Possibly a weird issue that I'd like to understand ... I discovered that the contents of my dbf files (created by Visual Foxpro 9) were becoming "corrupted" when installed in the \program files (x86)\ directory of a Windows 7 64-bit system, whilst installing them anywhere else on the disk, or...

Hello, I distribute lookup tables with an application, which had been encrypted using Cryptor. As Cryptor does not work well with Windows 7 I altered the encryption to use strconv(). This works fine in testing. When building an .exe file with InstallShield 5 for Foxpro these tables go into...

I'm not yet an Access user, but I'm looking for a Unicode-compliant replacement for Visual Foxpro. Can anybody tell me whether Access 2007 is truly Unicode-enabled? I.e., that it does not just show a glyph in accordance to which font is being used to view the data, but that the data itself has...

I am assured that by typing a Unicode number, followed by Alt, followed by X (whether at the same time or not, or whether in upper case or not I cannot say, but I've tried the lot!), I can enter a Unicode glyph via the keyboard in both XP and Vista. I have tried this in numerous programs and on...

Much as I love VFP, I am increasingly battering myself against VFP's lack of true Unicode support, and I need to start looking around for a replacement. I'm sure others have been doing the same. So, can anybody recommend a PC-based database program which: - has full Unicode support - has...

I bought a laptop with Vista Ultimate in Dutch and have downloaded and installed the English language module. I have changed the default language in all the correct places, but at every restart the PC defaults back to Dutch language and I have to change it to English. Does anybody know how...

After a struggle I have succeeded in creating a VFP 9 dll which can be accessed by .Net coding, and it's working fine. The issue that I currently have is that when .Net passes a string to the VFP code, the VFP dll opens all the required tables, does the necessary work, passes the string back to...

I have suddenly started getting a number of OLE error codes in VFP 9 which I cannot find reported later than VFP 6. The DLL compiles without problem. Compiling the program accessing it to an APP sometimes gives the error "Library file c:\grc\grctools_dll\grctools.dll is invalid". At other...

I note that this error gives problems to others, but I'm getting it in different situations to others in other threads, so here goes: I'm getting this error "User-interface operation not allowed at this time. 1031". This is in a VFP 6 DLL COM component being accessed by Visual Basic 6. The...

Hello, I have written a VFP 6 dll, which I have tested and which works without problem when called from the VFP environment. A tester is now trying to access this same dll from a non-VFP environment, calling using Visual Basic code. The tester has succeeded in creating the object. However...

In VFP 6, I have always had an intermittent "Error creating the OLE object" error during the "Registering COM component" part of creating an .exe file from a project, especially after testing the same project as an .app. I have previously been able to get rid of that error and compile my...

Hi all, I want to be able to send a character variable as a parameter. That's easy enough, as I send the string surrounded by quotation marks. However, the string being sent in this case may include different types of quotation marks (single or double) and in different quantities (including...

Hello all, I've created a VFP 6 DLL (COM component). In relation to this I was wondering if: 1) anybody knew, or could point me to, a definitive list of other programming languages which can "address" a VFP 6 DLL 2) whether VFP 9 has more/better options for creating a component/API library...

Hi all, I've noted that VFP 9 does not address the issue of the maximum circa 2 Gb table size issue. The response to the moans about this on Microsoft's own website is that users with larger tables should use SQL Server instead. Others (unhelpfully) suggest that users shouldn't need to have...

I have a standalone application (exe) written in VFP 6, which works without problem on most PCs. However, a customer has reported that they have installed/upgraded to VFP 9 on their machine, and now they cannot run the application - the error message is "API Library not found" when double...

I'm trying to create my first VFP 6 DLL. I'm created a project (grctools) with a class (grctools) and a method (jobcodes). The code in the method is: [code] LPARAMETERS m.fieldcontents, m.countrycode, m.case use lu\jobcodes _ftemp = m.fieldcontents m.found=.f. _TEMP =...

In VFP 6, using this code: APPEND GENERAL logofile FROM 'EGU2005-LOGO.BMP' I am adding a bitmap file to a general field in a database. In a form I have added an OLEBoundControl with as contolsource logofile (the name of the general field). However, on the screen the bitmap appears with its...

I currently have a native VFP 6 application, with full interface etc., which batch-processes data using a large number of very large lookup tables. To protect these tables from theft they are excrypted. They are unencrypted into cursors for each process and the process then runs on a whole file...

I know this should be basic stuff, but when trying to debug programs I often get "Source not available" in the debug window. I haven't been able to find out which setting needs altering to allow the source to be shown in the debug window. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

Hi, I have some encoded text files (Unicode UTF-8) files which I want to import into a VFP data table. I am currently using VFP 6, and, as far as I can tell (please correct me if I am wrong) I cannot encode a data table in this version to correctly read the accents in the UTF-8 data. I...
