    Is there a site for old books that might have the manuals for Visual Xbase by Rytech International?

    Hi, I've looked at many sites and googled for the VXBase manuals, but have been unsuccessful in finding them. I did purchase the tools way back, but didn't hold onto the manuals. I think there was also a book specifically about the templates back then. But I have no clue how to even search...

    Manipulating long text lines, similar to fields in a table

    Hi, Normally if I have a text file with line lengths less than 255, I can APPEND the text file into a table, manipulate the lines in the table, then output the changes to another text file. But the text files I'm working with, have line lengths of around 1000 characters. The line length is...

    Are the longer field names in a dbc container accessible from the Repl/Dot Prompt?

    Hi, I'm thinking about converting an Access database to foxpro, because I do a lot of ad hoc queries and manipulation when there are problems. If I convert the .mdb (not .accdb) to a Foxpro database in a dbc, will I be able to access the longer field names from the repl?

    How to check connectivity of SFTP server, get a return code, &amp; immediately exit with the return

    Hi, I've seen lots of telnet examples that explain how to use sendkeys to automate a telnet session. But it appears all of them want to do things in the session. I just want to check that the server is up and running, i.e. has connectivity ; return that connectivity status to VBScript, and...

    Can open a link in a browser no problem, but code returns 302

    Hi, A utility we wrote some time ago works with almost all of the urls we give it, but stubbornly returns a 302 for 3 of them. The code is similar to this: Set objHTTP = CreateObject( "Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.6.0" ) Request_s = "GET" objHTTP.SetTimeouts 2000, 30000, 30000, 60000...

    How to enable or disable the sort columns

    Hi, I searched Google for 'automatic sort columns' in excel, and 'columns with triangles on top', and other terms that might help. But I don't know what the feature is called, when the worksheet is formatted so you can sort an individual column without going into Data/Sort. So my main...

    What does 'BTT' refer to, in this context?

    Hi, I've searched the web, and BTT seems to mean a slew of different things. Related to Apple, Cryptocurrencies, and other stuff. But none of it tells me how to resolve this error, in VBScript: CreateObject("KiXtart.Application") The error is VBScript RunTime Error This...

    Can functions from mutiple VBScripts be referenced in a single .wsf file?

    Hi, Can we access several .vbs files, in a single .wsf? Just like we can interact with functions multiple languages, I was wondering if we could use more than one VBScript in the same job.

    Deleting an arbitrary number of lines from a large text file

    Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to efficiently remove hudreds of thousands of lines from a large text file. So e.g., one of the text files has about 3,082,488 lines, and is close a gig in size. So, for testing purposes, we want to pair down several of these files, and maybe remove about 75%...

    ICO file is not a table

    Hi, I'm starting to feel a little guilt from asking so many questions in one week. But I think I'm near the point where we can finally build a project from a few years ago. In this instance, I caused this particular problem. There was some kind of file not found error, and a prompt for a...

    Default PATHs not persisting.

    Hi, This was happening since we started looking at this project. Since there were spaces in some of the subfolders, we thought the problem might be related to that. So we tried putting all paths in quotes, but we had the same problem. The problem is that VFP 9 isn't keeping our folder PATH...

    Third Party tools for editing FPW code

    Hi, Do you know of any third party tools I can purchase, that make editing easier? I don't mean for .prg files ; I have both UltraEdit and the legacy MultiEdit. I mean for forms or other components. I just find the Foxpro editors cumbersome. It could be a standalone tool, or an add-in...

    Another (source) File Not Found error

    Hi, This is in the context of a fairly large project that was written a few years ago. We're not sure which version it was built in, but we're opening it in VFP 9. The File LogStat Not found error happens when we try to re-build the project, or run it. The Main.prg program contains...

    Hi, I'm confused about how to get emails from a specific folder. Almost all of the examples on the web, are assuming that you're getting data from either inbox, or a subfolder of inbox. The folder I'm trying to obtain the subject headings from, is called ThisSpecificFolder , in this...
