Alright, the current form I am working on is a pageframe with 3 pages. On the first page is a grid and 2 command buttons. The buttons allow you to add/edit records that are displayed in the grid. On the second page are all of the labels and text boxes in the table that are disabled until...

Can someone explain to me the concept of views and why/when you want to use them compared to regular tables? It seems to me that views and tables are very similar, and perhaps my preference is just to use tables over views, but if I am misunderstanding something, I don't want to be cutting...

Right now I have my grid setup so that the rows alternate colors based on recno. It works great, except for when I sort the table any other way than on the primary index. Is there any way I can get each row to alternate colors regardless of how the table is sorted?

I have a 2 page pageframe. On the first page is a grid that is tied to the VEHMAST table in the DSD database. This grid shows all of the current inventory entered. The 2nd page has all of the little details such as price, cost, vehicle location, options, etc. I used to have it so that when...

I have a pageframe setup with 2 pages. The first page is a grid with all the records showing. The second page shows all of the specifics about the record that was selected on the first page. The second page was also created by the VFP wizard, and therefore has the standard button et with...

How can I set up my app so that when I enter a number into a specific field (a VIN check in this case) the app calls a program I have written to validate the VIN?

In VFP 6.0 on my computer when i am designing forms it will only allow the form that I am designing to take up a small area of the available space. I run a 1024x768 desktop resolution, but the workable area is only ~640x480. When I try to maximize the form window, it simply fills the 640x480...

I have a grid of all the inventory I have in stock (cars in this case) and I would like to be able to click the top of a column (Year, Make, Model, etc.) and then have the grid resorted on ascending/descending value for that specific column. I'm sure this must be a fairly basic thing to do, but...

I have a data entry form setup from the form wizard, but my question is this: when I add a new entry, I have to click add from the toolbar at the bottom of the page. When this new blank form pops up, I would like to have the current date already entered in a certain field (the set-up date...

I am getting my feet wet in FoxPro the good-ol' fashioned way: jumping in both feet first but so far I'm not fairing so well. I want to create a form that has a grid based on a free table that will allow my customers to scroll through their inventory (cars in this case). Can someone walk me...

When I try to open a certain form in my project, I get an error that says &quot;Error loading file - record number 6. Header1 <or one of its members>.Parent : Object class is invalid for this container.&quot; The last thing I did was begin to name all of the headers for the columns, but I...

What I have is this: One form with a grid on it that displays information from a table. I also have a form that I setup to allow the user to edit information and store new information to said table. What I want to do is have it so that when the user double clicks on a record in the grid, he...

I can't seem to figure out how to make a grid not select the active cell where a user clicks. I don't want to completely turn the gridd off to user-generated events because eventually I want to be able to double click on a record and bring up a seperate screen. But how do I make it so that...

Are there enough reasons to justify moving from Visual FoxPro 6.0 to 8.0? I haven't done any research yet, my boss just asked me if upgrading would help me out enough to be worth it. I am just learning foxpro, so I'm not engrossed in the ways 6.0 works or anything like that, so switching over...

OK, here's what I have: I have a grid that displays the information from a database. Users cannot modify the database in any form from this grid, it is to view information only. I want to make it so that when the user clicks on a cell within the grid that whole row is highlighted, not just the...

OK, first off I want to declare that I am VERY wet-behind-the-ears here with VFP. I have taken courses for C++ and Java, but that is the extent of my programming knowledge. Anyways, back to the problem at hand. I have a form, and one of the text boxes on this form is called SERIAL_NO1 and is...
