Using FrontPage 2002, I'm trying to modify database fields. First, I attempted to use the "Database Interface Wizard." This failed. (The errors there were "supply defaults" etc. which I thought I did. Also the generated display exposes all the records, not a specific one, which means I can't...

I'm working on a macro in Outlook 2003. I've got it replying to an email message with subject, body text, and attachment. I can't get the syntax right for adding a "signature" to the message. This doesn't work: Item.Signature = "My Normal Signature" Even though Item.Body = "text of message...

I've created a VFP program with all files on a CD. I'd like to have a shortcut visible on the CD root which will call the VFP executable. The problem is the CD drive varies from one person to the next. Windows will make a shortcut but requires a hardcoded driveletter (the wizard asks you to...

I recently upgraded from 40g to 80g hard drive and everything seems to have copied over using MaxBlast3 except my MS Office 2000 programs have lost some useful elements. Their icons are gone from the desktop (Windows XP). Outlook doesn't receive and deliver mail. I attempted to uninstall and...

I'm using Visual Foxpro to create email messages to people in a database table. About 60 or 70 messages will be created and put in the Outlook 2000 outbox. I'm getting a prompt with each message asking permission to write the message (virus warning). Each one I answer Yes. What security...

I'm using Excel 2000 as a database for a web site. The file lists addresses. I noticed the zip codes were not coming through the database search routine and it appears that some of them were entered numeric and some text. Since there are hundreds of these, I don't want to manually put an...

I'm using routines in a VFP procedure that involve Word and Outlook. The Word procedure goes fine. Excel works too. But Outlook gives me an error: RPC server not found. If Outlook is activated before the procedure starts, all works well. The system is Windows ME. Running the same procedure on...

Using FP 2000, I wish for a way to create a macro that would automate the final "Publish Web" command. Each time, I have to retype the web user name and password. Yet, FP macros are disabled while in that dialog box. Any ideas? I know you can paste from your clipboard, but that would...
