Problem, the Quebec installation has Server and two Workstations running XP English, third...
I am trying to copy a dbf of 64,000 records to an Excel spreadsheet. It only copies the first 16,000+ records. Is this a limit of Foxprow 2.6, Excel or the COPY TO function?
Is there a way round it?

We have a POS application which triggers a cash drawer using the code
SET CONSOLE OFF
SET DEVICE TO PRINT
SET PRINTER TO
??? CHR(27)+CHR(112)+"0,48"
This works fine in 95/98 but crashes in 2K and XP with a GPF 0001:222D. We have tried using only "??" but this does nothing...
I have several FPW 2.6 apps compiled and running under Foxw2600.esl perfectly in win95,win98,win2k-pro and XP-Pro. However the included and context sensitive .hlp files which have been compiled using an .hpj and winhelp 4.03 work fine until we get to 2k and XP. Here they refuse to work within...

I have just recomplied a client's app on my development machine from VFP 3.0 to VFP 6.0. Do I have to install VFP 6.0 on clients network server or can I just upload the new .exe and it will run?

I have been "dragged screaming" from 2.6 into VFP by a clients app which was written by a since departed programmer. (yes we legally own the source!) I have converted to VFP 6.0 reasonably successfully but on investigation find that virtually the entire app runs from a set of 40+...
We have recently "inherited" a large totally undocumented FPW2.6 app and need to try and fathom it out. Foxdoc "Crashes" with a "Program too large" message. Anyone know of a Public Domain or 3rd party documentation programme for such an app?
TIA

Trying to get up to speed with VFP 6.0
Using the application generator I have developed a simple mailing list as a test programme. It has just one screen to which I have added the "Foundation Classes\Buttons\Data Edit Buttons" set of buttons. Run the form in the VFP programme...
ISTR a method by which you can permanantly change the icon that appears in the top left of the window of a compiled FPW26 application. I know it involved temporarily changing the .esl to a .exe file but after that I'm totally lost. Anyone know how to do this??
I have some "ancient" FPW2.6 Help files compiled under the MS Help authoring tool and using an hpj file. These will not run from within the applications under WinXP. They will run perfectly if called directly from the desktop. Anyone know how to fix this? It is particulalry annoying...
