I'm currently adapating one of our programs so that rather than printing to hardcopy, some reports will be saved as PDF documents. I have succesfully used RegSetValueEx in ADVAPI32.DLL to write out the string value (type REG_SZ in the registry) of the document name prior to PDF'ing, but I also...

Yes, you read it right. If you have a remote view to SQL server and it's taking a long time to retrieve the records, you can speed it up with your mouse!! I noticed this whilst retriving 1m records in a view (VFP7 and SQL2k). It was pulling back 100 records every 0.5s (the speed the status bar...

Hi there, We are in teh process of toying with DTS to control a schedule of VFP programs. We need to know if the VFP app has run succesfully or not (as opposed to crashing) so we built a small test app that you can click OK or Cancel on a messagebox and the app closes with a RETURN 1 or RETURN...

Used to have VFP 7.0 on Win2k. If I double clicked on a .prg or .pjt etc it would open the file in the instance of VFP that was currently running, or if VFP wasn't running at all, open an instance of it. Just upgraded to XP and now every time I double click on a project file (or any VFP linked...

I'm struggling with error handling on a VFP7/SQL2k project. I've managed to trap errors with AERROR(), e.g. if the primary key uniqueness is violated, return a readable message for the user, but after my custom message appears and is cleared, the VFP ODBC 1526 message still pops up. How do I...

Really basic problem here, but I can't fathom it! I've just installed VSS onto our server for use with VFP7. Using SSAdmin to create users won't work though! I select Add Users form the menu, key in the user name and password, click OK and it comes back with an error: "h:\data\vss\users...

I'm just embarking on a major project that will be using VP for the front end and SQL as the database backend. I'm looking for opinions/experiences of this with regard to logging in to the database. Did you use the old VFP way of a user table and checking passwords there, whilst using a single...

I'm just starting to develop an app which requires some security features due to the nature of the data. One of the items in the spec is that after say 30 mins of inactivity, the application locks out the user and they to re-input their password to continue. I'm trying to figure out the best way...

I've got stuck in the middle of an app with the isOpen() method. I'm using VBScript to create the ASP and one of the recordsets used on the page is only opened conditionally on parameters passed to the page. Writing tidy code, I put in a rs2.close at the end of the script and when run it...

Here's one for those of you who have more experience with VB data applications. What are the pro's and con's of the DataEnvironment vs "traditional" hand coded ADO?

Wondering if anyone else has come across the problem of VFP reports bombing out (taking the VFP app with it!) when trying to disply a gif image on the page. I've tried it in VFP6 and VFP7 and also on 2 different PCs. There's no mention of it (that I can find) on MSDN. It's a right pain as it...
