specifically replace(correct) the errant word within...

We have a memo field that's written to as part of a transaction log. How can I search through the memo fields in the table for a specific string?

We lost our production server for about 5 minutes yesterday. When it came back online, I started getting phone calls from the data entry personnel complaining about lost data. All records entered yesterday had all of the 'Memo' data fields(Comments, Transaction memo field) wiped out. All...

My user needs to build what amounts to a data dictionary, defining every field in a database for one of our apps. She's asked if I can provide her with a list of the fields in each of the 12 tables that make up the .dbc. What's the easiest way to do this programmatically? I have placed the...

I had a request to provide a button on several pages of an application linked to a specific word document outlining the SOP's for entering data into that page. I dropped an _hyperlink button on the page and set its cTarget to the path of the Word doc containing the SOP. Everything seems to...

I've imported a file into Foxpro and it has a date field as an 8-digit numeric(ie 20011201). I need to convert this to a standard date format{12/01/2001}. I've done this once before, but I can't remember how. I thought I had to actually write a conversion program, changing the numeric to a...

The scroll bars in one of my applications compiled in VFP 7 are not showing during runtime. They appear at design time, and they appear and operate fine on grids in the same app, but they are not even visible in the edit boxes when the program is running. The user could still page down to view...
