Guys, you all were a big help to me in developing routines to prevent multiple instances of a modeless form from running. Now, a another question. How do I prevent multiple instances of a Visual FoxPro program from running? The legacy program I am working on can have multiple instances start...

Guys, I have a question on a thread that started earlier. I have a form with a grayed out .name property, apparently from a class. I cannot change the .name property, but would like to as the class is used to create multiple forms, all with the same .name. Any idea how I can rename these...

Guys, it is possible to have more than one table in a grid. I have a situation using VPF 7.0 where displaying the data would be very handy from two tables and NOT creating a cursor. Please let me know ASAP. May have to consider that cursor option if naught else. Frank

Guys, this is probably a silly questions but not one I can seem to find any documents on. We use the Windows Installer to install VFP and was wondering if there is a list of: 1) VFP 6.0 files we DO NOT NEED in a VFP 7.0 install; 2) VFP 7.0 files we DO NEED in a VFP 7.0 install. It would save...
