I worked for a Fortune 200 company for some 15 years. (Not initially, but they did buy the company I worked for.) Little did I know that they had 3 divisions all with separate retirement account systems. Ours was not the latest & greatest (VFP versus Java) but it was the one home staff said...

I've been away so long I don't recall if I asked this before... I was on a team with about a dozen or so VFP apps compiled and uploaded to Microsoft servers back about 2015 with WSDL for COM access. Every few days our servers would crash or hang and when we logged in we found there was no...

I recently updated to Windows 10 Version 1803. A few days afterward I loaded a music CD into Windows Media Player (WMP) and though it initially displayed the track titles and other author details, after a couple minutes it cleared and just listed Track 1, Track 2, Track 3, etc. When I...

I'm modifying another's code. Two option buttons change the lengths for input in a separate textbox. One Opt changes maxlength to 9, width to 9, inputmask to "999999999", .value to "". It all works okay, for example "Length==9". Then the other Opt changes maxlength to 5, width to 5...

Windows 10 build 1607 sat in installing overnight. Frustrating to say the least. Clicked on settings and it said there were issues found. Clicked on that and it said I had some WMA, WMV, etc files that are "protected by an older rights management technology, which is not supported." I...

Just an FYI what happened in my world. The IT dept maintaining the web servers and Linux filers upgraded our filer hardware and software back in April and then we started getting errors (both with VFP and CMD window) with file-oriented commands such as ADIR, COPY, RENAME, ERASE, DELETE. We...

A few years ago I detailed my install notes for VFP 9 in thread184-1620637. Alas, time for a new computer and another install. All went well until I got to the step for installing Hotfix #3 (Build 9.0.0.7423 02/23/2009). When searching for VFP Sp2 Hotfix #3 this page is still there, so far so...

I've used dBase 5 for DOS, dates back to about 1995 for hybrid 16/32 bit Windows/DOS environments. But then we had server security patches added and our COM DLL's couldn't call the dbase EXE files any more. SERVER: dbase EXE did not run WORKSTATION: dbase EXE did not run, message was...

In the past I would use this function to have the program 'wait' for another call to finish. DECLARE Sleep IN kernel32 INTEGER dwMilliseconds Sleep(1000) && 1 second However, doing that could delay the response when starting or using other Windows apps. However, MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx...

I don't have enough familiarity of how the FileSystemObject works under the hood, so to speak, so I'll ask here... I know that if I use the DOS COPY or XCOPY commands to copy a file from one folder on a server to another folder on the same server, it will pull the file over to my workstation...

I was prepared to use the Scripting.FileSystemObject to retrieve the DateLastModified (see code sample in thread184-212462, the code sample there can be used when the user needs DateCreated or DateLastAccessed) when I discovered FDATE({filename},1) which is so very simple to use to obtain the...

I've recently been tasked to creat some all-VBScript jobs, including FTP. Previously they were done with CMD -> SCP & VBS. Here's my attempt to run an old program that does not wotk on my computer. Surely I'm doing it wrong, but can't figure it out. Dim oWSH, myPath, cNewFile, xx Set oWSH =...

I reinstalled my VFP 9.0 and went through the steps of updating it to SP2 and the latest Hotfix #3. I updated my help file to from Microsoft's web site (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vfoxpro/default.aspx) but the links in it failed. That's when I discovered that the working and updated Help...

If you have trouble opening a WKS spreadsheet in Excel 2007, try this workaround to at least read in the file. Open Excel 2007 Select - Data Select - From Other Sources Select - From xml Data Import Locate and select your WKS document Click open Select – existing worksheet Previous...

While running one of my test programs, the duration counter reported negative time. Puzzled as to how I could have miscoded my app, I checked and rechecked but found nothing wrong. So I wrote a test line of code and sure enough it "fails" about once every 5-20 tries when in the last 1/10...

FILETOSTR(), as you would expect, returns an error (#1 File does not exist.) if the file to be read is not found. On the other hand, STRTOFILE() does not error when it fails such as when trying to write a file to a folder that does not exist or to which the user does not have rights. It is the...

Ok, grids are not behaving as I would expect. Grid1 (2 columns) Group Code ... Group Name Grid2 (3 columns) Group Code ... Individual Code ... Individual Name The 2 tables do not use SET RELATION. I tried that at first but only one row would show in Grid1, so I removed it. I allow the user...

Family asked me to help install a geForce 5200 video card into an older eMachines XP Home sp2. Install worked well, though when I tried to install drivers from the disk it said they were older drivers than what was already installed. Problem: Now the Start Menu and System tray are MISSING...

Well, now I have two, yes two, HP LaserJet 4250 printers making a horrible racket around the fuser. Obviously the gears are grinding or slipping and it sounds like a jackhammer the first few seconds when you turn them on and the gears cycle. Is it a known problem with the fusers, or could it...
